Trying to receive nzb from omgwtfnzb api

[dnmm]

Hey guys,

i installed sickbeard the very first time and i am just a little familiar with sabnzbd. Also i´ve subscribed for omgwtfnzb to have an auto feed for sickbeard.
During the setup i filled my omgwtf api key into the sickbeard system, so i don´t think i missed a thing.

Today i should had have my first automatic download, but when i am opening the interface of sabnzbd i am just getting a message like (translated from german):

Waiting 34 seconds / trying to get NZB from https://api.omgwtf....

What does that mean exactly? Where is the mistake in the setup?

https://omgwtfnzbs.org/ and https://api.omgwtfnzbs.org/ have incorrect server SSL certificates. If you use Chrome to visit that URL, Chrome will tell you: "Your connection is not private" ... "NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID" ... ah, their certificate expired.

SSL Certificate is expired.
The certificate was valid from 10/04/2014 through 10/04/2015.

See https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker. ... tfnzbs.org and https://www.digicert.com/help/

So: problem on their side / site.

Starting with Python 2.7.9, python does not accept that (default behaviour).

There are a few workarounds. SAB 0.8.0 will handle these problems gracefully. On what hardware/OS do you run your SABnzbd?

You're not the only one who's having issues with OMG and their cert. For example, it was discussed on reddit a few days ago:

ah thank god i thought it is just a newbie setup failure

I´ve installed sabnzbd on my raspberry with raspbian pi as OS on it.

But to be honest, i do not understand the issue behind it yet? Is it something on OMG side? and do i just have to wait for a fix?

Or where do i have to fix it myself? Within sabnzbd?

Thanks for your help guys

Copy from another post of me:

Workarounds:
0) Use a HTTP (not HTTPS) indexer
or
1) Downgrade the python version on your device running SABnzbd to an older version: lower than python 2.7.9
or
2) Use SAB 0.8.0 Beta1, as it implements a workaround.
or
3) If all of the above fails, there is manual patch possible on sabnzbd 0.7.20 on your device running SABnzbd. Only advisable / possible if you know things like ssh / nano / vi / wget.


As you use Raspbian: do you use the SABnzbd PPA?

0) Use a HTTP (not HTTPS) indexer
you mean something else than OMG?


1) Downgrade the python version on your device running SABnzbd to an older version: lower than python 2.7.9
how do i do that in linux language (i am still new but understanding already a little, unfortunately not everything yet)


2) Use SAB 0.8.0 Beta1, as it implements a workaround.
where do i get it and can i just install it over the existing one?

3) If all of the above fails, there is manual patch possible on sabnzbd 0.7.20 on your device running SABnzbd. Only advisable / possible if you know things like ssh / nano / vi / wget.
i already changed things in files with sudo nano commands, so thats not really new to me. where do i get the manual patch infos?

What step would you recommend first? I´d like to stick with OMG because i just purchased the vip a few days ago and its my first experience with an indexer so far

Most important question: do you use the SABnzbd PPA?

[dnmm]

oh sorry, missed to answer that.

when you can explain me in a short way what ppa means? i just followed a guide in a raspberry board to install sabnzbd

A Personal Package Archive (PPA) is a special software repository for uploading source packages to be built and published as an APT repository by Launchpad.

Which guide did you follow?

[dnmm]

it was a german one. but i´ve never heard of that ppa stuff before.

can i still install it afterwards?

[sander]

Yes, you can install PPA afterwards. See instructions on this forum and the SAB site. Please note: if those instructions are not clear to you, I'm reluctant to explain it. Reason: your SABnzbd is setup correctly, but someone else has a problem. So ... solve their problems ... ?

Easy check if you use the SABnzbd PPA:

Code: Select all

$ grep -irn jcfp /etc/apt/
/etc/apt/sources.list:4:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ppa/ubuntu precise main

[dnmm]

Ok ich checked your commands but i dont have PPA installed. Also i searched the forum but i couldnt find a guide for that even in the raspberry guide how to install sabnzbd there is no phrase regarding this. Do you may have direct link for me? would really appreciate it.

thanks so much for your help

So, i have now ppa in my system as recommended.

Which step would you know recommend to fix my bug?

Stop sabnzbd (if it's running).

Code: Select all

sudo service sabnzbdplus stop

Then run:

Code: Select all

sabnzbdplus --version

What does it say? It should be "sabnzbdplus-0.8.0Beta1". If not, do this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update

and then again

Code: Select all

sabnzbdplus --version
