SABnzbd Forums

Hi

Sabnzbd has a reproducible problem with german umlauts in the NZB backup folder.
The german special characters like ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü ß turns into garbage like ü ö ä Ãig Ã

ae oe ue Ae Oe Ue ss would be correct

It would be great if you could fix this bug.

SABnzbd has no problem with that.

Maybe your filesystem or your operating system has a problem with that.

Proof:
when I download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sande ... s-10MB.nzb with SAB, the result is:

german-umlauts-10MB/Größenmaßstäbe.bin

... with Umlaut and Ringel-S!

No he's talking about the NZB backup folder, not the download.
What OS are you on? Are you using SABnzbd 3.7.1?
Maybe you can share one of these NZB's?

I use SABnzbd 3.7.1 on Ubuntu Linux 22.04.1

an example: with rss i download Das.Letzte,.was.du.hörst.(Gekürzt) and in the NZB backup folder is saved Das.Letzte,.was.du.hörst.(Gekürzt).nzb.gz

I am only concerned with the name of the nzb not the file itself.

So ... there is an umlaut in the NZB filename, which you fetch via HTTP/HTTPS? Yes, that could be tricky: is UTF-8 or other encoding allowed in URLs?

I tried with the URL

https://www.appelboor.com/dump/你好世界.nzb

(which seems alo to be https://www.appelboor.com/dump/%e4%bd%a ... %95%8c.nzb )

and the download works. Plus: it goes well in my backup directory
So fine with SAB itself. But non-ASCII in URLs can be tricky, so what does your sabnzbd.log say?

EDIT:

Especially for you:

https://www.appelboor.com/dump/Das.Letz ... kürzt).nzb
https://www.appelboor.com/dump/Das.Letz ... bcrzt).nzb

with nice result in backup dir:
