How to rescan download_dir (incomplete)

Post by CoAX »

Hello everyone,

I came back today after a week off and found my computer rebooted. A lot of downloads had happened but sab does not show them. In other words my download_dir (incomplete) is full of directories, themselves full of great RAR files but the downloads themselves do not show in the sabnzbd UI either as live downloads or completed/failed downloads.
Is there a way to force sabnzbd to trigger a scan of that dir and go on with its PAR repair, RAR extract and post-processing?

The manual alternative is daunting :)


Thanks!

Go to SABnzbd's Status page, tab "Queue Repair".
From there you can do a full queue repair or send individual lost items back to the queue.

This is very cool. Thank you so much for taking the time to enlighten me.
I did not find a "bulk" method for this page so I'll have to click on there a few times (30-40) but it is a great discovery nonetheless.

The "Bulk" method is the "Repair" button.

Fantastic. Sorry didn't get this at first. Thank you so much! Somewhere my downloader is getting really busy.
