Unrar problem

Post by cytec »

Hi,

Seems like there is a problem with some characters in password. I've got a password like this: UR-DriR2evAq2B2e4P35W7§

log:

Code: Select all

2013-10-26 01:34:08,364::DEBUG::[nzbstuff:473] META-DATA = {u'password': [u'UR-DriR2evAq2B2e4P35W7\xa7']}
2013-10-26 01:34:01,778::DEBUG::[newsunpack:568] Running unrar ['/usr/syno/bin/unrar', 'x', '-idp', '-o-', '-or', u'-pUR-DriR2evAq2B2e4P35W7\xa7', '/volume1/downloads/incomplete/G91DxJK6qo5maWtV45FKx2tRK04.part01.rar', '/volume1/downloads/complete/_G91DxJK6qo5maWtV45FKx2tRK04/']
2013-10-26 01:34:02,060::ERROR::[newsunpack:512] Unrar failed. Archiv needs Password. (G91DxJK6qo5maWtV45FKx2tRK04.part01.rar)

so it seems like unrar cant handle unicode strings for password?

There was a recent discussion about this. iirc, unicode passwords won't work until sab 0.8 - that's assuming unrar can handle it.

Full Unicode will always be an issue, because SABnzbd uses a command line interface.
Possibly it may work on OSX and Linux, but on Windows it's unlikely.
