password file incorrect ??

Post by pka4916 »

For some reason I am getting this

Failed to read the password file \\?\C:\Users\Me\‪C:\Users\Me\Documents\nzbpasswords.txt


In the config I have C:\Users\Me\Documents\nzbpasswords.txt

why is it doubling the folders and adding \\?\ in the front as well?

The extra \\?\ is just special Windows-path notation that you can ignore.
It is strange that it adds the extra path.
Can you maybe check the settings again and check what you have put for Password file?
Try setting it to just Documents\nzbpasswords.txt

it's working now.

I changed it to just nzbpasswords.txt and it works.
looking at the logs it makes it into C:\Users\Me\nzbpasswords.txt

really odd.. something changed in the inner works ?
