Open with for nzb-files not working

Post by Mp3yo39Qq »

Hello,

I'm using this nice tool for a while but lately a double click on an nzb-file or using "open with" option from firefox will only open a new browser window an not add a download to donwload queue.

Interestingly" Open with" from Chrome works.

SABnzbd version: 3.7.1
Firefox 108.0.2
Windows 10

I removed the registration for nzb-files from windows and created anew - did not help
Set up Chrome as default browser did not help.

At this point I have no clue if this is a windows or a sabnzbd problem.

I'm gratefull for any suggestions

Regards

Maybe this works: run SABnzbd again, and make sure you check "associate NZB" or something like that?

sorry, I should have said: "run the install of SABnzbd again". It's in the install procedure

Hello,

I re-installed SABnzbd again but it doesn't helped.

Now if I select the "Open with.." option in Firefox or from a File Explorer and select SABnzbd 3.7.1 a "How do you want to open it?" dialog shows up a 2nd time and give me a list of browsers to use to open the nzb-file. BUT SABnzbd is not in this list and there is no option to look for a programm on my PC only "Look in App-Store"

Does this feature work as intended on your device? Open from Firefox or File Explorer?

I don't use Windows, so I can't compare nor check.
