SABnzbd Forums

Since upgrading to 0.6.0b3 (hooray - my queue was retained! Well, except for all the low priority stuff which vanished ) sending emails didn't work.

After reading through the code, I found that the SABnzbd+ was more fussy about names than in earlier versions: the previous 'standard.tmpl' that I was using had to be renamed 'email-en.tmpl' for it to work.

Might be worth updating the docs to reflect this, if only to save other people from having to dig through the code…

GAH! After running apt-get install --reinstall sabnzbdplus to get rid of my debugging code, it has NUKED. THE. WHOLE. QUEUE.

Which was about 400 items long.

I have the backups of the NZBs, of course, but simply dropping them into the watch folder adds them all in the Default category. Which is not useful, as they need to be either Movies or TV.

Is there a way of bulk-changing the categories on multiple NZBs, or do I really have to sit there going clicky-mouse on all 400-odd items?

Use the Plush skin and enable "Multi-operations".
Down arrow on the right hand side of the Queue header.

BTW: you should have 400 items in your orphans list.
See Status page, tab Queue Repair.

Thanks! That's going to save some time.

I did notice the queue repair page after I'd already re-added all the NZBs, so I left it alone — wasn't sure whether it was possible to repair after I'd already re-added everything. Still, useful if anything goes wrong again...

Wish I'd noticed the multi-operations option before I'd done about a third of the queue by hand

(Incidentally, it might be an idea to change the "Apply to Selected" button on click so that it looks like it's been pushed — the only indication something's happening is that the browser status bar now says it's loading items… also, on Safari, the active area only appears to be about the right-hand third of the button!)

0.6.0 keeps all job admin along with the download folder of an NZB.
The queue file in the "admin" folder is nothing more than an index to the jobs.
This way there is much less chance of actually losing your queue.

I'm not sure if the package does odd things with the ~/.sabnzbd folder.
The team doesn't create these.

Only handles files that belong to the package, i.e. the program files stored in /usr, and init script + config in /etc. Everything else is left untouched, including sabnzbd.ini, user home directories, or any files that may have been downloaded.

Looks like a queue repair would have been the simple way to get everything back. At least I'm prepared if it happens again.

Thanks, all...
