SABnzbd Configs

Posted by Seez

So multiple errors when finishing a download. 1st: "Post Processing Failed for <SERIES NAME (see logfile)" 2nd: "Cannot create final folder /downloads/tv/<SERIES NAME" 3rd: "Failed making (/downloads/tv/<SERIES NAME) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/app/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/filesystem.py", line 763, in createalldirs os.mkdir(pathpartcombined) PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/downloads'." Settings Folders - they are default, I haven't changed anything. So as of now, "temporary download folder" is: Downloads/incomplete. And "completed download folder" is: Downloads/complete. Settings Categories - I have gone ahead and added movies and tv and added the folder/path to - /downloads/movies - and - /downloads/tv.

That's our gap, not yours — and it's a clean fix. Inside SparkBox the SABnzbd container only has /data mounted, not /downloads, so the default folders (and your /downloads/movies, /downloads/tv categories) point at a path that isn't writable — exactly that Errno 13. Repoint SAB at /data: Settings - Folders: Temporary Download Folder = /data/downloads/incomplete, Completed Download Folder = /data/downloads/complete Settings - Categories: movies - /data/downloads/movies, tv - /data/downloads/tv That's where qBittorrent and Sonarr/Radarr already look, so imports into Jellyfin will work after this. qBit auto-heals this path on our side; SAB doesn't yet — logging that as a bug for us to fix so this is automatic. You're on v1.6.115. Yell back if post-processing still errors after the change.

Awesome, glad that sorted it. That manual step won't be needed for long — the SAB path auto-heal is logged and coming, so future installs just work out of the box. Happy downloading.
