Error message

Post by absinthe »

Though I am loving this program so far, I keep hitting snags.  It is difficult to download only select files from a post, so I tried created a custom NZB at Newzbin (by only checking the file I wanted -- in this case a sample of a video file).  I loaded the NZB into SABnzbd+, but for some reason it returns the following "warning:"

2010-02-12 18:35:43,032 WARNING: Invalid NZB file XXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX (XXXX).nzb, skipping (reason=NzbParser instance has no attribute 'groups', line=0

Of course, nothing downloads.  When I go ahead and just create an NZB of the full posting and load that, it starts to download normally. 

What is the difference between these two files?  I have never had trouble with any NZB I've snagged at Newzbin over many years.

NEVER MIND! 

Problem solved.  Silly me, I had the app set up not to download sample files ... so, uh, obviously ...

I'm confused now.
The error you reported indicates an invalid NZB file.
What's the relation with not selecting samples?

I ran into this issue also.

For me the issue was that when I put an .nzb that contained ONLY "sample" files into the SABnzbd Watched/blackhole folder the .nzb file didn't get picked up by SABnzbd. A check of the log shows the above error when it loaded the file.

I did have Ignore Samples set to Ignore, so technically SABnzbd was behaving as it should, even if the error was misleading.
