For some reason, I can't add my NZBGeek VIG account as a Newznab provider

Help & Support
1

It says “Invalid Newznab URL entered”, but I’m literally copypasting it right from NZBGeek’s page. It’s exactly the same URL I have in Sickbeard, but NZBDrone doesn’t seem to like it. Any ideas why?

Have you also entered the API Key? The invalid error can get thrown due to the error message that newznab returns when no API Key is provided, but one is required.

If you are entering the API Key, please provide the error message that is logged

This is what is logged when I don’t provide and API Key:

Subsequent errors:

– Invalid Newznab URL entered

I’m definitely including the API Key. The error I’m getting is this (minus my API):

Failed to get response from: https://01100111011001010110010101101011.info/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5030,5040&extended=1&apikey=blahblahblah The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.

Its an error with SSL protocol they use (TLS 1.1 I believe) and .net 4 being able to use it. If you’re on Windows XP/Server 2003, you’re unfortunately out of luck, but if you’re on Vista/Server 2008 or above you can install .net 4.5 and it will resolve the issue.

Ayup. That’s the ticket right there. I’ll let them know that’s a problem. Thanks!

Solved for me too

Note, there’s no problem with the SSL version under mono (on linux) either, I’m pulling from nzbgeek VIG over SSL just fine on unraid.

hi,

i have nzbdrone installed on Ubuntu 14.04LTS, with Mono, and am getting this error: (have replaced API key with xxx)
FetchFeedService - Invalid API Key for NZBGeek https://01100111011001010110010101101011.info/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5030,5040&extended=1&apikey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx &limit=100&rid=33100&season=2&ep=1
The API key is correct. i copied and pasted it in, it worked previously in, sorry to say this, sickbeard.
Any ideas please?
