SABnzbd won't unpack nor move files based on categories

Post by sparker366 »

I am stumped. Using SABnzbd Version: 0.7.18. I can't seem to figure out why it won't unpack. I have to manually unpack all the downloads.

Now I also have an issue where it won't move the downloads to the proper folder based on the category setting. I have checked the NZB's and they have the correct categories in them. This used to work fine. I just got my computer back in June and it was sitting doing nothing. No changes made to it nothing.

This has me confused. I did update the program to the newest but that didn't fix anything. This is my category settings https://www.dropbox.com/s/ygs7h4nazq33v ... .35.12.png The used to work fine. No software update until yesterday.

... maybe you instructed SABnzbd to do so: check what "Processing" of a Download is set to. You need the setting "+Delete"

If you look at the link in my post you will see my category settings most of them are +delete. Where else do I need to set that +Delete at? Well I did set default to +delete and that fixed the unpacking. Now I need to fix the categories. It's still leaving the folders in the main newsgroups folder instead of the sub folders for each category.

I'm only focussing on your first line saying "I have to manually unpack all the downloads."; one problem at a time.
The +Delete most be set in the Queue overview

(Unless you mean it only doesn't work in combination with Categories)

Not sure what you mean by "Queue overview". However setting +Delete for the Default Category fixed the unpacking. However I feel SABnzbd is for some reason not parsing the categories from the nzb file.

Here is the top portion of an NZB file

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.1//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.1.dtd">
<nzb xmlns="http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/2003/nzb">

<head>
 <meta type="category">XXX > Other</meta>
 <meta type="name">NA 18359</meta>
</head>
All I am concerned with is the stuff <meta type="category">XXX > Other</meta> The rest of the stuff can be dropped.

Seems I found my solution in this post http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16717.

However that was never the case. I could download nzb's and it would move them correctly. I will give this a go and see how it works.

That post fixed it. I guess I could use a RSS feed to bypass this need for watched sub folders but this works just fine.
