Downloaded files not useable

Post by Annie James »

Hi there,
I have just started using SABnzbd and I have sucessfully started downloading files OK - but! the files downloaded don't make any sense. Instead of the media files I was expecting, the downloads are very many file types: PAR2 + R00 + R01 + R02 + RAR + SPV , plus others.
None of these are playable media files. I guess I have set something wrong.
I have checked several times but am unable to see where I have made an error.
Please advise and help me.
Thank you.
Regards.
Annie James.

When you add something to the queue, how do you do that? By uploading an NZB file?

When adding jobs, you have the option to switch Post processing options. These should be set to +Delete so that sabnzbd handles the whole process.
More information is on our wiki!
