unrar functionality not working

Post by mananana »

Hi,

I have installed sabnzbd+ 0.3.1 on vista 64. Everything is working how I know it to work, but for some reason it is not auto unrarring.

Setting is set to enabled (turning it off and on, didn't seem to change anything)
Logfile is telling it found unrar
after unpar, no logentry about unrar not working
unrar works (tested it with commandline)

Am I missing something which I do wrong?

Do you use the nzb blackhole or do you add it via the webinterface? Is in the "postprocessing actions drop down menu" R selected? If so, it only does Repair.

I'm having a similar issue.  Did a clean install of new version yesterday.  Using +Delete as DirScan option.

Neither RARs or ZIPs are being extracted automatically.  Tried adding through web interface, SabnzbStatus (Firefox), and through monitored directory.

Tried w/ and w/o "Create Category Folders" enabled.

Ok.  I set "Post-process only verified jobs:" to "NO" and the files extracted.

Something must be crapping out during PAR verification.

Yes, I'm afraid "Post-process only verified jobs:" doesn't work as planned, a "False" where there should be a "True" causes it to not unpack at all.

For now, please keep the setting "Post-process only verified jobs:" set to "No" until we issue a fix.
