Hello,

I have a newly installed sabnzbd. I originally installed it from apt-get but since running into this problem, I tried running from source (all the way back to .5.3 through 0.5.6) and I get the same result.

When I send a report to sabnzbd from sabconnect++, I see the following in my queue (nzbid, userid and hash obviously X'd out):

index.php!action=getnzb&nzbid=XXXXXX&i=XXXXX&h=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I see the following in the logs (I have debug turned on):

The file never downloads even though the URL is correct (I can manually download the file). I also noticed a problem with the nzbs.org rss feed. If I put in a feed, I get the following error returned in the browser:

Incorrect parameter
Failed to retrieve RSS from http://nzbs.org/rss.php?catid=17&i=XXXX ... XXXXX&dl=1: :21 Entity 'nbsp' not defined

I have a feeling they are related but I can't put my finger on what the problem might be.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

"Entity 'nbsp' not defined"
There's either a non-breaking space in the specific NZB, or with the way you're sending stuff to nzbs.org.

Release 0.5.6 still works properly with nzbs.org.
(However the current 0.6.x code does not.)

There is an issue with nzbs.org and SABnzbd doesn't handle it nicely.
Some reports you get from an RSS feed turn out not to exist.
Instead of an NZB, nzbs.org sends back a web page.
SABnzbd fails to see that it isn't an NZB and sends it to the queue,
where it is successfully parsed, but results in an empty job.
In release 0.5.6 this will hang in the queue until you delete it and 0.6.0 will send it directly to history.
If only these sites could agree on some standardization

thanks for the reply guys. I was a bit dumbfounded since earlier in the day, I had my 0.5.5 install working fine from freenas and when  I switched over to ubuntu, it was broken. Looks like I'll stick to other providers.

Thanks again.

There isn't anything wrong with nzbs.org, it's only that they report errors in a peculiar way.
And SABnzbd doesn't handle this gracefully.
BTW: release 0.5.5 and 0.5.6 are no different in this area.
