Hey everyone!
I have recently been having a issue with SABnzbd with it not unpacking anything I download even though I have the setting on for direct unpacking.
I tried to reinstall SABnzbd multiple times, install updates turn the setting off and on multiple times but I can't seem to get it to work.
Anyone have any tips on how to fix this issue? Because it is really annoying but couldn't find anything in the forums but I could be very blind.
I am using at this point version 3.3.1 but this has been a issue for since the last two updates if I recall correctly.
Thanks in advance!

Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
"no unpacking" ... so what is the result you see in the resulting directory? What kind of files are there?

Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
Well even with the direct unpack setting on in the sabnzbd config setting under the switches I still end up with my completed downloads being rar files which I personally need to unpack anyways
Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
Is the Processing level under Categories at least Unpack? Does SABnzbd find your unrar program? Look for a line that contains "UNRAR binary... found" in the log and check that the program that was detected can unpack your rar files.

Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
Hey I just checked my log and it says UNRAR binary... found (C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\win\unrar\x64\UnRAR.exe) and I checked the location seeing just the license.txt and UnRAR.exe. next to that I also checked about the processing level stuff I never played with that before it was on delete but changed it to "+unpack" but after a restart it didn't change anything sadly enough.
Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
OK, then more things you can do:
First: In SABnzbd's upper right corner, click on the wrench symbol ("Status and interface options"), then click on first tab Status, and there click on "Test download" 100MB.
Afterwards, check what you have: one big 100MB file, or separate rar files.
If one big file: good, you're done.
If separate rar files: in History, at test_download_100MB, on the right, click on the drop down arrow ... what does the dropdown menu show? Here's mine:
The important thing is the "Unpack" line. Post your whole dropdown menu here (just I did)

Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
Oke, then enable Debug logging in the Status window and then download the file again. Click Show Logging in the Status window after that and share the log with us, for example through pastebin.
If you share the whole file it will be easier to diagnose, as it also includes a (anonymous) version of your setting.

Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
Hey hey thanks for the help and sorry for the late response had some issues going on. I am not the most technical of people so first tried to understand it myself. It seems the unpacking software can't reach the location from what I can understand only no clue how to fix this.

Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
There seem to be multiple problems:
Your Default category (the first row in Config > Categories) is set to only +Unpack en nog +Delete, so the rar files are not deleted after the download is done.
But, it also says:
And:
Could you maybe choose a different folder for your Incomplete and Complete folder in Config > Folders?
Also: maybe you have a virusscanner active (other dan Microsoft Defender) or maybe something like Malware bytes?

Seems it didn't send properly so here is the link to see it https://ibb.co/h7J5ysw
Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
No, on the top row you need to set +Delete. It's set to +Unpack only now.

Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
Even with this change it hasn't started to unpack yet. Tried it after just a settings change and a full restart but no luck with it
Re: No unpacking whilst setting is turned on
Very strange.. In the logs it says (because it's anonymous)
C:\Users\<USERNAME>
What is the actual username that is there? Does it have special characters?
