SABnzbd Forums

I just migrated to a new server (Ubuntu VM, docker container) and have noticed something strange happening to my first few downloads. Everything seemingly works fine. Radarr/Sonarr get hits from Prowlarr, downloads start in sabnzbd, they finish, are re-named, moved to their destination, picked up by Plex, all as one would expect. Good to go.

However, when I look at Sabnzbd, I see warnings for these files that were downloaded: "Warning - Failed to import 1 files from nzbfilename.nzb"

I don't recall this ever happening before on my prior install. I copied/pasted the sabnzbd.ini file, so it's all the same config. And everything is working properly, functionality wise.

But how do I get this warning to go away? What is it even telling me? Why is it trying to import an nzb file? Is it trying to save it somewhere? It obviously got what it needed out of the .nzb file, because everything downloaded from it. I'm just not sure what it's telling me, and how to fix it.

Thank you

Inside the NZBs there are files defined, it's telling you that the definition of one of those files was incorrect so it couldn't import it.
This is a problem with the supplier of the NZB's, which made an error generating the NZB.
You can check in the logs what the exact error is.
I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to your changed setup, but the source of the NZB's. Or maybe Prowlarr does that.

Hmm, so Prowlarr would be the only change, as I used to just have Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr go out to the indexers on their own. Let me look into that a bit.

If my research leads me nowhere, and I don't want to switch off Prowlarr, does there happen to be way or setting somewhere to suppress that particular kind of warning so I at least don't have to look at it?

There's no way to disable it, since it's not a helpful warning but something is actually wrong.
I think your nzb contains files without articles. Maybe prowlarr adds those? In that case, probably good to open a bug report with them.
