Incorrect parameter RSS Feed

[Nick123]

Hi Guys, I have an RSS feed setup within NZBMatrix for bookmarked NZB's however when I enter the RSS feed into Sabnzbd I get the following error.

Incorrect parameter

Failed to retrieve RSS from http://nzbmatrix.com/rss-bookmarks.php? ... apikey=xxx:

Any idea as to the problem

Thanks

Have you tried the exact same URL in the browser address bar?

[Nick123]

Hi, Sabnzbd seem to add an : to the end of the feed url, without that it works fine in browser.

The semicolon is part of the error message, not the URL.
I can read my nzbmatrix bookmark feed without any problem.

Does it fail consistently or just occasionally?

[Nick123]

Fails consistently, I've also attempted to use nzbdstatus plugin to download straight to SABnzb however that results in "» URL Fetching failed; Failed to add url, Try again" error altho the URL in browser works fine...  I've double checked the API Key which is fine...

Figured it out my firewall was blocking sabnzbd from accessing the port 80,443...

Thanks for your help.

[shypike]

Yeah, what a great invention these "intelligent" firewalls.
I assume, it didn't bother to notify you it was blocking SABnzbd?

[Nick123]

Yea there was no notification It was only once I checked the logs that I noticed it blocking the connection...

It might be worth while puting in faq that ports 80, 443 need to be allowed access...

The info was there, but I improved and reorganized it a bit.
The FAQ now refers to: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/firewalls-and-virus-scanners
