No PAR2 program found, repairs not possible

Post by chrishide87 »

Ok, I'm quite a beginner at all this, so apologies in advance if I seem stupid...

I've got a Synology DS211J and have installed SickBeard and SABnzbd.

I get the error message saying that "No PAR2 program found, repairs not possible"

I have ran the following:

Code: Select all

~ # ipkg install par2cmdline
Package par2cmdline (0.4-4) installed in root is up to date.
Nothing to be done
Successfully terminated.
So it appears that I have the correct package?

Can someone please help?

par2 should also be in the PATH that SABnzbd receives.
Can you start it from a ssh session?
Some packages that have an autostart facility for SABnzbd,
start it up with a limited PATH variable.
You might need to patch the startup script.

Thanks for the reply shypike :]
Where could I find the PATH that SABnzbd receives?
How would start it from an SSH session?
Where is the startup script stored?

Sorry for the multiple questions, as I said I'm just quite new to this, all help is greatly appreciated :]

Update your firmware to 3.2 if you have not already. Then go: http://www.mertymade.com/syno/#all
Install Base Utils, Compression Utils and Python Utils and finally Sab helper
Sab on Syno has become super simple with this new firmware update and the wonderful creations from Merty
