Testing V.3.0.0RC1 - API connection to SABNZBD from CouchPotato fails. Tested on Windows 10

I am testing the new Beta (Version 3.0.0RC1) and found that after adding the SABNZBD API to CouchPotato it will not validate. Error is "Connection failed. Check logs for details" (Note: API is confirmed correct in each test).
CouchPotato log shows: "ERROR [.core.downloaders.sabnzbd] Error getting data from SABNZBd: not implemented".

In one instance when CouchPotato tries to connect to SABNZBD, , SABNZBD suggests to provide the API to the 3rd-party app. (Which it already had)

Reinstalled version 2.3.9 which worked like a charm and gives "Connection successful" message with the same settings with the new API for this version instance.

I repeated these tests on a different computer with same results.

Also tested both versions/API on these 2 computers for SickBeard and there were no issues there.

Are you sure your Couchpotato setup is updated?
Indeed we made a breaking change by removing ancient code that older versions of CouchPotato used to use.

Yes, I believe I did update CouchPotato with the correct API of the SABNZBD v3.0.0RC1 instance I was connecting to. Restarted CP and verified the API was still correct as entered, but no luck. CouchPotato version used is 3.0.1

That version of CouchPotato is 5 years old..

It seems they never released a new version, but the sources get updated. So you could run it from source.
It's mostly abanonded by it's developer..
I could suggest you try Sonarr and Radarr, they are so much more flexible and very actively developed.
