pa2info.abz file is the problem. If it happens again, I would like that file before you delete it.

par2info.abz?

I think its this one- didn't permanently delete them... just in case.

2.6MB  ???

You should cleanup/delete par2 sets from par2 tab more often.

Mine was 6.7MB when unrar stopped working. Now, that I deleted the file, everything works again.

Thanks

Mine stopped working again over the weekend too. Seems to be a regular thing for a few people. I first reported this last May and it is still happening.

I have now turned on cleanup as suggested and hopefully this will fix it. Is the root cause known?

If its a case of log or history files getting too big then maybe the app could post a warning when the files start to grow too large?

Updated from 0.35 to 0.39.4 and after some days working fine my PAR2 tab was somehow not working anymore.
A couple of files just stuck in there, cleanup and manuel deleting was not working after closing alt.binz these files just showed up again with a green symbol.

I just deleted the par2info.abz file (size 28KB) after alt.binz reboot everything works perfect again !

Thanks guys  8)

Just installed 0.394.
The first post was unrared perfectly, after that it stopped.
Whatever I try it does not unrar at all.

Anny suggestions would be great

Did you look in the log tab or in the log folder in the altbinz dir?

Do the nzbs that don't unrar apear in the par2tab?

Enable detailed logging to file in the settings. It is always helpful when it fomes to troubleshooting.Are par2 files included in the nzbs? if yes which files are set to be paused upon import?

Detailled logging was already enabled.

par2 show up, but are paused for download.
Same for all sample files, as supposed to.

Post by: davidq666 on January 26, 2012, 10:14:46 am
so even the small par2 is paused? the one without vol.xx+yy in it? If so that's the problem the small par2 file is needed for par checking, repair and unrar.

Go to NZB#2 and uncheck the small par files box.

As to logging make sure the box log into file is check aswell otherwise the records are not kept and are lost if you don't notice it tight away.

And problem solved . Unraring again.

But still no logfile.
Log into file was checked already.

Thx for your help.

I've got Altbinz folder directly under C: and my logs are all in the altbinz dir.

FAQ  :P

That's cause you have misc folder in there created by yourself or long ago from some ancient version.

If altbinz detects misc folder in its root dir it will use root dir, otherwise Users/..... dir
