[Solved] Setting Priority to paused does not seem to work

[cmg]

I have set one of my RSS feeds to priority paused but they are not getting added as paused. I do have the size limit pause on as well. Anyone else tried this and had it work/not work?

Do you have the paused priority at feed level or filter level?

[cmg]

It is at the feed level. at the filter level everything is set to default

Are you quite sure it doesn't work?
The priority in the queue will be shown as "Normal", it's only that it will be individually paused.

I just tested again. I moved the size limit up so this feed should add normally now (instead of TOO LARGE) and left the feed setting at paused. This was an upgraded setup for 0.5.6 and I did notice when I go into the filters for the feed that priority for my current filters says "Default" but up top where I can add a new filter is says "Paused" and if I add a new filter the filter says "Paused" instead of "Default"  Is there a log file somewhere I can post info from to give insight into what happens?

Do you have "paused" set at the feed level (as opposed to filter level) ?
There is a log file accessible in the Status page, but I don't think that will help much now.

Here is a link to screen shots of the setup

Sorry for repeating questions, but I cannot remember very thread and
I have no time to re-read all messages.

So far: you're right about the odd default values for new filters.
I'll change that to all "Default", that makes more sense.
However, this cannot cause the issue of not pausing.
In neither situation I can get it to go wrong, I get paused jobs every time.

It would be useful if you set logging to debugging and then let one
RSS job enter the queue. If that reproduces the problem,
you can send the (compressed!) log to bugs at sabnzbd.org

NP I know you guys are working hard to make a great product I figured it would be better to see it rather then me try to explain it. I will set the logs to debug and test when I get home tonight. One question. When you ran you tests did you also have the size_limit parameter set in the ini file? I have it set to 10.0G when I have run this test. Just wondering if there was some conflicting hierarchy of logic between the feed pause and the size limit pause.

The size_limit has no influence.
When it triggers, the job will be paused anyway.
When it doesn't, the priority "paused" will be detected.

Emailed compressed log file to you.

Thanks,

I am seeing the same thing, although I am not using the size limit pause. I have two feeds, both set to priority pause, and they are not getting added as paused.

I have set debug logging on and will capture the next incident and forward the log to the developers if there is still a question at that time.

I found the problem. It's an upgrade error.
In the sabnzbd.ini file, the priority for each filter is stored as an empty string instead of -100.
The RSS code fails to interpret the empty string as "Default".
The work-around is to click on the "Save" button of each filter.
Slowly, because each click will re-evaluate the feed content.

Will be properly fixed in the next Beta.

Thanks for your perseverance.

Nice I will test this when I get home on one of my feeds and let you know if it fixes it for me.

Saving the individual items seems to have fixed it. Thanks and keep up the good work
