[FIXED] SABNZBD + SickBeard + NZBFinder | NZB Wait to Start

[cmivxx]

Long time user of SABNZBD & SickBeard since the original matrix days. Recently added in a donor account for NZBFinder. Any time SickBeard finds and starts to download an NZB from there, I get the "fetching..." message which is immediately followed by "WAIT XXX SEC | ..." which then counts down and subsequently starts over which puts it into a loop of constantly counting down without ever actually downloading anything. Am I doing something wrong? Is this against the TOS of NZBFinder? I just want the system to work and not piss off the indexer.

As a side note, if I manually download and add the NZB to SABNZBD, it works and downloads fine.

Any help would be appreciated as this has been driving me up a freaking wall for the past few days...

SABnzbd and NZBFinder are not compatible.
Each site uses its own idiosyncratic method to do rate limiting (if at all) and NZBFinder is no exception.
I'll see what I can do for the next release.
In the mean time, be careful: NZBFinder might ban you if SABnzbd hits too often.

Well, I know that they are not compatible directly, thus why I have Sickbeard and CouchPotato acting as the conduit... (forgot to mention SickBeard - will edit)

I figured that it had to do with the rate in which SickBeard was grabbing/adding the NZB's, but the fact that it's a default option in SickBeard's config to work with them, I figured they had this worked out. I'll have to play with it more and see if I can find the sweet spot.

I have a message into them directly as well... So we will see what comes of it.

Thanks for the help!

I fixed it. It was a problem with the API key being copied incorrectly. I'm an idiot.
