No unrar after upgrade

[Sabbest]

First, let me start by saying sabnzbd+ is one the best pieces of Software I've ever used, completely fits my needs!! Great Job!

I've recently upgraded to the latest BETA version sabnzbd+ (version 0.5.0B4). After the upgrade none of my NZB's seems to be able to unrar.  They all say:
"No post-processing because of failed verification" I am 100% sure there is no failed verification because when entering the ' unrar e "FILENAME" ' via my SSH terminal the unrar starts and always succeeds.
I've also disabled the 'Quick Check' option with no positive effect. Is there some logfile I can check for errors? I am running Sabnzbd+ on a Debian 5.0 box with kernel 2.6.26-2-686 . If necessary I can provide shell access for one of the developers to my Debian box. Please help, because I am at the point where I want to write my own bash script for unrarring

Please upgrade to Beta5, it does a better job of post-processing partial jobs.
Also some verification problems with NZBs containing multiple par2 sets were solved.

You may have NZBs with stray par2 files.
As a work-around you can set the option "Post-process only verified jobs" off.

Thank you for your reply. I've just upgraded to 0.5.0b5 and imported a few nzb's. I've kept backups of the nzb's just in case. Will post results later.
How come Beta 5 isn't posted on the main site http://www.sabnzbd.org/ ?

The announcement is there.
Must be a caching problem (maybe a site problem too).
I needed to refresh (F5) the page to see it in the web browser.

I cleared my cache and then checked it in another browser, as well another computer. It still lists the b4 release.

You are right.
I fixed it now by updating the post.

Thanks for reminding me.

Seems there are still some problems. Due to the holidays I wasn't able to reply earlier. I still have the same problem as before. None of my files get extracted and the "History" tabs shows "No post-processing because of failed verification" but manually doing a "par2verify" command and "unrar e" does the trick. What am I doing wrong?

Can you email me your sabnzbd.ini file (remove passwords first!)
and some of the problematic NZB files (bugs at sabnzbd.org) ?
You are sure that the NZBs are within the retention time of the server?
Have you tried to set the option "Post-process only verified jobs" off?

Send both to bugs at sabnzbd.org (lol, i first typed in hugs at sabnzbd.org )

Yup 100% sure

Have you tried to set the option "Post-process only verified jobs" off?

Not yet, wil try it in the following days.

I downloaded 2 of your 3 NZB without any problems on Linux Mint (which is a derivate of Ubuntu which is a derivate of Debian).
(I skipped the 6G job  )
Which par2 program are you using?
I managed to download without needing actual verification, it says "QuickCheck OK".
I also removed a file from the download to force a repair: works fine too.

It looks like it's something specific for your system or the Debian distro.
I really don't know where to look.
There are so many Linux and BSD distro's, we cannot possibly support all of them.

What could help is a file with the output of the par2 program, when you run it manually.

[Sabbest]

Strange, but as you said it seems to be just me

I'll have to debug the problem this week. Will keep you guys posted as I hunt for problems

[Sabbest]

I finally figured it out after some extensive testing. Turns out my whole installation was corrupted. The whole I/O-NICE options and par2 multi-core parameters weren't working, after disabling them the repair and extract function worked properly. After backing-up (took 68 hours to back-up all my files:)) and re-installing my system I found a configuration conflict with my kernel, fixed it, and now the whole thing works with I/O-NICE and par2 multi-core parameters.

This thread can be closed now, just wanted to let you guys know what caused the error. Also, when some else has repair and/or extract problems you can let them check the paramters for par2 and I/O-NICE.

Good that works now!
Thanks for the feedback.
