error message SB: SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xee'

[ldetata]

i have tried to find an answer myself but with no luck...i can download files but when it comes to post processing to the correct file through sb i get the following error message

File "/Users/MYNAME/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/scripts/sabToSickBeard.py", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xee' in file /Users/MYNAME/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/scripts/sabToSickBeard.py on line 2, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details




then i end up with the file but not sorted correctle into its proper file...please any help would be appreciated as i have been going for 2.5 days on this set up

Non-ASCII character '\xee' in file /Users/MYNAME/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/scripts/sabToSickBeard.py on line 2

So, that's the problem I would say. I had a look at a stock version of sabToSickBeard.py, and its line 2 is empty. So something must be wrong with your sabToSickBeard.py. Did you edit/open it in any way?

[ldetata]

I definately didn't edit it

Perhaps opened it though. How can I fix?

[ldetata]

i think where i am going wrong is i need to know what folder should i be directing the post processing scripts too on sabnzbd?

or do i leave that blank and sick beard will take the file from my downloads complete folder?

[sander]

Is that a question about Sickbeard? If so: I know nothing about Sickbeard. Probably to start a separate thread if you have solved the error message in the subject.

[ldetata]

no i was correct in the first place the error i keep getting is

File "/Users/my name/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/scripts/sabToSickBeard.py", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xff' in file /Users/myname/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/scripts/sabToSickBeard.py on line 2, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details


what can i do??

[sander]

I would do this:

Code: Select all

hd "/Users/my name/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/scripts/sabToSickBeard.py" | head -20

and post the output here

[ldetata]

actually all i did was used terminal to find the route then deleted the '\' and copied and pasted that into sab and now i dont get any scrip errors

but the files arent automatically post processing sb end..so i will ask that question on the sb forum..

thanks sander your message actually triggered me to try that

4 days of pain almost over
