NZB Watched folder not working

Post by jubei »

The NZB watched folder isn't working anymore.  I'm pretty sure this behavior's been like this since I upgraded to 0.5.2.  Anyone else having issues?  Thanks!

It works.
Have you tried restarting?
Checked the scan rate, checked the location?

I've played with the scan rate, changed the watched folder location, restarted (even installed on a different Mac). At first I thought it was a dropbox issue so I moved it to a non synced folder (~/Downloads/Watched). I dunno what the issue is, this just started happening. If I load it manually, it works fine.

I remember our OSX man saying you shouldn't use folders on the desktop.
I don't know why that was.

Okay, I've figured it out.  My nzb's were getting picked up overnight.  I have a schedule to unpause the queue at 1 am.  I'm paused almost every other time.  If I unpause manually, it starts picking up.

Did the logic change recently?  Should it only be picking up when the queue is unpaused?

There's "pause" and "pause-all" in the scheduler.
"Pause" will only stop the downloading.
"Pause-all" will stop all disk activity, including watched folder scanning.
The latter is there mostly for people who want their NAS system
to go into powersave mode during the paused period.
That won't happen if SAbnzbd keeps reading the watched folder.

Well you guys were on point....fixed the scheduling to just pause so it now picks up NZB's.  Smooth as silk :)  thanks again for all of your help.
