Watched folder

Post by Mountaingoat »

Have been using SABNZBD for two years. Seems all of a sudden last few days there are annoying little nuance issues creeping in. Latest is the watched folder is not being "watched". Place files in there but SABNZBD hasn't picked them up. Have been no changes or updates done since the last update.

Are there many non-NZB files in the folder?
One likely way to solve this is to stop SABnzbd and remove
the files watched_data.sab and watched_data2.sab from the admin folder.
The Config->Folders page tells you where to find the admin folder.

You can also upgrade to release 1.1.0, we have solved a bug in the watched directory,
but that involved files with invalid names (or rather invalid characters in names).
