Howdy,

Is anyone able to use the Read All Feeds Now menu option successfully? When I try to use it, I can see in the error log this:

[redacted, read the rules]

Any idea what gives? Same thing seemed to be happening using the normal scheduler, so I had to set specific events to read the feeds.

Thanks

Chris

Works fine when I test it, with the same URLs even.
It could be a temporary problem with nzbindex.nl.
I'd have to know more details, such as a "debug" level log file.
(Accessible from the Status menu.)
BTW: don't post log files here, email them to bugs at sabnzbd.org

No, it's very reliably doing this, nothing about the remote site. I'll go for a bug report then.

BTW: which version of SABnzbd do you use and on which OS?

I am using v0.6.9 on CentOS and I seem to be having this same problem.

If I let the defined interval elapse, sabnzbd reliably and automatically starts pulling new downloads. If I go into the individual RSS feed and Force Download it immediately starts pulling down any new items. However, if I click the Read All Feeds Now menu option off the Downloads page nothing happens.

Not sure that it matters but for sake of thoroughness note that the feed is a Bookmarks feed, and the feed is empty unless something needs to be downloaded.

While doing a tail -f on sabnzbd.log I see that when clicking the menu option it starts the scheduled RSS read-out, runs through the feeds, hits a feed that has a new item available and gives:
But that's it within the segment of log entries related to the RSS check. The next log entry is it running feedparser on the next feed in sequence.

Through various other parts of the log I see: Not sure if that's relevant but I saw it mentioned in another thread that seems to be about a similar problem, but for a much older version (http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php ... 7&start=15)

It would certainly be easier to use this feature instead of waiting or going into each feed manually to force a download, but obviously it's not the end of the world either.

That being said I'd love to get a handle on this and get it resolved. If there are any suggestions or more diagnostic info that I can provide please let me know!

It would help if you email the URL of the feed(s) to bugs at sabnzbd.org
There's likely to be some incompatibility with one of the feeds, causing SABnzbd to misbehave.

Sounds good, will do that now.

There's nothing special about the RSS feeds and they should work without issues.
Obviously the Scheduler shouldn't crash.
However it's a rather complicated third-party module and we added a watchdog for a reason.
Reading your posts again, I'm wondering what exactly goes wrong for you.
You say "Read All Feeds" doesn't do anything.
But did you enable the feeds to run automatically.
"Read All Feeds" actually means "Read All Enabled Feeds", so the ones that would run automatically otherwise.

Puzzling, right?

If I let the automation roll the feeds work - I have the interval set to 15min.

If I go into the Filter tab of a feed and click Force Download it works immediately.

However, if I use the Read All Feeds Now menu option from the Downloads interface no downloads occur.

Before I made my initial post in this thread I set the interval to 500. Then queued something up in the feed. When using the menu option (several times) and waiting for over an hour there was still no download.

Then clicking Force Download started it immediately.

Queuing up qnother item and setting the interval back to 15min put things back to normal and automation resumed.

When you manually read the feed content, the same new content will not
be downloaded by the automatic scan.
The assumption is that you were testing your filters.
You can choose to click "Force Download".
After that the automatic scan will pick (or should) any subsequent new items.

Hmm, I'm not sure we're on the same page or perhaps I'm just not following you.

The automated aspect works just fine. It's when I manually click Read All Feeds Now that I'm not getting the expected results. Perhaps my expectations are wrong and that's the root of my problem?

I'm expecting that when I click Read All Feeds Now from the drop down menu in the Downloads interface, sabnzbd will check the feeds, identify any new items, and immediately start the download - as if I were to go into each individual feed and click Force Download.

Is that how it should be working?

Yes, "Read all feeds" is a premature automatic scan.
But only for those feeds that are enabled for automatic scan.
So they should have their checkbox ticked.

Yes the Enabled checkbox is ticked and it works automatically, any further information I can provide to try to identify the root of the problem?

It's not got something to do with Scheduling, has it? I've noticed that if the Scheduler has paused the system then the Read all Feeds doesn't work, until the pause has been removed.

I have no schedules defined in the config, and the Queue/Downloads page isn't paused.

If there are any other places to look more deeply let me know and I'll be happy to check.
