Tretflix is a ready to deploy virtual appliance with the most popular usenet tools pre-installed and configured for an easy “out of the box” user experience.
While Tretflix is not really an addon, this version introduces NzbDrone as one of the featured apps. NzbDrone was highly requested by the /r/usenet sub-reddit community when I released v1.2 in January and I’m very excited to add it to the growing feature set.
I saw this pop up on Reddit yesterday and immediately thought NzbDrone should be included and it already was. Haven’t yet taken a look at it, but the concept is awesome. Thanks!
Hey Markus, glad you approve man, that means a lot! Hopefully some of the folks that are interested in NzbDrone but are new to usenet and the various apps/tools will find this useful.

One question, what version of mono did you use? 2.10.8 works (in the Official repos), but 3.2 is much better.
Looks like v2.10.8. What impact can be expected with the older version vs. 3.2?
Stability is the biggest thing, mono dies under heavy load when using 2.10.8, but I haven’t seen the same thing under 3.2.
Good to know, I’ll keep an eye on this and work the newer mono build in. Does 3.2 have to be built from source?
https://github.com/NzbDrone/NzbDrone/wiki/Installation#wiki-ubuntudebian - the package maintainer makes it available in another source.
Great, thanks! I’ll check this out. I’ve been putting together a method where I can add “fixes” to be deployed whenever apps are enabled or upgraded via the CLI. I can probably figure out how to add this in so people don’t have to re-download and deploy v1.3 again.
Looks like it may be as easy as
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:directhex/monoxide
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libmono-2.0-1
Do you happen to log anywhere the version being used (for confirmation) by NzbDrone?

I agree the unraid plugin uses 2.10 and it crashes. But I’m too afraid to try to install mono three since the base package depended on Slackware 13.1
Can your vm work on virtual box?
If so i can scrap the plug ins and use the vm in vbox
I think yuou just need to add the source and then:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Currently we don’t log it, but we will be doing that soon (and displaying a warning if its less than 3.2).

I wanted to avoid upgrading the distro if possible to keep Tretflix on the current LTS Ubuntu version. After adding the repo and installing libmono-2.0-1 it looks as though I’m on the appropriate libmono build. I’ve launched NzbDrone and it appears to be happy. All indications are that I’m on 3.2. We’ll know for sure with the < 3.2 warning

So far running libmono 3.2 in Tretflix is working fine. Haven’t experienced any issues. Yes, some users have reported running Tretflix in VirtualBox although I don’t know the specifics of how to do so. I imagine the information is easily available as VMware and VirtualBox are both widely used.
If you find any good how-to’s please let me know so I can add a link to my site.
I’ll hit up your site’s forum to see if i can get help using it in virtual box
this is a great idea i have NzbDrone and Sabnzbd already installed on my Windows Server but i am gonna grab this and run it in Virtualbox and check it out
