SABnzbd Forums

Last night I was adding a few new RSS entries and after adding one, all controls stopped responding and wouldn't save the changes.  Clicking on the checkbox and buttons like preview, save, etc do not do anything (Save button would normally change to Saving... then Saved but doesn't now).  This is happening on the latest new entry and the one right below it.

The only thing common between these 2 entries is they have a single quote ' in the feed name.  This wasn't a problem before but the 2nd entry I added many versions ago so perhaps now the feeds do not like single quotes in the name?

I had just upgraded to 0.54 so I tried reinstalling 0.53 but that didn't resolve the problem.

Any suggestions?

Version: 0.5.4 (0.5.3 as a test)
OS: OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard
Install-type: OS X .app
Skin (if applicable): Smpl
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? in as much as that I can't fix the problem to reproduce it.  

Ok.  I have fixed it.

I quit SABnabd then manually edited the sabnzbd.ini file in the ~/Library/Application Support/SABnabd/ directory removing the single quote from the [[feed name]] and name="feed name" entries for these 2 offending entries and started SABnabd up again.  Now I can edit the RSS entries properly.

I just searched and found another user/post with the same problem but on Windows and over a year old.  It seems this issue has been around for a while.

Perhaps a moderator can move this thread to the bug report section and we can get it fixed in a future release?

This problem only occurs with the "smpl" skin.
Classic and Plush handle this properly.
I'll notify the author.
