First thing to do is test the newznab access by checking IP-adress/spotweb/api?t=c
Then you can try the direct categories.
Replace localhost and the api key and try http://localhost/spotweb/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5030,5040&extended=1&apikey=&offset=0&limit=100
It might be your retention which is taking your query to much time before presenting the result. I set it to 100 days.
Additionally, there is a category error on github which includes to much hits including pr0n.
Install dir might be differrent if you are using a package, but…
/opt/bin/nano /volume1/web/spotweb/lib/page/SpotPage_newznabapi.php
case 5030: return ‘cat0_z1,cat0_a0,cat0_a1,cat0_a2,cat0_a3,cat0_a10’;
case 5040: return ‘cat0_z1,cat0_a4,cat0_a6,cat0_a7,cat0_a8,cat0_a9’;
Change to:
case 5030: return ‘cat0_z1,cat0_z1_a0,cat0_z1_a1,cat0_z1_a2,cat0_z1_a3,cat0_z1_a10’;
case 5040: return ‘cat0_z1,cat0_z1_a4,cat0_z1_a6,cat0_z1_a7,cat0_z1_a8,cat0_z1_a9’;
