Textedit files in Complete folder

[mle1973]

Hi. I'm new to SABnzbd and not experienced with NZB.

Using SAB on Mac OSX to download NZB files from EasyNews. Set up was fine and download runs smoothly however when it's finished I just have a series of TextEdit files in the "Complete" folder and nothing that looks like an .mkv or other media file.
Feels like I've missed a step in the process. Any help is appreciated!

Sample: '0FY6D5MnO76w60RtlujIySYcZV0GRjPMZ4bqNiBr' yEnc (1+137)

[mle1973]

Read several posts on obfuscated files. I can't see a file with .01 file extension however there is always one file that is much smaller than the others. When I open the txt file the expected file name is there in amongst scrambled text.
Have downloaded a couple of files successfully so not sure if it's my settings or something configured by the original poster. Have had this issue with files from different posters.

Using MacOS High Sierra and SABnzbd 2.3.9.

can you share the NZB?

0FY6D5MnO76w60RtlujIySYcZV0GRjPMZ4bqNiBr is just one file.

Here's how the file looks in EN:

Here's a copy of the NZB file contents. Sorry, I know there's probably a more efficient way to share it.

"Vb8e8bete9aMgLgGLIxIp8p0GhNZmePASfLjZccC" yEnc (1/43) (The.Crown.S01E05.1080p.WEBRip.X264-DEFLATE.mkv AutoUnRAR) [header] [thumb] English English 3.4 GB alt.binaries.multimedia 01-15-2019 08:28:36 Jane <[email protected]>

Trying to post the text of the NZB but as a new user I can't post links.

[sander]

Can you post the contents of the NZB to pastebin, and share the pastebin code here?

[mle1973]

Hi

Post is called "SABnzbd issue". Not sure if there's another code to share??

Link is:
pastebin.com/CQGSAc6e

Thanks a lot for checking it out.

[safihre]

What version of SABnzbd do you use?

[safihre]

Actually nevermind: I checked the files and it's just total messed up files.
Try getting a different NZB!

[mle1973]

Although...just tried it on NZBget and it worked ok!

@MLE1973: I have a manual method ... if you can run python3, probably on Linux/MacOS

So ... do you have that?

[mle1973]

Maybe getting a little out of my depth now. I’m not sure how to run python 3 directly. Interested to learn how though and hopefully it would help other users.

[sander]

I did some preparation (due to the spaces in the obfuscated filenames ... so I discovered a bug in my script), ran the python3 script "deobfuscate-rar-filenames-with-UNRAR-binary.py", with this beautiful result:

Which OSes do you have?
Linux or MacOS perhaps?
