unRAID with SABnzbd

[Dephcon]

Assuming your .sabnzbd folder is on the cache drive, you just copy the files over. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

 

I did this to upgrade from 0.5.x to 0.6RC2. Back up the entire .sabnzbd folder before copying over, just in case.

 

I remember attempting to upgrade of one of the 0.6.x betas but it didn't work properly and i had to roll back.  I'll give it another shot.

Any major improvements in upgrading to 6.0?

The updates in the plush skin alone make it a worthy upgrade.

Woah, why did I wait so long to upgrade?! The new GUI rocks   

 

The password list is also a nice update.

I spoke too soon, my queue won't show up at all. Just like dimh:

Anyone jumped the 0.6 beta 2 bandwagon?

 

I copied it to the usb stick in a separate folder and copied over the sabnzbd.ini file from my 0.5.5 installation. Downloading works fine, but the queue shows empty, while items do show up in history when finished.

 

Any ideas?

 

I also found it here referenced here, but no ideas on how to fix it:  http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=6912.0

 

In my log I found:

   return _setlocale(category, locale)

Error: unsupported locale setting

 

Any ideas on how to fix that? I'm using the 2.1 dependencies.

[lionelhutz]

Yup, I'm seeing the same thing here. I'm not sure where the issue is yet.

Same things here, classic or simpl show the queue allright.

Just upgraded without any issues

 

see screenshot

 

... funny in unraid which is presumed to be difficult i upgrade easy.. queue intact no worries

in windows i lost my queue  not a long one as in unraid but i had to manually move some nzb's from the cache back to sab... not a big issue but still funny

Do a super-refresh of the browser - Ctrl-Refresh, or delete browser cache. That'll fix it.

I tried that in safari, still not working. I downloaded and installed firefox for the first time, also not working.

[neilt0]

Well, I had the same problem and it was fixed by a super-refresh, per this thread: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=6792.msg46430

[Orbi]

Seems the issue only impacts to python installs with the dependencies package 2.1 as it is missing some kind of locale package.

 

neilt0, what Python do you have?

[Dephcon]

I just dropped in the sab 0.6.0 python code and it's all good.  I also upgraded my SABnzbdDependencies-2.9-i486-unRAID.tgz to 2.1.  0.6.0 works fine with 2.0 fyi.

[Jomp]

Mine was a classic case of "have you tried turning it off and on again?"  

 

I had some nice unraid uptime going, but I gave a reboot a try and it fixed the queue problem right up!

[Dephcon]

I gotta say after using Plush tonight on 0.6 I actually kind of like it now.  I was forcing myself to use it on 0.5.x since classic is on its way out, and I didn't really care for it at all. 

 

Now all I need is unraid 5.0 final with ant's GUI and I'll be most satisfied

Reboot also fixed mine not showing.

Anyone having issues with not getting full download speeds with SABnzbd?  I use Newsbin on my windows machine and get 24Mbit/s (3MB/s) but when I installed SAB to unRaid I only get 20Mbit/s (2.7MB/s).  I then installed SAB on my windows machine and again only get 20Mbit/s (2.7MB/s), slower than Newsbin.  Tested and confirmed on windows machine with DU meter and timing the same files on each program, SAB is slower for some reason

 

Posted to the SAB forums and they said maybe because its written in Python is the reason its slower, not much help over there

 

Anyone else experience this?

 

thanks

No, I do not experience slowdowns. I max out my connection with SABnzbd on my Linux box, which is 25 mbit/sec with powerboost to 30mbit/sec during initial connection.

I had the same problem getting the queue to show up with the Plush skin under 0.60. The only way I could get it to work was to remove the following line from SABnbd/interfaces/Plush/templates/queue.tmpl:

 

<% locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") %>

 

Seems to be working ok now.

 

Cheers,

Tom.

Thanks for the tip - fixed my problem with Plush too

A reboot fixed my queue not showing up. I thought that only in Windows a reboot magically fixed things?

Ok so I installed SAB without using the unmenu package.  To upgrade I just copy the files to the sab folder on my cache drive.  Also is SABnzbdDependencies-2.1-i486-unRAID.tgz the newest set of dependencies?  I thought I read there was a 2.9?  If there is a newer version where can I find it?  Is removing the  <% locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") %>  code necessary or are folks having success getting it to  work without doing that?  Lastly do I need to save any of the files in the SAB cache drive folder to preserve my settings?

 

 

Thanks!  I've been loving the sickbeard/couchpotato/Plex/Sab combo.  I'm just itching for the linux verson of plex server so we can hopefully get it running on our boxes!  Thanks for the help ahead of time.  I would be in trouble with the wife if her shows didn't download.  \

Correct.

Also is SABnzbdDependencies-2.1-i486-unRAID.tgz the newest set of dependencies?  I thought I read there was a 2.9?  If there is a newer version where can I find it?

If there were newer dependencies, it would be posted in this thread.  To my knowledge, 2.1 is the most current version.

Is removing the  <% locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") %>   code necessary or are folks having success getting it to  work without doing that?

I can't speak for others, but a reboot fixed the issue of the queue not showing up (though it was downloading just fine).

Lastly do I need to save any of the files in the SAB cache drive folder to preserve my settings?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, but if all you're doing is upgrading to the newer version, just copy the new SAB files over the old one.  It will preserve your settings (but you should still be safe and back up the entire directory just in case).

 

Good luck!

Fingers crossed.  I've been monitoring the Plex forums on a regular basis hoping that an unRAID favor of PMS will be released.  I think there's enough demand to warrant it (#2 on their poll). 

[blontic]

New Sab doesn't use the cache folder anymore. I just deleted it. So far nothing has died
