Crossed Badlands post-processing always failing

[SebNYD]

Hello,

I initially thought that something was wrong with the files, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Mylar works very well for me except when a new issue of Crossed badlands is downloaded. Everytime the postprocessing fails (I'm on Windows 7).

Could you try to add this comic and tell me if the same thing happens to you ?

Thanks,

Seb

(I'm on ubuntu 12.04) I was able to add the series, and search for the last 3 issues. Issue 58 was the only one that downloaded and post-processed successfully. It couldn't find issue 60, and the 2 tries it attempted for issue 59 were marked as Failed (since they failed to extract when it was performing meta-tagging).

Edit. Just tried this on Windows 8, latest development build, same as above - although it couldn't find issue 60 due to some weird store date, but it tried to grab issue 59 - failed as they were tagged as being corrupt, and 58 it grabbed fine and post-processed.

What are the logs say showing your post-processing failing ?

[evilhero]

First download was a corrupt archive which gets detected when Mylar has to convert the cbr to cbz for metatagging. It then gets marked as Failed, and Mylar attempts to do another search for a different result but stops. Because you don't have Failed Download handling enabled it stops the post-processing.

Have you tried opening the cbr file to see if you can view it, if you're saying the files are not corrupt.

[SebNYD]

But that's just it, the file is not corrupt.

Regarding the fact that the Failed handling is disabled, it's be cause the very same thing happened with issue 59 and Mylar kept retrying again and again (90 nzb were sent to SAB !), so I had no choice but to disable that feature :)

[evilhero]

Is it just Badlands that doesn't process? You'd have to open every image in the archive to make sure that it's not corrupt (or read the file in your Comic reader from start to finish).

If it occurs for every series, then it would be a coding problem for sure, but if it's only happening with this one series it honestly is probably due to the nzb being grabbed that is bunk.

Have you tried manually post-processing the issue that Mylar says is corrupt but it's not?

[SebNYD]

Yes, this only happens with Crossed Badlands and it's been a while oddly.

When reading these issues, I don't see anything wrong inside.

I did the post processing with ComicRack (Convert to CBZ then get Metadata) and got no warning, it just worked.

That's not so bad but it's really weird :)

[evilhero]

Yeah it is weird if it's just the one series, and I honestly don't know why it would be failing other than the invalid JPG's inside.. Mylar just does a simple 'unrar x' command to test the integrity.. Hmm.. Can you verify your version of unrar that you're running?

It would be nice if this would just work like the others, so it's a bit of a head scratcher.

I did notice something unrelated - the failed Id that Mylar stores when failed Download handling happens is incorrect (it's storing your api key), so I'll look into that as well..

Have you tried another provider aside from nzb.su?? Even experimental might yield different results since they go through different download calls.

[SebNYD]

Regarding providers, Dognzb and Experimental have also been for issue 58 and 59 (Failed PP also).

I have WinRAR 4.2, I'll try to update and see what happens :)

[SebNYD]

It seems that simply upgrading WinRAR version did the trick :)

Thanks,
