SABnzbd 0.7.6 won't load on OSX 10.5.8

[ira1200]

I was previously using SABnzbd 0.7.4 without problem. I had it running for a few months and functioning pretty well with Sickbeard.

But now I've upgraded to 0.7.6 and it won't seem to load. I can see in the menu bar that the SABnzbd tool just pops up quickly. So the program attempts to load, but won't stay on; it just closes. I don't see anything glaring in the log files, but to be honest I probably wouldn't know what to look for.

I tried re-installing, which didn't solve anything. And in fact 0.7.4 re-installed just crashes now, too.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is my Mac OS version just too old?

You are aware that we have three different builds in the DMG?
Did you pick the one on the left?
Are you using a PowerPC system?
It should work on that, but we cannot test it.

I've been installing the build intended for 10.5 and 10.6 (which is the one on the left). I have it installed on an Intel Core 2 Duo.

It's a strange issue since I can't even get the 0.7.4 version to run any longer. I tried removing the files in Application Support in case they were causing a problem, but that didn't seem to work either.

Try starting it like this:
Open a Terminal window (Applications->Utilities) and type:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console
Enter
Check for error messages.

That produced a bunch of information, and frankly a lot of reference to errors I don't understand.

The first one that shows up is:

Aha, trouble with your DNS.
Replace --console with --server 127.0.0.1:8080
and try again.
When it successfully starts like this, then stop SABnzbd
using the arrow icon in the top menu.
After that it should work normal.

[ira1200]

That worked!

Now to get Sickbeard to recognize the other changes I made.

Thanks so much!
