SABNZBD errors running included Post processing script

Post by dJOS »

G'day all, Im losing my mind, I've been a SABNZBD user for years and just recently thought I'd add the included DeObfuscate py script to one of my categories that seems to be full of Obfuscated files these days.

Anyway, I'm running Windows 2008 R2 Server, SABNZBD 2.3.2, Active Python 2.7.14 and I have all the Paths set including PATHEXT as per the (very light on details) guide - as a result I can successfully run "Python" from anywhere via the command line and it runs no problem. I can also run any py file directly from the command line without issues, including DeObfuscate py.

However, when SABNZBD tries to run the included DeObfuscate py script, it fails with the below error:
"python" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I've googled the hell out of this but i'm completely failing to find a solution.

Can anyone please help?

I'm sorry but that OS us really ancient, I can make some suggestions.
Probably it's because you run Sab as a service?
Try installing the real python from python.org, and make sure to check Add Python to path during the installation.

Yeah I am running it as a service but with admin rights.

Ok I'll try using the "real" python. I had tried it before but I'd installed a v3 version, it wasn't till later that I discovered SABNZBD needs v2 instead.

Indeed on the Python website you have to get the 2.7 version.
Otherwise you'll have to Google how to add python to the system wide (nog just user) PATH.

I'm in the middle of a complete server rebuild with 2012 R2, see what happens after that.

Ok so after a complete server upgrade (clean) to Windows Server 2012 R2 I dont get those errors running the scripts anymore .... however the script isnt renaming the files either. I've tried using Sorting and it isnt renaming them either

For some reason I cant work out, now SABNZBD is just dumping an obfuscated file in the relevant output directory and now I dont even get a helpfully named directory with the obfuscated file in it with Sorting and DeObfuscate off - I dont have "Ignore any folders inside archives" turned on. ???

Ok so the scripts are actually running now, however because SABNZBD is for some reason removing the folders, and only moving the files, I get the following errors in the log:

Code: Select all

SABnzbd version:  2.3.2
Job location:  D:\ServerFolders\Videos\MotorSport\Formula 1
Par2-command:  C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\win\par2\multipar\par2j64.exe

------------------------

No par2 files found to process.

------------------------

Trying to see if there are large files to rename

------------------------

Found: D:\ServerFolders\Videos\MotorSport\Formula 1\c3eec716c9ae4347bd13fb851008e422.mkv
Found: D:\ServerFolders\Videos\MotorSport\Formula 1\F1 2018 Bahrain GP Practice One.mkv

------------------------

Found multiple larger files, aborting.
No par2 files or large files found
now this destination folder has multiple files already in it, the actual DL job was:

Code: Select all

Formula1 2018 Chinese Grand Prix Paddock Uncut PDTV x264-GRiP-Obfuscated
I'm guessing it would work if sabnzbd wasnt removing the Dir's (it never used to).

And I was right, plus it was my fault! :-[

I'd added an asterix to the end of my F1 category folder destination at some point in my mucking around and it was removing the folders! *facepalm*

Now everything works perfectly! Huzzah! ;D

Although the script seems to run when I add an NZB manually using the relevant category but not when rss grabs it using that category. Hmm, weird.

Make sure the Accept rule in Rss (or any of the one above it) don't have any Script set. Only Default, not None.

Yeah you were right, one of the RSS accept rules had "none" set for script instead of default.
