I have forked jonnyboys newznab-tmux as he and the dev team have moved to another project (https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb). I will try as much as i can to maintain and improve these tmux scripts, where possible and needed, as they are a valuable addendum to newznab+. Support is given on irc.synirc.net #tmux channel.

I started adapting some of more interesting scripts from nZEDb, but they require tempering with newznab database, so use them at your own risk. Any update to nn+ db could render them useless. Scripts require PHP version => 5.5 and Python 2.7x or newer.

Now, clone my github. These scripts need to run from this location and this is where I was asked to put them. If you have decided to use an alternate location, you will need to edit the file bin/config.php to point to the file newznab/www/config.php. If you do not, these scripts will not run.

cd /var/www/newznab/misc/update_scripts/nix_scripts/ git clone https://github.com/DariusIII/newznab-tmux.git tmux cd tmux

There is a lib folder in main tmux folder. In that folder you will find two folders, /DB/ and /copy_this/. if you are setting up tmux for the first time, import db.sql using cli (mysql -u {┤your username} -p newznab < db.sql).

1. Copy files from /lib/copy_this/www folder into your newznab installation folder. I have created the nntmux theme where all the settings are available.

2. Copy files from /lib/copy_this/misc folder into your newznab installation folder.

3. Most of the scripts are now threaded.

4. All the required folders are created when you copy files from copy_this folder.

yEnc:

Note: You have 3 choices, you can install simple_php_yenc_decode which offers the best performance, installing yydecode, which offers good performance, or using PHP (no install required) which is very slow. You can change these at any time if you have issues with any of the 3.

simple_php_yenc_decode:

   sudo apt-get install git
   cd ~/
   git clone https://github.com/kevinlekiller/simple_php_yenc_decode
   cd simple_php_yenc_decode/
   sh ubuntu.sh
   cd ~/
   rm -rf simple_php_yenc_decode/

yydecode

   cd ~/
   mkdir -p yydecode
   cd yydecode/
   wget http://colocrossing.dl.sourceforge.net/project/yydecode/yydecode/0.2.10/yydecode-0.2.10.tar.gz
   tar -xzf yydecode-0.2.10.tar.gz
   cd yydecode-0.2.10/
   ./configure
   make
   sudo make install
   make clean
   cd ~/
   rm -rf yydecode/

Note: After installing you can change the yEnc setting in tmux edit accordingly.

Threaded Scripts:

Tmux comes with php threaded scripts, python scripts are still there, but are not used, and will be removed in future

Table per group:

Tmux can now be used with TPG ported from nZEDb, you need to run lib/testing/DB/convert_to_tpg.php to convert binaries, parts and partrepair tables, after this you will be able to use threaded releases.php

Alternate NNTP provider:

Newznab-tmux has added support for dual NNTP providers, you need to edit the provided config.php in lib/copy_this/config_edit_before_copy folder

Sphinx support:

Newznab-tmux now comes with its own Sphinx support, ported from nZEDb. Installation readme is in misc/sphinxsearch folder, and in copy_this/misc/sphinxsearch folder

This version of tmux has many core newznab files modified, use at your own risk.

Tmux is started with start.php (php start.php command). Scripts not used anymore are still available for your use, but you need to run them manualy.
