Random NZBs not extracting

Post by Zenak »

Ok, so this isn't an issue with SAB per se, because I have tested the NZBs with other clietns and the same thing occurs. I guess I'm looking for some basic NZB file help, but this seems like a pretty good place to get it.  I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.

this has been happening to me  recently, and I'm not sure if the issue is NZB file related or not.  Random movies will download from the NZB, but once downloaded the auto repair and extract features of my clients aren't able to extract and repair. the file names always end up being some format that seems to be a date file and not what you would normally expect.

When I manually runQuickPar it renames the files and I'm able to extract them properly. They get renamed to a 2 digit number like 29 or 72, but then extract fine.

This has been tested and neither SABNzbd or Newsleecher were able to process the nzb 'Vampires Suck' located here: http://nzbmatrix.com/nzb-details.php?id=751310&hit=1 Also this file from NZBS.org :http://nzbs.org/index.php?action=view&nzbid=438165

Code: Select all

Download

Repair

Unpack

Path
D:\Media Root\Movies\_FAILED_Hostel.Duology.1080p.BRRip.XviD.AC3-FLAWL3SS
Is this simply because the files were misnamed, or is there something with the way the NZB was created that is throwing the auto repair and extract off? Is there a way to have SAB kick off PAR2 and rename the files automatically?

SABnzbd isn't very good at handling irregularly named par2 sets (like most clients).
We are working on some improvements for a later release.
For now you have to deal with this manually.
