SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

Sabnzbd has downloaded a lot of yenc files but I didn't know that yenc module wasn't installed
I've just installed it. Can I extract/decode files without restarting the whole download from scratch (28GB) ?
Maybe a restart of the process and a copy of the files into incomplete directory ? or a command to force relaunch of decode processing on files ?

Thanks

If you don't have the separate yenc module (written in c) installed, sab will fall back to a built-in python implementation. While the latter may be less efficient and/or slower, the end result would be the same.

That's ok, but how to force a decode of files now that they have been downloaded without the decoder enabled ?

You cannot disable yenc decoding; even the most basic "download" only mode would still do the yenc decoding. Afaik, the only way to end up with articles rather than files is a broken download/nzb.

You did not download yEnc files, there is no such thing.
What you have are probably RAR or ZIP files, possibly badly named.
What are the actual filenames?

yEnc is the encoding protocol and the module is only needed to speed up SABnzbd.
Without the module the functionality is the same, but the speed is lower.
