SABnzbd for RN102

Hi, I've been using SABnzbd on my RN102 for some time now, without much problems to speak of.

 

Recently, I had a pretty big download queue, which it wouldn't finish; it stopped at around 80%.

 

I figured I'll restart SABnzb, see what happens. However, it didn't come back on. It wouldn't start from the NAS UI and the bookmark i normally use to start SABnzbd wouldn't load either.

 

I figured I'll reboot the NAS via putty. At first the UI wouldn't come back on either. Used Raidar to see if the NAS was there. It was, but it wasn't accessible because it was busy.

 

After having tried another reboot, it took a while to come back on and now I noticed the firmware had updated from 6.2.3 to 6.2.4 (I didn't tell it to update the firware)

 

Treid launching SABnzbd again with no luck.

 

updated the fimware to 6.2.5 to see what would happen, still not able to launch SABnzbd.

 

Tried to re-install the app, but the UI kept hanging while trying to remove the app. after another reboot the app still showed up in the app list, but without its icon. (broken image link)

 

I thought maybe if I install it again from "available apps" (where I originally installed it from) but now it's nowhere to be found on that list. When I google "SABnzbd arm" I see that there's a version available but now i have to PAY for it? This seems rediculous. I mean, isn't this "who cares" guy just making money with someone else's freeware?

 

Anyway, I'd love to be able to use SABnzbd again on my NAS (or any other NZB client for that matter) and I was wondering if anyone could help me out?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks a bunch in advance and kind regards,

 

Laszlo

    Ok, I got it solved!

     

    I'm not sure if it was part of the problem, but I was also having some problems copying some files to my NAS. I deleted a bunch of files but the NAS didn't show any extra space after that. After some looking around I found someone else had a similar problem and it had to do with the snapshots. I deleted all the snapshots of my movies and music shares, because those are where I made the most changes to in the past few weeks (lots of copying and deleting) and it freed up a couple hundred gigs. :)

     

    After that, i thought "what the heck", what if I try installing python again? It installed successfully. I thought well, if that works, how will SABnzbd do? So I installed the .deb file I downloaded from here: http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9 and it installed successfully, with all its settings unchanged. :)

     

    very happy! :) :)

    Hi LaszloFolgerts,

     

    Try to install the SABnzbd app (ARM) that can be downloaded here.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

     

    Kind regards,

      Hey, thanks for the reply! :) I already tried that but it failed to install.

       

      I also tried re-installing python, but after having it removed I couldn't get it installed again.

       

      I tried rolling back a few firmware versions; as far back as to 6.2.2. When I tried to install python, It said it installed successfully, but it wouldn't show up on the "installed apps" list. I'm now back at firmware 6.2.5 again and now it just says that it failed to install.

       

      I still can't get SABnzbd fully removed either. It still show up in the "installed apps" list, but without the icon (shows a broken image link.) Every time I try to remove it, I get the "removing application, this may take a few minutes" popup and that just stays up indefinitely. After I've refreshed the page the app is still there, nothing changed. When I try to switch SABnzbd on, I get the "toggling service" popup and then disappears again, but SABnzbd stays turned off.

       

      Hoping someone knows what to do :)
