All downloads fail with error: "Syntax Error after '<!' characters."

Hopefully someone can help. Starting sometime Friday, anything being searched for fails with the following error:
Syntax Error after ‘<!’ characters. http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.1.dtd Line 1, position 3.

Within the GUI is appear like it just didn’t find anything. If you manually search or look in the logs you see this Syntax Error.

Here is small snipped of the debug log and the header from the NZB which is pulled down. This happens over and over.

thanks in advance!

First line of the NZB which is is complaining about:

First search result if you search for that error here:

FIXED…
@markus101 thanks for the heads up. I was searching for the full string and only found one article. Your nudge got me on the right path though. Ended up having an old docker image. Blew that away and installed a new one from a different provider and it appears to be working again. thanks!

Can you guys tell me how to fix this issue? I’m on a Mac with high Sierra. I am using the latest version of SabNZB and Sonarr. I checked the link the @markus101 sent but I am not tech savvy enough to understand it.

Thanks!

Nevermind. I figured it out, and it now works correctly. All I had to do was to go to http://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-mac and click on the BLUE download link, install and restart my mac. I booted up Sonar again with SAB and it all just worked!
