Watch Folder stopped actively monitoring [dirscanner]

[HarryBalls]

Latest Sabnzbd 3.2.0-47 upgrade (Python 3.8.8-2) on both of my Synology units stopped monitoring the Watch Folder. It will scan and work fine when I select the Scan watch folder option, but does not do so automatically after the latest update. It was working fine before installing the latest update. It's not a permission issue and it doesn't matter if I change the 5 second scan interval up or down. Again, was working before the upgrade and works if I manually select Scan. I've deleted the folder and used the Browse button to add it back into the folder config. I'm at a loss at this point.

Any ideas? It's ongoing issue and I'm happy to provide any logs. Please help. Thanks!

download and open sabnbd.log
in there, find the lines containing ¨dirscanner" ... what do they say?

Here's mine, with sabnbd 3.2.1:

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log | grep -i dirscanner | tail -8

... and it's working (for valid NZB files, that is)

Lots of the above errors. Need to debug what's causing that crash.

I tried creating a new directory in a different location for watching, but that didn't help. I need to help figuring out why dirscanner is crashing/restarting.

[HarryBalls]

Weird. I moved the watched folder and saved the config. I moved it back and saved the change, and now it works. I'll keep my eye on it, but hopefully it's resolved. Still no idea why dirscanner was crashing and attempting restart, but at least it's resolved for now,

[sander]

Restarting crashed dirscanner? That is bad. In your sabnzbd.log, are there any Traceback 's?

Please post them.
