SABnzbd Forums

My first time in these forums, so I wanted to thank you guys for the incredible application. It runs so well that I've never had to visit these forums before.

Since updating to 10.7.1 last week I haven't been able to use SABnzbd for sorting. I've used it in combination with SickBeard without a hitch for nearly a year.

I use it with an external hard drive which mounts under /Volumes/Media. Television episodes used to download and sort to /Volumes/Media/TV.

But since updating I get errors like these:
In the Config > Folders page, when I enter the path to my "Completed Download Folder" episodes (with or without the trailing slash), I get the following error:
If I examine the Finder and open up /Volumes, I notice that a "Media" folder has now been created in there. I delete the folder and try again. Same thing.

Seems this is could be an issue with Python in general under 10.7.1, as I have similar issues when trying to implement post-processing under Sick Beard instead of SABnzbd

Here are my details:
Version: 0.6.9
OS: OS X 10.7.1
Install-type: OS X .app
Skin (if applicable): Default
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? (yes/no)

Is the external drive actually mounted?
And is it mounted to /Volumes/Media or did OSX give it another name?
The most recent versions of SABnzbd refuse to create new folders in /Volumes.
This is to prevent trouble with temporarily unmounted external disks.

Yes. It is definitely mounted. If I browse the Voumes folder using finder or terminal I end up seeing. Folder names "media" and my drive named "media". I also tried shutting down sabnzbd and playing a video from the drive while it restarts to make sure there was no sorcery unmounting the drive.

Check /Volumes/media vs. /Volumes/Media
I don't quite understand what you say here:

I end up seeing. Folder names "media" and my drive named "media"

How your drive is called doesn't matter, what matters is that which is visible under /Volumes/media is actually your external drive.
There is no "and" here.

Unfortunately in my case it appeared there was an AND case. Take a look at the following screen shot of my Finder window:

Problem SOLVED for now: I examined the mounts with hdutil and found that I my external was actually mounted under "Media 1". Trying to use that still would not work however, because the "Media" folder was still present under Volumes.

I deleted the folder and remounted the external drive. Made sure it was mounted under "Media" and things are working normally again.
