I believe this should be resolved. Please try the latest testing build when you have a chance.

Is the use of PasswordDetector still necessary? NZBGet has the capability to extract passwords directly from the NZB file (e.g., <meta type="password">password</meta>) or from its name if they are enclosed in brackets (e.g., my_nzb_{{password}}.nzb). Could you clarify if there are specific password scenarios that NZBGet doesn’t currently support? Please inform me of any such cases so I can add support for them.

Hi,

I upgraded to 25.5-testing-20251210. The error is the same.

Not only the PasswortDetector runs into a failure, but all scripts.

I tried to write a simple logger-Script, but this also fails. The PasswortDetector did not run since a long time with this error. I used this Script for an example.

Please send the PasswordDetector extension and your nzbget.conf file (ensure any sensitive information is removed).
The nzbget.log would also be very helpful for reproducing this.

Sorry, your Mailserver didn´t like my IP:

Do you accept Mails from Germany?

[dnzbk]

That’s strange. I do not set such restrictions and it worked well before.
Do you have Discord? Could you join the NZBGet Discord server and share the files by sending them to me @denis via direct message?

I´m now on this server. I can´t send you a message until adding you as a friend. Adding you as a friend is not possible, because you don´t allow it. ;)
