No unrar despite enabling the switch

Post by neographikal »

Version: 0.3.4
OS: Vista x64 NL Business
Install-type: Windows zip
Template (if applicable): Default
Firewall Software: Windows Firewall, working correctly
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? Yes

I'm importing NZB's with the dirscan folder, but it doesn't Unrar my files despite enabling the +delete switch on "Dirscan Options:". I can't find any errors in the log. Unpacking with Winrar isn't a problem, so the files are correct. The whole unrar-stage is also missing in the history screen.


Stage Par2
    [PAR-INFO] 300.2006.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-ESiR: => Verified in 162.3s, all files correct
    [DEL-INFO] 300.2006.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-ESiR: => Deleted 2 file(s)

It does repair, but it doesn't unrar.

Did I stumble on a little bug?

There seems to be a glitch in the Win32 zip-package. I downloaded that again and used it: same problem. Then I tried the installer: problem gone, it extracts my files as I'm typing this. I haven't changed the configuration at all.

Did you enable unrar in the Config->Switches screen?

Yup and strangely enough, while not changing anything in my config, the Windows installer version did start to unrar. The .zip version didn't, not after reinstalling that one (no config change)

It could have to do with user rights.. I had these problems using the zipped win32 binaries...

unzip.exe and unrar.exe are 100% indentical in the installer and in the w32-zip file.

HI,

Actually, I am seeing this behaviour too, under OSX 10.5.2. All the settings and switches are correct, so I am quite sure it's not a setting issue.

Exact same problem as above, Repair works, but not unrar.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Actually, when i type the above, it gives me command not found error, in terminal.

However, if I type 'unrar' at the command prompt in terminal, it shows that it's installed and starts to show the flag lists.

Also, if i were to cd /usr/bin/ and then issue an 'ls' command, I do not see any unrar in the resulting list. Could it be that MacPar Deluxe (which i have installed) installs 'Unrar' in a different directory?

I installed SABNzbd using the 0.3.4 mac osx installer downloaded here.

Anyone has an idea on how to fix this?

Thanks.
