Hi,

I have a problem with the latest version of SABNzbd concerning the extracting. The problem does not occur with all downloads (hard to reproduce) but even though the download has been completed successfully (no missing articles), SABNzbd fails to extract it. It just indicates as "failed" without further remarks of comments...
I can extract it via the command line using unrar without problems.

Any suggestions ? I didn't seem to be having the same problem with previous versions of SABNzbd
I'm using python 2.5 at the moment

Regards

You'll need to set logging level to "Debug"
and examine the logs right after such a problem occurs.
Look for the unrar command end check for error messages in its vicinity.

Thanks,

Here are the logs (I've replaced names and paths)

In my opinion, it is probably the [newsunpack:952] [] that makes it fail..
Or was it a faulty NZB ?

The tell-tale line is 948: "Main packet not found".
This is based on output coming from the par2 program.
It means that the par2 program cannot find usable info in the par2 file it was offered by SABnzbd.
The next line means that no extra par2 files are available.

Can you email the uncensored logging and the NZB file to bugs at sabnzbd.org ?
(please add the URL of this message).

Done

The upload sucks.
The par2 files are simply useless.
You were just lucky that all RAR segments downloaded without errors,
otherwise unrar would have stopped on a CRC error.

The only thing I can do is improve the error message (because currently there is none).

This is the output of a par2.exe run from a command prompt:

Oke, thank you very much for the quick debugging !

Regards

I was just thinking (I have totally no clue whether this is possible or not with NZB downloads).. maybe you can add one phase after a failed PAR2 verification to use the SFV (in available) to verify the correctness of the files. If this latter succeeds, you can proceed with the extraction or am I missing something here ?

SFV checking is already an option and will be used if no par2 files are available at all.
I'm not going to spend a lot of effort to handle very exceptional cases like this.

Oke, thanks for the help already
