SABnzbd Forums

I'm using sabnzbd with sickbeard and I am seeing an intermittent problem. There are plenty of times where my post processing works fine, but others where in sabnzbd it reflects, "Error-(1073741819)" and then it will state "Checking existing video" and point to a Movie or TV Show that has nothing to do with what has been downloaded. What is incredibly strange is that the script goes through fine without any error like this about 60% of the time. The remaining 40% reflect the error, but are processed just fine, they show up where they are supposed to, and aren't effecting any other files. Has anyone seen this or have an idea why I continue to get this mysetery error?

*Where* do you that error: the sabnzbd.log, in SAB's webgui, ... ?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I notice it intermittently in SAB's webgui.

Looks more like a message coming from SickBeard and/or the sabtosickbeard script.
The message is not something produced by SABnzbd itself.

Can you post a screendump when the error occurs?

Note the two line items at different times (top and bottom). One worked fine and the other didn't and yet post processing remained the same. The oddest part is this results in the error, but they both seem to be doing what they should be the same (i.e. fine).

I would say that is not SABnzbd, but a post-processing causing troubles. So if you disable the post-processing scripts, the problem is gone. Or, better: solve the problem in the post-processing script itself.

I thought of that too, but these are the same post processing scripts I used before upgrading to the latest sabnzbd. Seems strange that they worked before 100's of times, but now they intermittently don't. It is the intermittent part that really has me confused. Anyway, maybe I'll add some delays in the scripts and see if that might help with anything.

The script returns a random exit code.
SABnzbd will report any exit code the script produces.
If all goes well, it should be 0.

Check your script(s); the script must exit with value 0, otherwise SABnzbd will print the exit value. If it is intermittent, check strange route in your script of strange exit methods ...

EDIT:

PS: or just ignore the messages about the non-zero exit codes ... ;-)
