Cannot add nzb link from rss feed that opens fine in firefox or safari.

Post by speedkills »

I have an rss link http://www.nzbsrus.com/nzbdownload_rss.php/313644/// that will download correctly in firefox or safari but when I add it to SABnzbd it just sits in the cue, as if it can't find the file.  Am I doing something wrong?  I have a paid account to nzbsrus.com and in seems to work just fine in my browsers but I cannot get the site to return anything in either SickBeard or SABnzbd but if they are just using rss or http calls I do not know why the behavior would be different.  If I manually download the file and open it in SABnzbd it works fine.  Is it incapable or taking links in the format I am supplying?  Is there an error log I can access to find more information?

Oh yeah, I believe I am running up to date software everywhere.  OSX 10.6.3.  SABnzbd .5.2.

I just realized my post was incorrect, even SickBeard can successfully grab files from NZBsRus.com but when it sends them to SABnzbd they sit in the queue and are never downloaded.

More confusion, at least for me.  I tried to add the main rss feed from NABsRus for TV, feed://www.nzbsrus.com/rssfeed.php?cat=91&i=&h= and that works just fine, it was able to show me a list of shows, including the one I had tried to add explicity, but when I check on the show I had tried to add from SickBeard (as well as manually adding the URL, both of which failed) it just sits in the queue showing:

Trying to fetch NZB from http://www.nzbsrus.com/nzbdownload_rss.php/313662///

Anyone seen this behavior before?

Last update for the night and then I'm off to bed.  I'll check back tomorrow, just let me know if there is any information I can provide to help duplicate and fix this bug (or what appears to me to be a bug).  I thought manually adding the NZBsRus.com rss feed works but it only half works, the feed itself comes over, and using filters in SABnzbd I can have it try to auto download shows from the feed but just like any other method of trying to add the feed it fails to actually download the show and just sits in the queue.

Also, the SABnzbd log keeps stating that the urlgrabber has crashed:

2010-05-22 00:21:41,550::INFO::[__init__:751] Restarting crashed urlgrabber

I have pages of this error, it just keeps restarting and crashing from the looks of it.

There's a known problem in urlgrabber.
When it tries to create a retry link for the History page, it can crash.
The crash only occurs when an explicit post-processing value is set
(0=None, 1=+R, 1=+U, 2=+D).
Work-around: never pass an explicit PP value, just the your favorite value in Config->Switches.
Don't set it in the RSS definitions or let SickBeard send it.

Thanks for the help, I wasn't even close.  Never would have guessed that a setting for what to do after the file was successfully downloaded would be in any way related to whether or not it can grab the nzb. 

Currently I don't know that I have any post processing setup (+R, +U, +D).  I have the default in config > switches set to +D (it was the default I believe, should I change it to just download?) and in categories I have a post processing script set (sabToSickBeard.py) but I haven't touched the post processing settings anywhere.  I don't believe this is related to actually being sent from SickBeard as I have the same behavior when manually adding a URL.

If it helps I just followed the guide at http://www.ainer.org/?p=429 as it seemed to be the best directions on how to set this all up I could find but if there is a better guide I can start over from scratch.

I have to head out to work now but I did find that turning everything off eventually did the trick, I didn't realize it at first as it required me to restart sab for it to start working again.  Oddly, I never had post processing set by category or rss feed so it was either an issue with the script I had set for the tv category, or the default post processing of Delete set in config > switches.  I'll try to test it out more tomorrow and report back when I learn more about the behavior.
