Impossible to launch 2.1.0 under macOS Sierra

Post by limonair »

Hello,

=== Informations ===
Version: 2.1.0
OS: macOS Sierra
Install-type: OSx .app
Is the issue reproducible? yes


I updated from 0.7.20 (!) to 2.1.0 and can't launch SABnzbd (color wheel spinning indefinitely).

I tried to launch the app under terminal and here is what I get :

Code: Select all

./SABnzbd 
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "threading.pyc", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner
  File "/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/SABnzbd . py", line 1886, in run

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 33: character maps to <undefined>

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "PyObjCTools/AppHelper.pyc", line 239, in runEventLoop
  File "sabnzbd/osxmenu.pyc", line 74, in awakeFromNib
  File "sabnzbd/osxmenu.pyc", line 106, in buildMenu
KeyboardInterrupt
You can see I interrupted the program with ctrl+c.

Any idea why it's not launching ?

Seems to be due to something that went wrong with your config.

What if you remove your sabnzbd.ini file and try to start it then? Location here: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/directory-setup
This will reset your settings, but it's worth a try to see if it starts.

Thanks, it helped starting the new version.
I just had to reconfigure the server and settings (took me 30 sec) !
