Ok so the new beta just fudged around 500 movies

Post by Andri »

Okay, I just finished downloading 500 movies and for some reason the beta version froze when unpacking the movies and when I restarted sab the queue disappeared and I'm left with a unrepaired unrared mess. This is also the second time this happens. But what ever my mistake for using the beta.

So is there either anyway I can mass repair them and extract them? If not, how do I insert all my backup nzbs and redownload the files again with the old version of sab?

Love sabnzbd! But not the beta! :)

Too bad it happened.
Freezing of repairs or unrars isn't something we can avoid.
We're totally dependent on the par2 and unrar tools (and that of your memory).

It's always important to carefully close SABnzbd.
The best thing is to kill either the par2 or unrar process and never SABnzbd itself.
Release 0.4.12 was no different in this aspect.
As long as the queue admin is OK, SABnzbd will resume post processing after restarting.

Normally you don't have 500 jobs waiting in the postproc queue, unless one
of the first jobs hangs up of course.
If all the files are downloaded you'd best get QuickPar and have it verify/repair all jobs.
Writing a batch file to unrar everything would be a good idea.

Downloading again is a bit wasteful, but it is the easiest way.
At least if you used the NZB backup option.

quick par doesn't allow mass repair from what I've seen. I'd have to manually repair 500 files and that's time consuming as hell so I'd rather just re-download the whole thing.

Thanks for the quick replay.

Queue redesign is high on the list for the next major release.
We know it's a weak point currently...
