Description of issue:

Hello,

Is it possible to setup two SABnzbd instances and have Sonarr provide the option on where to send the files to?

I have two SABnzbd instances setup (one locally, one on a remote seedbox) and would like to pick and choose if need be. The local server doesn’t have a great CPU and when SAB runs full tilt, it uses almost all of the CPU available while going through the unrar/unpacking process, causing processing limitations for other things like Plex. (The CPU is garbage but it came with the server, and finding a decent replacement has been a drawn out process).

The remote server is a lot more capable (given it’s on a shared seedbox), but I can’t see an option within Sonarr to pick and choose where to send .nzb files to (please correct me if the option already exists).

If I have both instances enabled, it defaults to my local server. Doesn’t matter which order I enable them in, always picks local.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT:

I’ve enabled tracing within Sonarr, and Sonarr can definitely see both SABnzbd instances, but seems to favour local as there’s a lot more logs about it than the remote box.

As a test, I’ve setup the local SAB server on a DNS redirect to make it look like it’s available from the internet, thinking that maybe the local 192.168.0.0/16 range held more priority than a web hostname… nope; identical result.

Even renamed the remote SABnzbd instance with a _ (ie. _SABnzbd - Remote) to make it float to the top of the alphabetical list, didn’t make any difference :unamused:

On one download client for Usenet will be used when multiple are enabled in Sonarr, it’s usually the first one, but we don’t explicitly order them.

At this time we do not have plans to support multiple download clients of the same type (Usenet or Torrents).

Hmm, that’s a shame… oh well, thanks for the info.
