Getting Rid Of "Repairing" Movie That's Not Repairing

Post by ohicancer »

I am trying to delete a movie I downloaded--it's in the History section now & it says it is repairing but it's been in that state for over an hour with no progress. Something is definitely wrong but I can't see any way to stop or delete it. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Substantial repair can take a lot of time (many hours).
Assuming ypu're on Windows, check the Window Task Manager
and lookup the process "par2.exe".
Check whether it uses CPU time.
If you think it's doing nothing, then stop that process.
SABnzbd will think it failed to repair and log a failed job.
Try again.
If it never works properly, go to Config->Specials and disable "allow_64bit_tools" and "par2_multicore".

Thank you for your help. I stopped the process & it did exactly what you said would happen. Something in the download caused the problem. Thank you so much.
