Watched folder not working?

Post by metalfan »

Hi,

ive added "watchdir" in config->watched folder. sabnzbd created the dir in /opt/sabnzbd which is good so far.
but copying .nzb files from nzbmatrix to that dir (file permission: 777) does not add them automatically to the queue?
The default 5s delay was not changed.

Do you get any errors or warnings?
Set the logging level on the Connections page to "Debug".
Add some files to the watched folder and see if the logging shows any reaction.
If SABnzbd is able to see and read the files, you should see some reaction in the logging.
