hi all,

I have Sabnzbd running on Ubuntu (XBMC Live) and I downloaded something yesterday, and it seems to have vanished!

It's a TV series, and I don't have TV Sorting enabled, but it's not in the folder it says it is when I look at the web interface for Sab (/home/xbmc/downloads/complete/TV/downloadname)

Can anyone think of any crazy sorting that may be applying without my knowledge? Or is there a way of seeing a history of SabNzbd's actions in a log of some sort so I can see what it has done with the files?!

thanks in advance, long shot I know. :(
 
Can you see the download in your Sabnzbd history? If so click on it and it should tell you where it's saved or, or if there were any errors etc (when using the default theme at least).
 
Odd.. does it say completed and not failed?

Have a look in your incomplete folder too (the path will be in the config screens somewhere), maybe it failed to move it?
 
yep, checked there, nothing in my incomplete folder! :\

Do you know of any log for Sab where I can check it out?
 
According to their site:
Windows XP/2003 %userprofile%\local data\application data\sabnzbd\logs
Windows Vista or 7 %userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\logs
Unix ~/.sabnzbd/logs
OSX ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/logs

My logs look pretty detailed (though I'm a dirty Windows user :p) so hopefully it'll lead you as to what happened.
 
Not a folder called _UNPACK where it says it went is there? Mine has started doing that the odd time at the minute and catches me out sometimes even though Sab is showing it should be where I want it.

That's because it's probably set to automatically extract the .rar files.
 
Cheers for the log locations Pho I'll check those out when I get home, I havn't heard of an _UNPACK folder before and tbh not sure where that would be but i'll certainly have a look!

This has happened once before on me when downloading music, I could never figure out where it went. This does't happen when downloading a movie though
