RSS Howto

I tried to setup the RSS reader last night so I'd have the new Battlestart when I woke up but alas I did not have it :(

I'm using RC2.

Here's what I did:

1. Under General options, set RSS checking rate to 48.
2. Under RSS options added a feed.
3. Previewed it to verify it works.
4. Added filters to allow *battlestar* and deny everything else. Accept first, reject second.
5. Checked "scheduled" box.
6. Fell asleep.

I checked the +debug log but there's nothing in it to suggest it was actually polling the rss feed. Did I miss something?

Oh man, I must have been half asleep when coding this.

If you start SABnzbd up with no RSS feeds defined, the RSS scans will not be scheduled.
You need to do at least one "Save" in (e.g.) Config->General to cause a soft reset which
will schedule the task.
If you restart SABnzbd, it will also work.

This will (obviously) be repaired for the next release!

Thanks for reporting this.
