NZBget

NZBget's connection fields exist in Settings, and the Mac can open its web UI, but the Downloads screen does not read or control it yet.

NZBget is a lightweight Usenet client. Pocket Homelab has a Nzbget group in Settings with the fields you would expect for JSON-RPC (URL, control username and control password), but no screen reads them yet. The app has no NZBget client: it never contacts your server.

What you get

No transfers, controls or figures. The only thing the fields do today is give the Mac a shortcut to NZBget’s web UI (see On Mac).

Set up

The fields below match NZBget’s own JSON-RPC control credentials, in case support arrives in a future update. Only the URL has any effect today.

Stored only; the Downloads screen does not use these values.
Key	Field	Required	Secret	Where to get it
`NZBGET_URL`	NZBget URL	Optional	—	Base URL of your instance. Leave empty to hide NZBget features.
`NZBGET_USERNAME`	Username	Optional	—	Settings → Security → ControlUsername.
`NZBGET_PASSWORD`	Password	Optional	Secret	Settings → Security → ControlPassword.

Stored only; the Downloads screen does not use these values.

On iPhone

No screen. The Downloads tab lists qBittorrent, SABnzbd, slskd and MeTube only, and NZBget is not among the Open … web links on the Downloads screen or Home.

On Mac

The Downloads workspace has no NZBget rows and NZBget is not in its client filter.

Services lists Nzbget among the other download services. Without a URL, clicking it opens its Settings. With a URL saved it is described as “Usenet queue”, and clicking it (or its open-in-browser button) opens NZBget’s web UI in your browser, since there is no NZBget screen to go to.
With a URL saved, search offers Open NZBget under Service websites.

Actions

None available.

Works with

Nothing: NZBget is not part of the shared Downloads screen, the Home card or any quick action.

Tips & troubleshooting

Settings → Services → Nzbget has no working Test connection: the iPhone says “No test available for this service yet.” and the Mac “No connection test available for this service.” This is expected, not a problem with your setup.
A saved NZBget URL counts as a service, so on the free plan it takes one of the three service slots. Leave the URL empty if you only want the fields remembered for later.
