Problems adding nzb's from RSS feed

Hi,

Starting today SABnzbd seems to have trouble adding nzb's from my nzbs.org rss feed.
The weird thing is I use two, and one works, and the other doesn't.

It seems to be that something changes the "&" in the links in "&" which causes the problems,
because before, when it still worked, the links didn't have any "&" in it.

Adding through "Add NZB" on the frontpage using the same link does still work.

I've already deleted the cache, admin and log folders and upgraded to 0.6.4 to no avail.

Here's a piece of the log file where it goes wrong:

Code: Select all

I've replaced the authentication string with X's.

EDIT:

I've looked further into it. I've check four different feeds from nzbs.org, three work, and only this one doesn't. So it might be a nzbs.org problem instead of a SABnzbd problem...

Which operating system are you using?

I have tested on Ubuntu, Windows and OSX with this URL and it works fine:
http://nzbs.org/rss.php?catid=9&i=YYYYY&h=XXXXXXXXXX&dl=1

What's your feed URL?

A rigorous cure is to stop SABnzbd, remove this file and restart:
c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\admin\rss_data.sab

Side-effect is that all your feeds will look as if they are newly defined.
So watch out for duplicates and *-red entries.

I'm using Windows Vista and the rss feed that's not working correctly is:

http://nzbs.org/rss.php?catid=14&num=10 ... XXXXXXXXXX

The feeds with type=1, catid=1 and catid=22 are working fine though.

I've also tried deleting that .sab file and tried to download something using the "Force Download" button, but same problem.

Your feed URL works OK with my i and h values.
I don't have Vista, but on Windows 7 and XP it works OK,
so Vista cannot be a factor.

What does type=1 mean?

Weird. Than I don't know what's going on. Type=1 is the regular TV RSS feed.

Problem seems to be fixed. Don't ask me why or how. This topic can be closed.
