SABnzbd Forums

hey guys,

i have just updated to v0.7.9 and now i am getting the following issues
WARNING: Empty NZB file

i did a test on a few different series and new stuff, it keeps giving me the same issue

any suggestions???

Do these NZBs contain only sample material and did you set "do now download" for samples?

where do i find that?

i have just checked again, all settings are normal.

im using sick beard with SABnzbd

Config->Switches: Ignore Samples

Ignore samples is Off

In that case the NZB file is probably really empty.
Can you intercept it?
One option is to set an NZB backup folder in Config->Folders.
It will create a compressed backup of each NZB.

it was working before i updated it from v0.7.7 to v0.7.9

i see a few other ppl are having issues too with the same thing.

it seems to be an issue with sick beard and SABnzbd upgrades.

The warning only comes when SABnzbd detects no files to download in the NZB.
If that's due to a problem within SABnzbd, then only an example NZB will be evidence
that I can use to examine the situation.
Also, does the problem go away when you go back to 0.7.7?

i have rollback to v0.7.5 and its now working, downloading the very same file

Do you have the actual NZB file?
If so, I would like to receive it on [email protected] (please add the URL of this message).

Looks like I'm having the same problem. I tried updating to 0.7.9 but still the same. I'm going to try to uninstall and re-install an earlier version. Here are the two files I just tried:

Uninstalled 0.7.9 > rebooted laptop > installed 0.7.5 > downloaded one the files that failed previously and all working ok now

I bet the issue is still gone when you upgrade again.

Same issue back again after downloading one file successfully. Going to try upgrading again.
