SABnzbd Forums

Sometime a few days ago I tried to download an episode of something (we'll call that "TV Show A") and the .mkv file was missing, so the unpack generated an error. Makes sense.

Since then, I get the same error on everything I try to download: "Unpacking failed, an expected file was not unpacked." For instance, if I try to download Movie X the unpack fails, and I click on the download the "expected file" that was not downloaded is the same .mkv of TV Show A that I tried to download last weekend, which has nothing to do with Movie X. The current download appears to unpack correctly, but because it's generating an error by not finding a file that shouldn't be there in the first place it never gets to the post-processing stage.

Is there some way to reset the list of expected files? In other words... how do I get sabnzbd to accept its failure and move on?

Wild guess: Queue Repair? And handle Orphaned Jobs?

Based on two test downloads repairing the queue seems to have worked. I'd never stumbled across that option before and it didn't pop up in any of my searches on this error.

Many thanks Sander.
