Sab queue is frozen, cant delete queued item

Post by maderic »

I think this may be a common problem.. I've reviewed some of the posts, but I'm still having some problems.

I have one item stuck in my SAB queue, which i cannot delete, alter/anything! In the History tab it shows as constantly Verifying.. in the the regular view it just stays frozen.. I believe the issue may have resulted from a premature shutdown while unraring or paring this item? (thats just my guess).

Any way for me to delete this item? I cant use SAB now as all items are stuck queued after this troublesome one (and I cant force the download, re-queue the posts).

I saw that maybe I would need to delete cache or something?  I'm a bit of a newb... sorry, make that a MASSIVE newb, so any help would be good... that or I suppose I can uninstall and reinstall SAB.

Thanks guys.. you rock.

Simplest method.
Stop SABnzbd.
Find the file postproc1.sab in the "cache" folder (Look in Config->Folders where this folder is located).
Start SABnzbd.
You may consider upgrading to 0.6.0RC1, which has a more robust queue.
