SABnzbd Forums

For a little over a week I've been having issues with my downloaded files being correctly extracted and processed. I have a pretty simple set up with Sabnzbd and Sickbeard running on a ubuntu vm. The errors I'm seeing are are mostly unusable RAR files.

I logged into the drive and had a look at the extracts and manually I can extract them just fine. I'm not sure what changed or if this has to do with still using unrar 4 but its never been an issue in the past. I tried directly downloading into sabnzbd to bypass sickbeard but still get similar results, sickbeard just returns extra info here are no videofiles in folder: --which I know isn't true.

Any suggestions or ideas for getting me back up and running would be greatly appreciated.

How can you have unrar 4 on your Ubuntu VM? Even trusty (14.04) has unrar 5.

Its like V12 of Ubuntu, I've been running this image for over 5 years

Ah ... 12.04. And I thought my 14.04 VPSes were old. ;-)

There are two rar formats in the wild: rar format 3 and rar format 5. Obviously, with rar version 4 you cannot rar format 5 files.

So ... upgrade your (un)rar binary? EDIT: Hey, wait, if you can manually extract ... how do you do that?

Or ... upgrade your Ubuntu ... 12.04 is not supported anymore
