Cannot add new indexers

I am having problems adding new indexers, specifically Dognzb and Omgwtfnzbs. Here’s the trace from Sonarr for Dognzb:

Unable to connect to indexer: Text node cannot appear in this state.  Line 8, position 1.: Text node cannot appear in this state.  Line 8, position 1.

It appears that for Omgwtfnzbs, the api has changed (at least it doesn’t appear to conform to what Dognzb does). Is this still a supported indexer?

If you hit the URL manually (its logged at debug) does it load?

Omgwtfnzb is not a newznab indexer, but Dog is and its working fine in my tests.

Yea omgwtfnzbs worked in the past, so I guess something changed on their end.

For Dog, yes if I hit the indexer manually it works just fine. I get the XML returned, and at first blush, it appears to be valid.

Did you read the announcement dog posted a few weeks ago? That caused some issues.

As long as you are adding a newznab indexer it should work, its working here.

Yup, I realized something was broken with the API and visited the site (which prompted me to click the link and visit the announcement).

Presumably if manually visiting the link works, it should also work in Sonarr?

It definitely should. Post trace logs to hastebin and we can take a look.

Here’s the trace: http://hastebin.com/acukolitud.avrasm

Need more logs, before and after the error message please.

That’s all I have. I cleared my logs so I could isolate all relevant log events. The first event is:

Invalid request Validation failed: 
 -- Unable to connect to indexer, check the log for more details

Followed by the previous trace.

I can provide a copy of the XML as well if that would be useful.

We need the whole log, not just the error, clear the logs then post the entire log after trying to connect.

Looks like it might have something to do with the certificate… Appears to be getting HTML back…

It looks like something is intercepting the traffic from Sonarr to your indexer because the certificate doesn’t have any errors here.

If you’re on Sonarr on Windows try opening that URL in Internet Explorer and put in your proper API key.

Running a headless Ubuntu system. I verified that my network was able to actually reach dog, and was able to cURL the API just fine, receiving the XML back without issue. It seems like I don’t have an issue outside of Sonarr; only when I try and add Dog do I have problems.

Is there anything else you think I should try?

Update: Rebooted Sonarr and I was able to add Dog… not sure what happened.
