SABnzbd Forums

I have installed and reinstalled this on my NAS i have.

Version is 0.5.0

Everything works fine, i can manually upload the files to SABnzbd. But when i try and bookmark a file on newzbin i get the error below.


WARNING: Problem accessing Newzbin server, wait 1 min.

my username/password is correct, i've even changed it. but still dont get anything when i bookmark a file.

i use this for google/chrome on OSX

and everything is working fine




Also can't get SAB to send me an email after jobs are completed.

I get this error.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!!

Do you have proper SSL support installed?
OpenSSL libraries and PyOpenSSL.
Which version of Python are you using?

Just tried placing in ports 443 and 563 in on SAB, does the SSL check box need to be ticked?

I switched both numbers and restarted my server, nothing changed.

news.supernews.com:563: Failed to connect: (0, 'Error') 30@news.supernews.com:563
news.supernews.com:443: Failed to connect: (0, 'Error') 30@news.supernews.com:443

After i tried that nothing happened, It just went to a dead stop.

Changed the port back to 119 and unticked the SSL box and boom i had a connection again.

Any ideas?

Somehow your SSL setup isn't OK.
With that I mean the support in Python.

So i would have to change the config?

Do you know where that could be located in?

Which config?
That of Python?
For that you need to complain to the package maintainers of the NAS.
SABnzbd is written under the assumption that Python and its libraries and modules actually work.
It's impossible for us to give active support for all these embedded devices.

oh okay, who ever wrote this package for us said that the SAB was written in python...what version i am not sure.

i have a question, do i have to have SSL enabled for those features to work?

You don't need support for SSL as long as you don't
use SSL functions.
SSL in SABnzbd will not enhance the functionality, it will just use
encryption where appropriate.
One problem is that SABnzbd seems to think that you do have SSL.
If you installed PyOpenSSL, you may have to un-install it.
Otherwise SABnzbd will be trying https when accessing sites like newzbin and nzbmatrix
and when sending email.
