Password protected archives?

Help & Support
1

As the .nzb is downloaded successfully, it has not failed, and Sonarr sees it as complete, which it has completed. The problem is that SABNZBD cannot un-rar the files due to a password.

The question then is, how to get Sonarr to see the password protected file “result” from SABNZBD as a failure and not a completion and to go out and look for another download?

thanks,

Tell SAB to Abort it. Config - Switches - Action when encrypted RAR is downloaded

SAB has been set to “Abort” when an encrypted RAR is downloaded, but still pulls them down, this may be because the size is ~500MB for these files…not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Is SAB marking these as failed? trace logs will show exactly what SAB sends Sonarr (assuming this item is still in the queue), but if its not marking its explicitly as failed Sonarr won’t treat them as failed downloads.

This is the time period in thelog…i see the show Modern Family S06E16, however there is not indication (at least to me) that a message is being sent that it failed. In SAB, shows as “unpacking failed, archive requires a password”, not that the download failed, so maybe that’s the distinction between the two?

Thats likely the issue. If you enable Trace logging (not the default Info logging) then we can see what SAB returns if it occurs again (please pastebin the logs if you get them).
