So configure it not to, config -> switches -> (advanced) -> recursive unpacking

You could probably automate the 'save nzb files for failed jobs' using a post-processing script : the environment variable SAB_ORIG_NZB_GZ points to the (backed-up?) nzb file and the job's result is obviously also available, which should make selecting for failed jobs and storing their nzb files ver...

Looks like the warning was designed to be persistent for a reason, see this issue on github. In short: sab itself can limit the chars, but some of the tools it calls (par2, unrar) don't have an option for that.

WARNING::[misc:96] /mnt/SABnzbd/Downloads is not writable with special character filenames. This can cause problems. This check and the resulting warning were added in a recent release; the warning may be new, the underlying issue isn't. In your setup, sab is installed on a unix-style operating sys...

Why not... https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/pull/3146

For starters, update to the latest sabnzbd release (4.5.3).

No hard feelings. As for guessit, if this scheme is indeed very common for anime (which I'm completely unfamiliar with myself), you could open an issue there and nicely ask them to add support for it.

Guessit is pretty accurate with anything that even remotely resembles "scene naming". The naming scheme for these jobs is just weird enough to throw a wrench into the works. If this particular scheme is common for anime, you could also opt for a pre-queue script to make a minor edit to the...

The nonstandard way of denoting the season/episode combo isn't helping: >>> import guessit >>> guessit.guessit("[SubsPlease] Kakkou no Iinazuke S2 - 10 (1080p) [6A7D01C9]") MatchesDict([('release_group', 'SubsPlease'), ('title', 'Kakkou no Iinazuke'), ('season', 2), ('episode_title', '10')...

LMDE6 is based on debian bookworm, which had issues with a recent update of openssl/libssl3 from 3.0.16 to 3.0.17; see https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issues/3122#issuecomment-3153907759 for details. Should be fixed in bookworm by the new openssl/libssl3 update to 3.0.17-1~deb12u2. (Noticed you a...

I don't think sabnzbd's sorting allows for modifying variables via regular expressions or similar. The sorting does however primarily source its info from the job name, that in turn can be modified from a pre-queue script (where you do have access to all kinds of scripting and regexp powers). Altern...

In contrast to third-party apps that gather information from outside sources and databases, sabnzbd is blissfully unaware of what the nzb it's downloading is supposed to be, beyond what limited info it can gather from the job title (itself based on the nzb file name) and nzb metadata (if present). A...

There's isn't much to say about the sabnzbd end with only that very limited piece of logging to go by. But that error comes directly from the OS in response to an attempts to create a directory, and given that your troubles started with moving the hard drives to a usb enclosure, that's where to star...

If the service tells you to edit its config file, that means it didn't find a username in the config. Note that there's no "s" in /etc/default, and also systemd requires that you to run sudo systemctl daemon-reload every time you edit the config or it keeps using a cached copy. As for the ...

Better hardware equals smoother operation, but once you get decent enough performance anything more might be good for bragging rights but won't make much of a practical difference. I wouldn't worry too much about destroying your hardware though: even for an entry-level consumer market SSD you´d have...
