NZB360 Android App: Manage Your Seedbox from Your Phone

4 min read

NZB360 is a powerful Android app that lets you manage your entire seedbox from your phone. Control ruTorrent, Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, SABnzbd, and more — all from one app. This guide covers the correct settings to connect NZB360 to your EvoSeedbox.

What You Can Do with NZB360 #

  • View, add, pause, resume, and delete torrents remotely
  • Add torrents via magnet link, .torrent URL, or search
  • Monitor and manage Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr
  • Control SABnzbd and NZBGet downloads
  • Receive push notifications when downloads complete
  • Manage everything from a single, clean interface

How It Works #

  ──────────                              ──────────

  NZB360 connects to each app separately using
  your seedbox hostname + app credentials

Step 1: Install NZB360 #

Download NZB360 from the Google Play Store. The app has a free version with basic features and a Pro version with full functionality.

Step 2: Find Your Seedbox Details #

Before configuring NZB360, you need your seedbox connection details. Log in to client.evoseedbox.com and go to Services > My Services, then click Manage on your seedbox. You will find:

  • Server hostname — e.g. ducati.myseedbox.site
  • Username — e.g. yourname_12345
  • Password — your seedbox password

  CLIENT AREA — Your Seedbox Details
  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════

  ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
  │  Server:    ducati.myseedbox.site              │
  │  Username:  yourname_12345                     │
  │  Password:  ••••••••  [Copy]                   │
  │                                                │
  │  ruTorrent: https://ducati.myseedbox.site      │
  │             /rutorrent/                        │
  └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘

  Use these details in NZB360's settings below

Step 3: Configure ruTorrent in NZB360 #

Open NZB360, go to Settings, then tap the purple Torrents icon. Fill in the following settings exactly:


  NZB360 — Torrent Settings
  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════

  Torrent Client
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  rTorrent/ruTorrent              ◀── Select this

  Primary Connection Address
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  https://YOURSERVER.myseedbox.site/rutorrent/
                                  ◀── Include /rutorrent/ path
                                      Do NOT put username:password here

  ruTorrent Username
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  yourname_12345                  ◀── From client area

  ruTorrent Password
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  ••••••••                        ◀── From client area

  Path to XML-RPC API                  CRITICAL
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  /plugins/httprpc/action.php     ◀── Must be EXACTLY this
                                      NOT /plugins/rpc/rpc.php
                                      NOT /RPC2

Important: The Path to XML-RPC API must be set to /plugins/httprpc/action.php. This is the most common mistake — using the wrong path (like /plugins/rpc/rpc.php or /RPC2) will cause a “Could not connect to Torrent Client” error.

Tap Test Connection at the bottom. You should see a green success message. If it fails, check the Troubleshooting section below.

Step 4: Configure Sonarr (Optional) #

If you have Sonarr installed on your seedbox, you can manage it from NZB360 too. Go to Settings, tap the Sonarr icon, and enter:


  NZB360 — Sonarr Settings
  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════

  Host
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  https://YOURSERVER.myseedbox.site:14443
                                  ◀── Sonarr SSL URL from client area

  API Key
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  abc123def456...                 ◀── Find in Sonarr: Settings > General

  Username / Password
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  yourname_12345 / ••••••••       ◀── Same as ruTorrent credentials

To find your Sonarr API key: open Sonarr in your browser, go to Settings > General, and copy the API key. Your Sonarr SSL URL is shown in the client area under your installed apps.

Step 5: Configure Radarr (Optional) #

Radarr setup is identical to Sonarr. Go to Settings, tap the Radarr icon, and enter the same format — just use your Radarr SSL URL and Radarr API key (found in Radarr’s Settings > General).

Step 6: Configure SABnzbd or NZBGet (Optional) #

If you use Usenet with SABnzbd or NZBGet on your seedbox, configure them under their respective icons in NZB360 Settings. Use your seedbox’s SSL URL for the app and the API key from the app’s settings page.

Troubleshooting #

“Could not connect to Torrent Client” #

Cause: Wrong XML-RPC API path. This is the #1 issue.

Fix: Make sure Path to XML-RPC API is set to exactly: /plugins/httprpc/action.php

Common wrong values that will NOT work:

  • /plugins/rpc/rpc.php — this plugin does not exist
  • /RPC2 — no SCGI mount configured at web server level
  • /xmlrpc — not a valid path

XmlPullParserException: expected START_TAG <html> #

Cause: The server is returning an HTML page (404 error or login page) instead of XML-RPC data. This means either the API path is wrong or your credentials are incorrect.

Fix: Verify the XML-RPC path is /plugins/httprpc/action.php and that your username/password match what is shown in the client area.

“Failed to connect to primary address” #

Cause: NZB360 cannot reach your seedbox. Could be a network issue, wrong hostname, or your rTorrent is stopped.

Fix:

  1. Verify you can access ruTorrent in your phone’s browser at https://YOURSERVER.myseedbox.site/rutorrent/
  2. Check that your rTorrent is running — go to the client area and click Restart if needed
  3. Make sure you are using https:// (not http://)
  4. Do NOT include username:password@ in the connection address — enter credentials in the separate fields

Connection works but shows 0 torrents #

Cause: Your rTorrent may not be running, or there are genuinely no active torrents.

Fix: Open ruTorrent in your browser to verify torrents are visible there. If ruTorrent also shows nothing, restart your seedbox from the client area.

Alternative: Transdrone #

If you prefer a free alternative, Transdrone offers similar torrent management functionality for Android. However, NZB360 provides a more polished experience with built-in support for Sonarr, Radarr, and other automation apps.
