Downloads Twice

[CBers]

Hi.

Over the last week, I've had TV episodes download twice, even though SickBeard only (appears) to add them once.

I am running v0.7.14 of SabNzbD.

Any idea what could be causing this please, and what I could look for in the log(s).

TIA.

Usually it means that you're putting NZB files in the "watched folder" and also sending them in another way to SABnzbd.
The download report of a job (in History) will show you the source of the NZB file.
(It does mean you have to download both items.)

Thanks for responding shypike.

I'm sending NZBs direct to SABNZB and not putting them in a "watched folder".

Both entries have the source set to the NZB location, not a local location.

[shypike]

If the items are sent to SABnzbd by SickBeard through the API,
then it's SickBeard that sends them twice for some reason.
One work-around is to tell SABnzbd to ignore duplicate entries (Config->Switches).
(You must set an NZB backup folder in Config->Folders).

Thanks shypike, I'll give that a go.

What is the backup folder used for please, just storing .nzb files ?

Yes.

OK, duplicate nzbs are being ignored now., but I see them coming from both SickBeard and CouchPotato.

Could it be a SabNzbD issue?

TIA.

Still getting duplicate NZBs being ignored, this time from CouchPotato:

Code: Select all

Also seeing these errors in the SABNZBD log:

Should I post them elsewhere ??

[shypike]

SABnzbd cannot prevent CP from sending multiple NZBs.
The errors in the log show that the calling party doesn't use the authentication protocol properly.
I have no knowledge of this, CherryPy is a (fairly standard) web building block and it's usually right about things like this.

[CBers]

Just to close this off, as I have reinstalled SickBeard, sabnzbd and CouchPotato and I haven't had any further duplicate nzbs.

Thanks for your help.
