RSS won't auto download...

[travisbell]

Hey guys,

I added a bunch of RSS feeds from nzbs.org and they don't seem to want to auto-download. I have the extra params added, and the RSS check interval set to 30 minutes.

When I click "Preview" or "Force Download" everything downloads properly (ie. regex matches), it's just the bloody thing won't seem to check every 30 minutes.

There is nothing that obvious that show up in the logs. I am using 0.50.

Any ideas?

Is the tick box in the upper left corner of each feed enabled?
Otherwise it won't scan automatically.

I have exactly the same issue.

Changed my RSS feed URL from TVNZB to nzbs.org and now the feed doesn't automatically refresh.  I have mine set to refresh every 15 minutes and i've just watched the debug logs, nothing ever seems to happen.  The tick box to enable the feed is checked.

Help!

Stopped sab, deleted (moved!) the rss_data.sab file before restarting sab....seems to have fixed the issue for me.  OP, can you try this and report back?

rss_data.sab is in %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\sabnzbd\cache if you're on Windows.

[shypike]

The content of rss_data.sab has no relation with the scan timing.
What the file contains is cached content from the feeds used for two purposes:
- to see which NZB's are new in a feed
- to check for duplicates (across feeds)

The latter is the most likely to cause problems (if any), because duplicates
are checked for across feeds and existing titles are kept until 4 weeks
after they disappear from the feed.
Duplicate checking is done against jobs that have actually been queued.
BTW: when a feed is deleted, the old data remains in the rss_data.sab.

If you suspect things don't work OK, try setting duplicate checking off.
See if that makes a difference.

[mappy24]

I had already set duplicate checking off (it was on since I was experimenting with nzbindex.nl).

No RSS scans were happening in the debug level log, I deleted that file and suddenly it's working again.  If the rss_data.sab file has nothing to do with RSS feed scanning then maybe it's just a coincidence!

AHA!

Restarting did the trick.

Seems as though, on a first startup and configuration, it didn't want to work for me. Restarted SAB and boom, all is well again.

Thanks!

That would suggest that the scheduler crashed.
The scheduler should be auto-restarted when it stops.
It does when tested

[travisbell]

As I stated, I restarted SAB and everything was good. I went back in to add a handful of feeds and the scheduler it crashed again. Restarted SAB and everything is running good again.

Seems like something to do with adding a bunch of feeds is killing it. Atleast I know when I do this now to just restart SAB

[shypike]

Is there any indication in the logging that anything actually crashes?

[kitgerrits]

I have this exact same issue at the moment (shows don't automatically download from the feed).
I have not yet restarted SABnzbd.

Is there anything I can do to aid in debugging this issue?

[MageMinds]

I have the same problem.

Here is what I get in the Debug log. The scheduler crashed, but there is no reason mentionned.

The filter rule 0 is a "catch all" *

Oh and I did delete the file as suggested and restarted SAB, without success, the log below is after stopping, deleting and restarting.

When I Force Download it works and when I preview the feed and click on download it works too.

All I see is the same:

::INFO::[__init__:757] Restarting crashed scheduler

I see it multiple times actually and it seems to restart sometimes but ultimately dies permanently.

[shypike]

The only thing that might help diagnose this.
Start SABnzbd-console.exe instead of the normal program.
Wait until the NZB fetching crashes, it should be visible in the black console window as a "Traceback".
Make sure nothing is downloading , else the other logging will make this info invisible.

[MageMinds]

I'll try to recreate the problem using the console mode.

Can it be that sometimes nzbs.org doesn't sent the rss feed but instead send an error saying that the service is unavailable?

Also it is possible to filter the rss feed not only on the title, but within the content, like the category for instance?
