Downloads no longer automatically unpacking

Post by la310859 »

Hello

Since downloading a new version from the sabnzbd website, my files no longer automatically unpack. They download fine, but previously all files would unpack and the saved files could then be viewed.

Can you suggest what might be the problem?

I use nzbmatrix.com and astraweb.

Which operating system?
All downloads or just some?
Is the setting for each NZB +Delete? (It should be).
Is unpacking enabled in Config->Switches.
What do you see when you click on a finished entry in History?

I have been having the same issue since I upgraded to the 0.7.0 release. Previously I was running a pretty old version (0.5.4). I have tried several different options under the Config-> Switches but was not able to find the combination that works. I am front-ending this with SickBeard and recently upgraded it also.

I answered your questions inline below for my setup.

Is unpacking enabled in Config->Switches. Which section? Under Post-Processing, I have all checked except for "Fail on yEnc CRC Errors" I also have it set to Ignore Samples
What do you see when you click on a finished entry in History? Same down to "Source" line but no Unpack/Repair lines like a download where I manually selected the +Delete option.

There's no such thing as "Processing" as default.
"Processing" is a column header, which can have the values "Download", "+Repair", "+Unpack", "+Delete".
"+Delete" is the default and most popular one.
Also check your categories in Config->Categories, because each category has it's own processing default.
If despite the all of the previous being correct you still get other values, I suspect SickBeard of sending the wrong value.

I'm not sure why all of my entries say "Processing" They just mirror the column header at the top of the row which says "Processing"

For some reason, Delete was not the default for me.

I went into Config->Categories and found the issue. The Default was set to "Download". I changed the Default to "+Delete" and now everything is automatically unpacking/Repairing/Deleting like it was previously.

Thanks.
