Just setup sabnzbd and am having problems pulling nzb files from a local RSS feed. Ive checked with other people in the RSS feed and some are using sabnzbd successfully.

Here's the log:
2009-11-01 22:00:49,084::INFO::[sabnzbd.misc] Grabbing URL http://www.newshost.za.net/nzbdownload. ... xxxxxxxxxx

If I copy and paste the URL into a browser it download fine as a ZIP file.

Any ideas?

0.4.12 does not support getting ZIP files from an RSS feed.

You will have to wait for release 0.5.0, which will soon enter the Beta test phase.

Ahh - ok. That explains it.

Thanks for the info.

Hi all,

sorry for digging this old thread up, but did this got picked up?

Just asking since with current 0.5.4 getting ZIP compressed NZBs via RSS doesn't work (.nzb file in .zip not gzip compressed via HTTP or something). Same goes when pasting URL to "Add NZB" -> "URL".

I also did verfiy with wireshark that SABnzbd actually got the .zip file.

Putting the ZIP file to the watched folder workes fine, so I guess adding this feature was missed or I'm missing something

// Edit: Running v0.5.4-final zip distri on Win x64

From what I can see in the code, ZIP files are supported.

When I wanted to test the feature again, I found out that I cannot find
an NZB site that wants to send me a ZIP file.
Can you PM me an URL that retrieves a ZIP file?

In this situation, ZIPs don't work.
Fortunately I also found out why.
This will be fixed in the next 0.5.x release.

Thanks for reporting.

hi @shypike

I also seem to having a problem with RSS feeds
Error : Error getting url
Site: http://www.nzbsa.co.za
Sabnzbd version: latest 0.6x
OS: Windows 7 x64

The the site has all its NZB's zipped, apparently this is supported in the latest version but appears not to be working
please help

It's very likely that the RSS feed is simply not supported by SABnzbd
or that the links in feed are not usable for getting the actual NZB or ZIP file.
Without more info there's nothing else I can say about this.

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but I seem to be getting this error as well.

I'm using the latest version of sabnzbd

can I PM you my rss feed?

maybe a pre-que script with 7zip command line version?

@echo off
echo Newshost RSS fix
IF EXIST "*.zip" (
SET var="*.zip"
)
7za e "*.zip"
del /q "*.zip"

Define "the same error".

http://www.nzbsa.co.za did not have problems with ZIP files as such.
It does use a type of HTTP compression that confused SABnzbd.
This was fixed by not allowing HTTP compression when trying to download a ZIP file
(compressing a ZIP file is a futile exercise anyway).

Same error as OP. From same site...

This site requires a login to even access the RSS feed.
What kind of URL are you using?
Because one like this won't work:
http://nzbsa.co.za/rss.php?c=9

my url looks like this:

http://www.newshost.za.net/rss.php?id=1 ... exxx1fc87b

error im getting is:

2012-04-11 18:21:27,016 WARNING: Empty NZB file New.eBooks.04.April.2012-N.E.R.D.S.nzbdlzip!rss=1&id=13xxx&pass=a03306dxxxxxxxxxxx1fc87b.nzb

Probably they changed their interface again.
I'll see what I can do.

I disabled http-compression altogether for that site.
It will work now in the next 0.7.0 Beta (3).
