Can you enable log level trace (Settings -> General) and wait a minute. The log file should then contain the full Json message with "Response: " before it. If the error is logged next (to be sure the json in the log is the one causing the issue), then post the json response here, or PM it to me.

Fix issue (didnt change port) left as the default on both so thought it was that but had to change Nzbdrone to 8085
