Pre processing trouble

I'm experimenting with the pre-processing / pre-queue scripting, according to
http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/user-pre-queue-script.
I've create a simple python script, just for testing purposes, the only thing it does is return '0' indicating sabnzbd should REFUSE the nzb.
I can see in sabnzbd's logging that it is actually called, and says it accepts the nzb, i dont know why, since i return 0 as in REFUSED?
Code: Select all
2012-08-10 14:59:15,592::INFO::[newsunpack:1417] Running pre-queue script ['/mnt/cache/Apps/sabnzbd/scripts/pre.py', 'Breaking.Bad.S05E02.Madrigal.HDTV.x264-FQM', '', 'tvseries', '', '-100', '330523175', 'alt.binaries.multimedia alt.binaries.teevee', '', '', '', '']

the script itself:
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
print "0"
sys.exit(0)
What am i missing here?

Does the script run from the command line?
If SABnzbd detects any problems it will accept the NZB anyway.
Set logging to "Debug" in order to get more info logged.

Yes, it runs from the command line. Debug logging is on, the logging in the first post is with debug logging.
I've also tried to let the script create a file on startup, just as 'proof' it has been executed. From the command line it works, from within sabnzb, it does not, even though the logging keeps showing the script has been executed.
I've also tried returning the extra 6 empty lines, so it totals the 7 lines. Did not help:
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
print "0"
print
print
print
print
print
print
sys.exit(0)

Do you see "Pre-Q refuses
name" or "Pre-Q accepts
name" in the log?
To exclude Python problems, try something simpler first:

As you can see in the logging in the first post, sab says 'Pre-Q accepts <file>'...
The python enviroment works, i've build an extensive postprocessing using python, which is working nicely with sab & sickbeard.
How do i use your (bash?) sample? Does it needs some special extension, because i can only select .py files in sabnzb's pre-queue dropdown box...
*edit* nevermind, got it, had to chmod it a bit
now it shows up in the dropdown.

The essential bit is that you've done a "chmod +x" on your script.
No extension needed, any name will do.
Reviewing the code, I see a missed opportunity for better logging...
That's Murphy for you: the app is littered with logging, except in that one place
where you happen to need it

I tested the bash thingy, this time it crashes:

That may mean that the path /bin/sh is not correct.
Check what it is on your system.

Will try to. I'm new at linux.
But the bash script does run from the command line...
*edit*
Code: Select all
root@Tower:/bin# ls -l sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2012-06-21 00:54 sh -> bash
looks ok to me?

Anyone who knows what i'm doing wrong here?
Any tips or ideas? I'm running Sab 0.7.2 on an unRAID v5.0 server.

Carriage returns maybe?
Run 'cat -vE pre.py' and look for '\r' in the output.

Checked again on two Linux platforms: no issues.
It might be something in the Python implementation.
BTW: do you also use post-processing scripts and do they work?

Nope...
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/env python^M$
import sys^M$
print "0"^M$
exit(0)^M$

Yep... wrote them myself as well.
