Do not Launch Browser on Startup

[SteveS801]

I have unchecked "Launch Browser on Startup" and then save the page, but as a matter of fact, I must uncheck it every time SABnbzd starts. Because it does in fact open a browser window. Any help is appreciated.

After you do that (so: uncheck "Launch Browser on Startup" ), and exit SABnzbd, what does this say:

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini | grep -i browser
auto_browser = 1

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini | grep -i browser
auto_browser = 1

auto_browser = 0

But the browser is still launched.

OK, good.

And check the sabnzb.log like this:

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log | grep -i browser

And check the sabnzb.log like this:

2025-03-16 20:18:06,339::INFO::[sabnzbdplus:1157] Arguments = "/usr/bin/sabnzbdplus" "--browser" "1"

ah ... so from the commandline sabnzbd is starting the webbrowser: "--browser" "1"!

So find where that command is coming from.

I don't understand. I set it in settings not to open and it doesn't obey the settings?

The setting is overruled by the commandline parameter. So take care of that.

Thanks, I found it.

For anyone else reading and having the same issue: I pinned the program to the panel, but it had a command line parameter set. Just right click the main program icon from the menu and go to Properties, then edit

Code: Select all

--browser 1

to '0'

Just leave it out. Otherwise it will still overwrite what's in sabnzbd.ini (if you ever change it)

That's probably a better solution
