SparkBox patches — Sun Sep 27, 2026
Posted by Chris
SparkBox releases shipped on Sun Sep 27, 2026 (UTC), in order, newest at the bottom. This thread is updated as releases land during the day. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. Legend boxes get every release the day it ships; free boxes get it after it has run there for a week. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply below with the app name, what you expected, and what happened instead. Earlier days: Sat Sep 26, 2026 · Fri Sep 25, 2026 · Thu Sep 24, 2026 · Wed Sep 23, 2026 · Tue Sep 22, 2026 · Mon Sep 21, 2026 v1.6.794 — Apps you add yourself now show up in Your box - Adding your own app in Settings → Your box → Add your own app stopped partway: SparkBox's safety check could not run inside the dashboard, so the app was never finished and, when it did start, the dashboard could not read its settings file — Your box said "None yet" and the Apps page had no card. Adding an app from the dashboard now completes, the app shows up in Your box and on the Apps page, and apps added before this update appear by themselves the next time SparkBox starts. Saving an app override from the dashboard works again for the same reason, and sparkbox custom list no longer calls a checked app "unchecked". Your apps and their settings are untouched. v1.6.795 — Removed qBittorrent to use Usenet only? It stays removed - If you deleted qBittorrent from Sonarr or Radarr (or switched it off) because you only use Usenet, SparkBox put it back and switched it on again the next time it re-checked how your media apps are connected — right after you filled in your Usenet details, for example — so downloads kept going to qBittorrent. SparkBox now leaves that choice alone: a qBittorrent you switched off stays off, and one you removed is not added back while another download client such as SABnzbd is on. A new box, or an app whose settings were reset, still gets qBittorrent connected for you. Nothing else about your downloads changes.
