Hi Guys,

I've got a problem in SABNZBD that stops post processing of my music category files. for the record prior to December 2012 I never had this issue and to be honest I've left it more and more and just hoped that it would go away with a new version. I'm not aware of anything that I have changed which would impact this but never say never =]

Basically, post processing of this category fails with the error: "» PostProcessing was aborted (Cannot create final folder /volume1/music/SOME_MUSIC_DIRECTORY)".

All other categories that use different directories on "volume1" all work fine, the music category is the only category that uses the music folder.

I have been scouring the web for the last few weeks and trying several things to resolve this but I'm now at a loss. My system is a Synology NAS DS413j running DSM version 4.1 (a Linux GUI for synology customers)
I am a complete linux newb but have used some basic SSH commands already for viewing running processes etc. Therefore if i need to check anything using SSH would you mind also providing newb guidelines =] (sorry)

Thanks very much for your help and keep up the fantastic work for SABNZBD! (P.s. If you fix the problem I promise to donate some money as its super awesome )

So ... what happens when you Category 'music' save to /volume1/music-new/ ?

Hi there, when I upload an nzb to SABNZBD and select music as the category the file is correctly download and as soon as the post processing starts I get the following error:


My category for music is set up as follows:



No new directory for this music is created in "/volume1/music" it only remains fully downloaded but unprocessed in the Temporary Download Folder which is set to: "/volume1/NAS/Data/incomplete"

Thanks,
Pete

Did you understand my post? Maybe it was not clear?

Ahh now I understand,

Yes /volume1/music-new will NOT be created either (sorry for the mix up)

So ... problem solved with this work-around?

(You can really solve the /volume1/music/ problem, but it involves ssh and linux-rights. The above method is easier, as you will notice )

Oh, you've edited to "NOT"? What happens with the download?

Hey Sander,

The download completes perfectly as expected and the new file is collected ok.

Does anyone else have any ideas? =[

I'm confused; you said "The download completes perfectly as expected and the new file is collected ok." ... so I understood the problem was solved?

Aha, sorry for the confusion. I only meant that the download completes perfectly when i use another directory other than "/volume1/music" for the "music" category.

Unfortunately I really want to use the "/volume1/music" as I have other devices that link to this to play music from and it is easier to manage the music all in one place.

Thanks Sander,
Pete

So: " /volume1/music-new" works?

If so: you have to set the correct user/owner and richts on the directory "/volume1/music/" . It is system dependent how to do that: it probably can be done via SSH and chmod/chown, and possibly via the GUI of your NAS. You will probably get more details in a forum dedicated to Synology (not in a SABnzbd forum)

HTH

Ok Sander, many thanks for your excellent advice I understand now and will look to check / modify these permissions. Can I PM you for guidelines to do this through SSH? (as I'd like to learn more on this anyway). Perhaps you are on mIRC instead?

Sorry, but no; I don't do PM. And I haven't got a Synology. There must be advice on the Internet how to use SSH or the GUI.
