Error using Newsbin with Couchpotato

[ppan]

I switched from SABnzbd to Newsbin to use with Couchpotato;
However, I have not been able to download anything since the switch. Here is an example of the couchpotato log:

INFO [.core.downloaders.sabnzbd] Sending "xxxNZBxxxx" to SABnzbd.

ERROR[.core.downloaders.sabnzbd] Failed sending release, use API key, NOT the NZB key: Traceback (most recent call last):

I followed the instructions to set it up here: http://help.newsbin.com/index.php/V660-NewFeatures
Note that I did not use an API key, and there is no username/password in Couchpotato

I'd set the same API key on both ends and see what happens. It's an arbitrary string. It just has to be the same on both sides.

I added the API key and fiddled around with the port;
Seems to connect fine now now, but Newsbin throws an error:

[19:38:24] ERROR SB - Failed to add New NZB to Download list.SomeMovie.rar

I turned on debug mode (in case that helps you):

Seems pretty clear. The link Couch is sending is downloading rars and not NZB files. I don't know that that's the problem but I bet it is.

If you'd mentioned this before 6.72 came out, it's probably something that could have been added. As it is, it won't get looked at till the next beta round starts and I have no idea how long that'll be.

You might see if you can tell your search site not to send rars but to send NZB's instead.

That is strange. Other users have used Couchpotato with Newsbin.
See here for example:
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=38588&p=210756&hilit=couchpotato#p210756
and
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=38193&p=211057&hilit=couchpotato#p211057

However, they used an older version of Newsbin. Maybe it is broken in v6.72?

EDIT: Note that SABnzbd receives the NZBs from Couchpotato in the format Mymovie.nzb.gz (at least that is how they are saved in the SABnzbd folder)

That is strange. Other users have used Couchpotato with Newsbin.

They might not be using the same search engine you are though. Ultimately it's the search engine that's sending RARS or NZB's. Couch isn't sending NZBS (though you might want to check the options to see if it can) it's sending URL's that Newsbin then downloads for couch.

I don't know if I'm right either. It's just the first thing that stood out.

This is the Couchpotato log:

08-23 22:12:17INFO[tato.core.plugins.release] Snatched "MyMovie": MyMovie in 1080p from Newznab, http://www.nzbfinder.ws

Any ideas if NZB is supposed to be sent to SAB/Newsbin?

If it is RAR files, why is only one file shown "Mymoviexx.rar? It is a set with many rars..

[Quade]

The RAR contains the NZB.

The protocol allows NZB's to be sent or URLS to be sent. Sonaar sends the NZB, Sickbeard sends the URL.

OK. so maybe this can be fixed in the next release so that Newsbin accepts the compressed NZB like SABnzbd.

BTW, I tried Sonarr and that works fine with Newsbin

Yeah, it already does every place else. This didn't look like a "thing" till you discovered it.
