Hey everyone,

I’ve released a substantial update to NzbNest, my Usenet indexer.

Significantly improved indexing coverage

Indexing coverage and content continuity have improved by an order of magnitude recently.

The index now receives a much broader and more consistent stream of both fresh and historical releases. This has significantly reduced gaps, especially across movies and TV shows, while dedicated request processing helps fill content that is still missing.

Automatic season requests

When an enabled API key searches for a missing TV episode, NzbNest can now automatically request the other missing, already-aired episodes from the same season.

• Existing releases and active requests are skipped
• Duplicate requests are avoided
• Unaired episodes are never queued
• Whole seasons can also be requested directly from the website

Improved request fulfilment

Requests now have a better chance of finding larger, higher-quality releases when they are available.

Every candidate still has to pass NZB structure, article availability, and completeness checks before publication.

Webhooks

User-configurable webhooks are now available from the Profile page:

• Add webhook endpoints
• Select which events to receive
• Send test deliveries
• Review recent deliveries and errors
• Retry failed deliveries

Request limits

Weekly request limits:

• Free: 5 requests
• Member: 500 requests
• Lifetime: 500 requests

The Free tier currently includes 500 API calls and 50 NZB grabs per day.

The update is live now. Feedback, unusual search examples, and compatibility reports from Prowlarr, NZBHydra, Radarr, Sonarr, or other Newznab clients are welcome.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building a Newznab-compatible Usenet indexer called NZBNest, and this is my first time sharing it here.

NZBNest is focused mainly on movies and TV and can be used through the website or connected to:

• Prowlarr
• Radarr
• Sonarr
• NZBHydra 2
• Other Newznab-compatible applications
• TorBox direct search

Free tier

Free accounts currently include:

• 1,000 API calls per day
• 100 NZB grabs per day
• 5 missing-content requests per month

The website also includes TMDB-based discovery, browsing and filtering, watchlists, API key management, and a cart for collecting multiple NZBs.

Missing-content requests

Movies and exact TV episodes that are not currently available can be requested directly from Search, Discover, or the profile page.

The backend searches the available sources and only marks a request as completed after the resulting NZB passes article verification. Temporary failures are retried automatically.

There is also an optional self-hosted bridge for Radarr and Sonarr. It first runs the normal interactive search and only creates an NZBNest request when no configured indexer returns a release.

When the requested content becomes available, it triggers another Arr search so the normal download workflow can continue.

Member and Lifetime accounts have higher limits, including 50 content requests per week, but the main indexer features are available through the free tier.

Website: https://nzbnest.com

I’m the developer, and the project is still being actively improved. Feedback about coverage, matching, download clients, or Arr integration would be genuinely useful.

Hey everyone,

Flix-Streams has grown quite a bit since I first posted it here, so I wanted to share a proper overview of what it includes now.

The main goal is to bring movies, series, anime, Live TV, sports and VOD together in one Stremio addon without needing to configure several different services separately.

Movies, series and anime

Depending on the title, results can include:

• 4K
• REMUX
• BluRay
• WEB-DL
• 1080p and smaller options
• Multi-language releases
• Anime and K-drama content

The addon is designed to provide a good range of qualities instead of only returning smaller compressed links.

80,000+ Live TV channels

Live TV is now one of the biggest parts of Flix-Streams, with more than 80,000 channels across 70+ country groups.

This includes:

• Sports
• Movies
• Entertainment
• News
• Kids channels
• Regional channels
• 4K and Full HD channels where available

You can select the countries and categories you actually want, so Stremio does not get filled with thousands of catalogs you will never use.

Large VOD library

The addon also provides access to a large VOD library containing more than:

• 190,000 movies
• 43,000 series

Live sports events

Upcoming and currently live sports events appear directly inside Stremio.

Events can include:

• Football
• NBA
• NFL
• NHL
• MLB
• Formula 1
• UFC
• Boxing
• Tennis
• Cricket
• Rugby
• Golf
• And more

When multiple channels are broadcasting the same event, the addon can provide several stream options, including 4K, FHD, HD and SD where available.

Event times are displayed in your local timezone, with support for 12-hour or 24-hour formats and clear LIVE indicators.

More than just Stremio

Flix-Streams can also be used through:

• Personal M3U and M3U8 playlists
• VOD playlists
• Xtream access
• EPG guides
• Kodi
• Emby
• Jellyfin

Your settings are saved to your account and connected to one stable manifest URL.

You can change quality preferences, Live TV countries, categories and other settings without creating and installing a completely new manifest every time.

Free version

There is also a smaller free version that requires no login or debrid account:

https://free.flixnest.app/

It includes movies, series, Live TV and live sports. It can also return 4K and REMUX links when they are available.

Full Flix-Streams

You can check out the complete version here:

https://flixnest.app/flix-streams/

The free version will remain available, so anyone can try the basic setup before deciding whether the larger Live TV, VOD and account features are useful for them.

Feedback and bug reports are always welcome. When reporting a broken stream, please include the title or event and what happened so I can actually find and fix it.

NZBNest – content requests, now automatic from Radarr and Sonarr without a self-hosted bridge

Hi everyone!

Short follow-up to my last post. The request system for content that isn't on the indexer yet is live, and since then the automation side got a lot simpler: you no longer need to run anything locally to have Radarr and Sonarr create requests for you. Supporter quotas also went up a lot.

Requests

From search or Discover you can:

• look up a title on TMDB (by name or TMDB ID)
• request a movie or one exact TV episode
• follow the request status from your profile
• cancel a pending request if you no longer want to wait

After a request is submitted, the backend searches the available sources and posts the release to Usenet when it finds one. A request is only marked completed after the resulting NZB passes article verification, so "completed" means the NZB is actually downloadable, not just that something got posted. If a source is temporarily unavailable, it retries automatically before marking the request unavailable.

New: automatic requests straight from the API key (no bridge needed)

This is the part I'd most like feedback on.

Open Profile → API Keys and tick Auto-request exact misses on the key that Prowlarr, Radarr or Sonarr uses. That's the whole setup.

From then on, when an exact movie or episode is missing, NzbNest queues it automatically and publishes it once a usable source is found and verified. A request is only created for an exact Radarr movie search or an exact Sonarr episode search carrying a TMDB, TVDB or IMDb ID that returns nothing. Generic searches, browsing, season searches and indexer connectivity tests never create requests, and the toggle is per key, so you can leave it off for the key you use for manual searching.

The search page now shows the current state directly — which keys have it enabled and how many requests you have left in the current period.

The self-hosted bridge is still available

If you'd rather have your monitored library swept instead of reacting to live searches, the optional bridge still does that: it walks monitored movies and missing episodes, runs the Arr application's own interactive search first, and only submits an NZBNest request when that search returns nothing — so it won't request anything another indexer could already give you.

Status comes back as Arr tags:

• nzbnest-requested
• nzbnest-available
• nzbnest-quota-full
• nzbnest-unavailable

Sonarr tags the series rather than the episode, because it has no episode-level tags. When the release becomes available, the bridge triggers a new movie or episode search automatically and the normal Arr grab/import flow takes over.

Setup: create a Radarr & Sonarr integration token on the Profile page, download the bundle, fill in your local Radarr/Sonarr URLs and API keys in the example Compose file, paste the one-time token, and start it with Docker Compose. It works alongside an existing Prowlarr setup.

Request quota

• Free accounts: 5 content requests per month
• Active Member and Lifetime supporters: 50 content requests per week (resets Monday)

Website requests, auto-requested exact misses and bridge requests all draw from the same quota, so a misconfigured automation can't build an uncontrolled backlog. When the quota is full, a bridge item gets the nzbnest-quota-full tag and is retried after the next quota reset.

• a release cart for collecting multiple NZBs
• direct TorBox search compatibility
• Google sign-in, self-service API key management, and an NFO viewer on release details
• better exact movie and episode matching, including single-word series names and compact possessive titles

Requests naturally aren't guaranteed — if no usable source exists, there's nothing to post — but the system keeps trying within its retry window.

Website: https://nzbnest.com

Feedback and real-world testing are welcome, especially from anyone who turns on the exact-miss toggle on their Prowlarr key.

Hi everyone!

I posted about NZBNest a few days ago, and the biggest addition since then is a new request system for content that is not currently available on the indexer.

Users can now:

• Search TMDB by title or TMDB ID
• Request a movie or one exact TV episode
• Submit requests directly from search and Discover
• Follow the request status from their profile
• Cancel a pending request if they no longer want to wait

After a request is submitted, the automated backend searches the available sources and publishes the release to Usenet when possible. A request is only marked as completed after the resulting NZB passes article verification.

If a source is temporarily unavailable, the system retries automatically before marking the request as unavailable.

Automatic Radarr and Sonarr requests

There is also an optional bridge for Radarr and Sonarr.

The bridge first runs the application's normal interactive search. It only creates an NZBNest request when that search returns no releases, so it should not generate unnecessary requests for content that is already available through another indexer.

Request status is shown through Arr tags:

• nzbnest-requested
• nzbnest-available
• nzbnest-quota-full
• nzbnest-unavailable

When the requested release becomes available, the bridge automatically triggers another movie or episode search so the normal Arr workflow can continue.

The bridge is optional and can be downloaded from the Profile page. It works alongside an existing Prowlarr setup.

Monthly limits

• Free accounts: 5 content requests per month
• Active Member and Lifetime supporters: 50 content requests per month

Website and automatic Arr requests use the same monthly quota. This prevents a misconfigured automation setup from creating an uncontrolled backlog.

Other recent additions include a release cart for collecting multiple NZBs, direct TorBox search compatibility, and better exact movie and episode matching.

Requests are naturally not guaranteed if no usable source exists, but the system will keep trying within its retry window.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a Usenet indexer called NzbNest and thought it might be useful for people using AIOStreams with TorBox Pro.

It’s Newznab-compatible, so you can add it through the Newznab addon and use the API details from your NzbNest account. The index is mainly focused on movies and TV.

Registration is currently open, and there’s a free tier available if you just want to test how the results and grabs work with your setup.

I’m the developer, so feel free to report any issues with searches, categories or failed grabs.

NZBNest – A Growing Usenet Indexer Focused on Reliable NZBs

Hi everyone!

I’ve been building NZBNest, a Usenet indexer designed to work with Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, and other Newznab-compatible applications.

Recent improvements include:

• Faster browsing, searching, and pagination
• Better release title and category detection
• Improved NZB health checks and automatic repair
• Search by title, year, quality, and release name
• Community NZB uploads
• Clear API usage information
• Mobile-friendly interface and dark mode

I receive a lot of useful feedback through Discord, and I’m actively using it to improve the site and make the overall experience better. Fortunately, I’ve also received plenty of positive feedback, especially about successful downloads and finding releases that were difficult to locate elsewhere.

My goal is not simply to display the largest possible number of releases. I’m focused on making sure indexed NZBs are complete, correctly named, searchable, and actually downloadable.

The free plan currently includes 1,000 API requests per day, which should be enough for normal personal automation.

Website: https://nzbnest.com

Feedback is always welcome, but NZBNest is open for regular use and not just testing.

NzbNest.com is open for registration — 30% launch discount

NzbNest is open for registration — 30% launch discount

Hey everyone,

NzbNest (https://nzbnest.com) is now open for registration. It's a Newznab-compatible Usenet indexer focused on movies and TV, built to work directly with Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, and NZBHydra 2 via the /api endpoint.

The indexer is live and actively growing, with improved NZB quality detection, better release size parsing, and more useful filters now available.

What's live right now:

• 3.2M+ articles indexed across 31 enabled groups
• 441K+ indexed / browsable items
• ~4,000 release candidates
• Improved NZB quality detection
• Better release size parsing
• Improved category, age, size, and completion filters
• Postgres-backed search
• XML/JSON Newznab output
• Setup guides included for Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr/NZBHydra 2

Pricing:

• Free tier — currently 1,000 API calls/day, 100 grabs/day, and 10 watch rules during the launch period. These limits are temporarily raised and may be adjusted later.
• Member — $15/year, unlimited API/grabs/watch rules
• Lifetime — $49 one-time, same unlimited access

A 30% launch discount is currently active and applied automatically at checkout.

I'm being upfront that NzbNest is still actively growing retention and category coverage — the homepage shows live indexed stats rather than a fixed marketing number, so what you see is what's actually crawled and indexed.

Bug reports and compatibility feedback are very welcome, especially around specific *arr setups, NZBHydra 2, category mapping, NZB quality labels, release sizes, and search results.

Happy to answer questions here.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share NzbNest, a Newznab-compatible Usenet/NZB indexer that may be useful for people using TorBox Pro with AIOStreams, Newznab, NZBHydra 2, Prowlarr, Sonarr, or Radarr.

Since TorBox Pro users can use Usenet results through setups like AIOStreams and custom Newznab indexers, I thought this might be relevant here.

Site

https://nzbnest.com

What it is

NzbNest is a Usenet/NZB indexer with Newznab-compatible XML/JSON API output.

It can be added as a Newznab indexer in compatible tools using:

https://nzbnest.com/api

You will also need your API key from your NzbNest account.

Current stats

• 3.2M+ articles indexed
• 31 enabled Usenet groups
• 424K+ browsable releases
• ~4,000 release candidates
• Newznab-compatible XML/JSON API
• API endpoint: /api
• Setup guides for Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, and NZBHydra 2

Why I am posting here

I am mainly looking for feedback from TorBox Pro / AIOStreams users who use custom Newznab indexers.

Useful feedback would be:

• whether results show correctly in AIOStreams
• whether TorBox handles the NZB results properly
• category mapping issues
• search quality
• missing results
• badly grouped releases
• API compatibility problems

The indexer is still new and actively being improved, so feedback from real TorBox setups would help a lot.

Thanks.

NzbNest is now open for registration — new Newznab-compatible indexer focused on movies & TV

Hey everyone,

After a few months of building, NzbNest (https://nzbnest.com) just opened registration. It's a Newznab-compatible Usenet indexer focused on movies and TV, built to work directly with Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, and NZBHydra 2 via the /api endpoint.

What's live right now:

• 3.2M+ articles indexed across 31 enabled groups
• ~4,000 release candidates, 256K+ browsable releases
• Postgres-backed search with category, age, size, and completion filters
• XML/JSON Newznab output
• Setup guides included for Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr/NZBHydra 2

Hi everyone,

I’m building NzbNest, a beta Newznab-compatible Usenet metadata indexer, and I’m looking for a few people to test client compatibility.

Site: https://nzbnest.com

Current focus:

• Newznab /api compatibility
• Prowlarr setup

• Sonarr/Radarr-style automation client compatibility
• search latency
• category accuracy
• NZB grab reliability via t=get and /getnzb
• API key/account flow

There is a free tier, and its limits are currently expanded during beta testing. Those limits may change after the beta period.

I’m mainly looking for technical feedback:

• Does the indexer test successfully in your client?
• Are searches fast enough?
• Do NZB grabs return valid XML?
• Are categories mapped correctly?
• Do any Newznab calls fail?

If something breaks, please share the client name, query type, response time, and error message so I can fix it.

Thanks.

Apology and clarification about the Flix-streams legacy 10-provider access

Hi everyone,

I want to publicly apologize to u/Femur233 and to anyone else who was affected by the old Flix-streams legacy 10-provider offer.

After looking back at the screenshots and the timeline, I was wrong.

One important clarification: this user did not buy a separate one-time legacy/lifetime supporter plan that I manually removed or revoked.

He originally bought the monthly plan. At that time, there was a legacy rule/offer where users who completed two monthly payments before the cutoff date could keep 10-provider legacy access even after unsubscribing. That old offer later ended, and it was announced as ended, but his second payment was before the cutoff, so he should have been included in the legacy group.

His access was incorrectly cut off by the automated system as if it were a normal expired monthly subscription. The legacy access itself is working; the issue here was that this monthly account should have been moved into the legacy fallback based on what I had promised at the time, but the automated system did not do that and I did not properly verify it before responding. That was on me.

I also handled the conversation badly. I came across as dismissive and defensive instead of listening, checking the proof, and owning the mistake immediately. For that, I’m sorry.

To be clear: if someone qualified for the old legacy 10-provider access under the terms that were shown or explained at the time, I will honor that. If anyone believes they are in the same situation, please contact me with proof of the payment dates / original offer, and I will review it properly. If I cannot honor it for any reason, I will offer a fair refund instead of arguing with people.

I also want to clarify what Flix-streams is and why it is paid, because I think I have done a poor job explaining it.

Flix-streams is not just “free HTTP links behind a paywall.” The service aggregates several backend source types and services, including Usenet-related sources, debrid-backed sources, private servers with large libraries, and other provider channels, so users do not have to set up and maintain all of those pieces separately.

For example, as many of you know, streaming from Usenet is not usually something a casual user can just open and use directly. To get good results, especially for non-English, older, or niche content, you often need good indexers, the right setup, self-hosted tools, and something like nzbdav or a similar solution to stream through your own server. Flix-streams provides that through its own infrastructure so users do not have to build and maintain that whole setup themselves.

The same idea applies to the other source types too. My goal is to provide a straightforward experience, especially for users who do not want to, or are not technical enough to, manage multiple sources, buy multiple separate subscriptions, self-host services, and still be limited in their results.

Those sources and infrastructure have real ongoing costs.

That said, none of that excuses unclear wording, bad support, or failing to honor what people were told when they paid.

Going forward, I will make the plan descriptions much clearer and make sure edge cases like this are manually checked before I reply, especially when an old promise or legacy fallback may apply.

Again, I’m sorry to u/Femur233 and to anyone else who felt deceived or dismissed. You were right to call this out. I should have handled it better.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share Flix Streams, a Stremio addon built to combine movies, series, anime, Live TV, live sports events, personal M3U tools, EPG links, and account-based setup into one configurable addon.

The biggest recent focus has been Live TV and World Cup / live football event support.

Flix Streams includes:

• Movies, series, and anime stream results
• 4K, remux, 1080p, and other quality labels where available
• Live TV catalogs
• A new Live Events catalog for sports/event listings
• World Cup / major football event support through matched Live TV channels
• Live Event streams that can include 4K, FHD, HD, or SD options depending on the available source channels
• Events catalog timezone and 12-hour / 24-hour clock settings
• Premium Live TV Vault (PLTV1)
• Strong Vault TV (SVT)
• DLStreams support
• Signal Vault
• Debrid Vault Turbo
• Usenet Vault
• HDHub / HDHub4u fixes
• Jellyfin integration
• Personal Live TV M3U links
• Separate VOD M3U links
• EPG links, including source-specific EPG options
• Account-based stable manifests

Live Events / World Cup

The Events catalog matches real sports listings against available Live TV channels, so instead of manually searching through channels, you can open an event directly in Stremio and see matching PLTV1/SVT stream options.

For major football events and World Cup matches, Flix Streams can show multiple matched Live TV options directly under the event. When 4K source channels are available, Live Events can include 4K stream options too.

It supports:

• event names
• event times
• timezone display for the Events catalog
• 12-hour / 24-hour clock option
• LIVE badge when the event should already be running
• fallback channel matching if an exact event channel is not available

This is especially useful for football, World Cup matches, and other live sports where channels can change or appear close to kickoff.

Live TV infrastructure

Live TV now runs through a bigger VPS for the main proxy path, with better routing for PLTV1, SVT, and DLStreams. A lot of work also went into cache behavior, stale playlist handling, and safer fallback when a HD channel is unavailable.

The goal is to make Live TV and event links load faster and more reliably, especially during busy periods.

Setup

You can configure the addon here:

https://flixnest.app/flix-streams

If you already installed Flix Streams before, I strongly recommend reinstalling the manifest in Stremio because the catalog structure, Events catalog, Live TV behavior, and account sync have changed a lot.

Supporter access

Most advanced Flix Streams features are available through an active supporter plan. Flix Streams is not just a simple scraper addon: it uses paid servers, Live TV proxy routing, higher-capacity VPS infrastructure, caching layers, bandwidth, provider maintenance, M3U/EPG generation, and ongoing development work.

Supporter access helps keep the addon stable, especially for Live TV, Events, World Cup matches, high-traffic periods, and premium provider routes. It also makes it possible to keep improving the addon instead of limiting everything to a small free setup.

What is coming next

More good things are planned soon. The recent updates laid a lot of groundwork for faster links, better Live TV, stronger event matching, and a cleaner setup experience.

Thanks to everyone testing, reporting bugs, and supporting the project.
