NZBs Added from SickBeard Fetching But Not Starting

Post by bzowk »

Hey Guys -

So my home server's OS installation got corrupted and had to re-install the OS. Prior to this, I backed up the SABnzbd settings (AppData/Local folder) as well as SickBeard folder. After re-install (Win7x64), I reinstalled SABnzbd & SickBeard then with each of them off, cpoied the old configs back to where they needed to be. Everything looks like it should work - but - it doesn't.

The Issue
When adding a NZB from SickBeard, it successfully submits it to SABnzbd. When looking at SABnzbd's dashboard / queue, I see it saying "Trying to fetch..." for a couple of seconds, but then nothing is ever added or starts downloading. Even though NZB is associated with SABnzbd, they do not start either.

Fixes I've Tried
- Verified that configs are correct in SickBeard and SABnzbd
- Verified I can connect to SABnzbd from SickBeard
- SABnzbd: Removed server (Giganews) and re-added it - Can connect successfully
- SABnzbd: Verified all paths are valid and correct
- Reinstalled SABnzbd on top of existing config
- Regenerated API Keys and set in apps properly
- Checked for log files - All seeemed empty that I found

Any ideas? Thanks!

Isn't downloading paused? The square block top right should be yellow, not red.
Are there arrows in front of the jobs? If not, click on the little squares.

Thanks - I should have mentioned that. The queue is not paused. Even if it was, it should still add the show title into the queue after tryiong to fetch - but - doesn't add anything. Tryig to Fetch disappears and leaves no trace.

Thanks for the comment - Any other ideas?

Any error messages?
Otherwise, set logging to "Debug" level on the Status page.
Then add a job and inspect the end of the log file.
It's clear that somehow the communication between SickBeard and SABnzbd isn't working,
in the sense that no valid data is transferred.

No - all logs I found - even when set to Debug - were empty for some reason. I went ahead last night and uninstalled, removed all traces from the profile, then re-installed and it worked again after configuration.

Thanks Guys
