SABnzbd Forums

Hi All

Sorry I am sure this is simple and I am being thick. I am moving from NZBGet to SabNZBD and having some issues.

I setup Sab using Docker (linuxserver/sabnzbd) latest tag the version of SAB is 2.3.9 [03c10dc].

I get my files via NZBHydra, I copied the setup from nzbget by using the option "Use original category"

However everything I add is set to default, in Categories page I have tried the following (taken from my working nzbget)
none of these work when sending the nzbfile - send the same file to nzbget and it gets set to the correct category!

Any ideas where I can look to see why this is failing? Sorry trying to get my head around Sab as I have used nzbget for years.

Thanks

So these values are what you have set for Indexer Categories in the Config > Categories page?
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/configuration/2.3/categories

What we can try is see what Hydra is sending. So enable +Debug logging, then add an NZB again and then check the logs by clicking Show Logging.
It will say what categories were recieved and how they were processed.
It also includes at the end of the log a copy of your settings, so you could share your categories settings.

Hi safihre

Thanks for the advice, they are the Categories I set in Config > Categories page.

I enabled debug and looked at the log I did a search for category
It looks like it's sending a blank Category over - same file works fine in NZBGet - it went to TV so I think it must be something with hydra then.

Thanks anyway.

As the documentation describes, there are multiple ways to submit the category.
Hydra can also do it through the API-call. The line you show is what we can parse from the NZB file itself.
There was no other mention of category in the logs? Because there should be.
