Opening NZB files leads to error

Post by theg2 »

Everytime I double click a NZB to load into sabnzbd, I get a warning in my logs and the NZB never makes it to the queue.

WARNING: Authentication missing, please enter username/password from Config->General into your 3rd party program:

I do have a password set for the web interface but should Windows Explorer (not IE) need to be specially configured? To be clear, this isn't a random log, only when double-clicking an NZB to be loaded into the queue.

You must be using some third-party add-on in your browser, which uses SABnzbd's API.
You need to tell it SABnzbd's API-key value.
Check your browser's add-ons.
