I just installed SABnzbd and I think it's great. I seem to overlook something obvious, though.
My Watched Folder is not being emptied by SAB. Files have .nzb extensions, scanning interval is 5 secs, Watched Folder is spelled correctly, but nzb files are not being processed. Manual processing works great.
Browser is Firefox 3.5.7.
nzb files not picked up from blackhole folder

Install type python source
Skin default
Firewall ClearOS
IPV6 no
Reproducable: yes, every time.

Re: nzb files not picked up from blackhole folder
Where is the folder located.
Did you set an absolute path (staring with '/') or a relative one?
If the latter, what do you suppose the actual full path is?

Re: nzb files not picked up from blackhole folder
It is an absolute path on the client computer "C:\Documents and Settings\Roel\Mijn Documenten\Downloads\nzb\"
Re: nzb files not picked up from blackhole folder
Very strange. My Windows Explorer crashed, I had to kill it by Ctl-Alt-Del, restarted it and - voilà - the Watched Folder was picked up. The nzb files were not deleted, though, but that's a minor issue. So, every time I want to use SAB I have to kill en restart Windows Explorer first ?? Windows is full of surprises.
So, whether this has anything to do with SABnzbd after all, I just don't know.
Thanks for looking into the problem.
