Problem with Password File

Post by Firefrog »

Hi,
i createt da file with Notepad that contains one password,
saved it at: C:\sabnzb\Passwort.txt
at config/folder i put C:\sabnzb\Passwort.txt in it,
but sabnzbd just wont try the password from the file, i just get the error that the file is encrpyted.

I alreday tryed to create a file with Notepad++ it wont work either

It works just fine if i type the password direct into the file, but it would be nice if it could work automatic

Check your sabnzbd.log (Status -> Latest Warnings -> Show Logging) file for a line like this:

Code: Select all

2015-07-30 19:18:20,688::INFO::[newsunpack:497] Read 3 passwords from file /home/sander/geheime-wachtwoorden.txt
What does it say?

That comes before, since you told SABnzbd to pause encrypted downloads.
Setting a password in the password file will not prevent this pause.
You either have to set a specific password for the job (see details page, click on job title)
or you need to disable the pause-encrypted-downloads option in Config->Switches.

OK, so it stops/pauses? Do this: Unpause it.

The sequence seen in sabnzbd.log will then be like:

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log   | grep -i -e password -e "paused job"

2015-07-31 15:38:25,662::WARNING::[assembler:118] WARNING: Paused job "movie" because of encrypted RAR file
2015-07-31 15:47:11,712::INFO::[newsunpack:497] Read 1 passwords from file /home/sander/does-not-exist.txt
2015-07-31 15:47:11,712::DEBUG::[newsunpack:511] Trying unrar with password "halllllo"
2015-07-31 15:47:11,803::ERROR::[newsunpack:520] Unpacking failed, archive requires a password (blabla-more-bla.part01.rar)

That just worked fine, i overlocked the button.

Tanks a lot
