Anyone know what could keep SABnzbd from loading? It was working just fine... I came from newsleecher and this is 1000x better! My problem now is that it doesn't load... I open it and I'll get the wait cursor for a split second and it will go away. I check my tasks and sabnzbd isn't running. I can't bring up the web interface. It just completely stopped working. I've also tried uninstalling and re-installing.
Any help is highly appreciated.
PS. I am on Vista x64
SABnzbd doesn't load at all anymore?!

Well I solved the problem. If you use categories with titles enclosed in brackets (example: "[a.p.p.z]"), your settings file once saved and reloaded will be considered not valid.
Code: Select all
Fatal error:
"C:\Users\da.m4nn\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini" is not a valid configuration file.

Re: SABnzbd doesn't load at all anymore?!
The way we handle incorrect INI files is far from ideal.
We're working on a better solution.
The reason brackets [] are not allowed is that we use the ancient Windows INI file format.
This format has lots of restrictions, so we will dump it sometime in the future.
BTW: didn't you see something like this in the web browser?

Maybe XML a solution for the future?

Very likely.

Nope, I didn't even know there was an error until I ran SABnzbd - Safemode.shypike wrote: The way we handle incorrect INI files is far from ideal.

Strange, because (unless you have auto browser launch disabled)
you should get a browser window with the error message.
