Path too long error

Post by kevindd992002 »

I got this in my email notification:

[removed]
Sanitize logs/screenshots before posting.


Now how do I increase the total path length allowable?

You cannot.
The only thing you can do is to let SABnzbd trim down the path elements.
Set the option "folder_max_length" in Config->Special to something like 32.

Thanks. In this case, what if I already removed the job from SAB interface and then I modified the path so that it shortens, is it possible to re-add the job to SAB and let it extract it by itself so that it notifies my CP interface that it successfully finished?

If you renamed the folder in "incomplete", go to Status->QueueRepair.
From there you should be able to add the lost job back to the queue.
