FST / RSS / SABNZBD v0.7.3 Downloads No Longer Working

Post by CyberCitizen »

Hey Guys & Girls,

I have been having an issue recently where my auto downloads in SABNDBD+ via FST's RSS feed are no longer working. It kind of fails to retrieve the NZB file, yet if I copy the same URL from the same RSS feed & paste it into a browser the file downloads, same if I paste it into SABNDBD+ as a new download it works as well. Not sure if its a FST RSS issue or SABNZBD+ which is v0.7.3.

The RSS site repeatedly sends empty files, maybe because of bugs or overload.
It's also possible that they changed something in their RSS format.
I wasn't aware that this is an NZB site.
I'll have a look at it when I can.

Thanks shypike,

I had updated SABNZBD recently and wasn't sure if it was something with the new version or their RSS feed.

But the site has also been experiencing down time recently, I just found it strange that SABNDBD says to wait so many seconds & I would assume it would try again, but even if I pause & play it again, as well as force disconnect it doesn't resume. I have to upload a new URL or NZB file to SABNZBD.

Thank you for having a look, I have raised the issue with them as well. Hopefully we can find a fix soon.

When a site has problems delivering the goods,
it's better not to hammer it. Hence the non-overidable pauzes.

Filesharingtalk has a rather lame API or it's currently simply screwed.
It looks like they require browser-level login, which means that the links in the RSS feed cannot be used without being logged in first.
What SABnzbd receives is a compressed HTML page telling you to login first.
If it worked before, then they must have changed something.
At the same time they screwed up their HTML compression negotiation method.

As Long As You Logged In & Got Your RSS Feed Via There Button It Has Your User & Pass ID / Codes In The URL Path. This Prevents It From Being Accessed By Anyone Without Your Login Info Being Cached. You Don't Need To Log Into The Site Every Time Though.

Here Is The Response I Got From Them, They Are Looking Into It.

I still get exactly the same results as you did.
From what I can see, things go wrong at their end.
