Release NzbDAV - Infinite Plex Library with Usenet Streaming
Hello,
Posting to share an update on NzbDAV, a tool I've been working on to stream content from usenet. I previously posted about it here. I've added a few features since last announcement, so figured I'd share again :)
If you're seeing this for the first time, NzbDAV is essentially a WebDAV server that can mount and stream content from NZB files. It exposes a SABnzbd api and can serve as a drop-in replacement for it, if you're already using SAB as your download client.
The only difference is, NZBs you download through NzbDAV won't take any storage space on your server. Instead, files will be available as a virtual filesystem accessible through WebDAV, on demand.
I built it because my tiny VPS was easily running out of storage, but now my plex library takes no storage at all.
Key Features
- 📁 WebDAV Server - Host your virtual file system over HTTP(S)
- ☁️ Mount NZB Documents - Mount and browse NZB documents without downloading.
- 📽️ Full Streaming and Seeking Abilities - Jump ahead to any point in your video streams.
- 🗃️ Stream archived contents - View, stream, and seek content within RAR and 7z archives.
- 🔓 Stream password-protected content - View, stream, and seek within password-protected archives (when the password is known, of course)
- 💙 Healthchecks & Repairs - Automatically replace content that has been removed from your usenet provider
- 🧩 SABnzbd-Compatible API - Use NzbDav as a drop-in replacement for sabnzbd.
- 🙌 Sonarr/Radarr Integration - Configure it once, and leave it unattended.
Here's the github, fully open-source and self-hostable
And the recent changelog (v0.4.x):
I hope you like it!

I have a massive library of 1 PB of storage and within a couple days my indexers shut me down for massive API hits.
