Newsbin 6 doesn't load NZB anymore

Postby newzie » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:28 pm

Hi,

I have upgraded from v5.57 64-bit to 6.x 64-bit a couple of months ago, and it worked fine till yesterday.
Suddenly it stopped loading NZBs correctly - every NZB is opened as if it's empty - the tab has no content in it.
I have upgraded to v6.21 build 1534 - didn't help.

When I press "Reload from disk" - Newsbin crashes.

I have restored a backup of v5.57 into another folder and copied into it all the latest .DB3 files - works fine, even though it is using the same NBI file.
When I copy all the EXE and DLL files from 6.21 folder to 5.57 folder - the problem re-appears.

I have uploaded the user-mode crash dump to http://www.sendspace.com/file/bpc7ew

regards.
Newzie.

When you look at the NZB with wordpad does it seem to have content?

Fixed the crash. Don't think I've ever tested "reload from disk" with NZB's. It's really intended for headers downloads, not NZB's.

If it was working and then just stopped working with no change to the software, that suggests a problem with the NZB's.

The NZBs are fine, v5.57 loads them perfectly well.
When opened in Notepad, everything looks fine.

I don't know then. I'm loading NZB's with no issue as are many people. Without some idea of what's changed with your setup, I probably can't help you. Clearly something changed between it working and then not working. What software have you updated, besides Newsbin in that time period?

How are you loading them? Load NZB button? Might try saving them to some folder your user can write to, then use the "Load NZB" button and see if you can load them. Look in the logging tab if that still doesn't work.

I have found the problem - it happens when the path to NZB file has a space in it. v5.57 doesn't have this problem.

No, using the 'Load NZB" button.

I don't get what you mean by spaces then. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong for you so, I can fix it but, there's not enough information.

It's hard to *not* have a space in a path on a Windows system, so it's something more than that. Maybe it's permission based, you lack permissions to write out the nzb there, or read it. Try another location that you know is a legit one.

That's good info.

Trailing spaces are illegal, I guess leading spaces aren't.
