NZBGet not merging split files

Post by hisXLNC » 24 Oct 2018, 13:44

Hello,

trying to move over to nzbget from sabnzbd.

I have a file i downloaded and it unpacks into the following files

123.mkv
123.mkv002
123.mkv003

etc...

NZBGet is not merging the files into one file. This is causing Sonarr to grab the 123.mkv which is an incomplete file.

how do i fix this?

That's an unusual way of splitting files. Normally splitted files should look like:

Code: Select all

123.mkv.001
123.mkv.002
123.mkv.003
and they should be joined automatically.

After the download is completed switch to history, click on the item, then button "Log" and button "Save to file". Upload the file to pastebin.com and post the link here.

The poster has first created par2-files and then splitted the mkv-file. This is weird because par2-files are used to repair download but the poster has damaged it himself by splitting the file. If the par2-files were created after splitting all would work fine.

Please try this: disable option DirectRename and retry download of this nzb. Then post the new log.
