Sabnzbd: priority not assigned correctly when importing from watched folder

[OneCDOnly]

Hey guys, using SABnzbd 3 from GitHub source/develop on Debian 10.4

When SAB reads my RSS feeds and imports a movie, it correctly assigns the "movies" category and sets the priority to "force" - great!

When SAB reads from my watched folder and imports NZBs, the category is also correctly assigned "movies", but the priority is set to "normal".

This used to work fine - import them and assign priority "force". How can we fix this?

Cheers!

watch folder does not set priorities.
normally it would get set to whatever the default priority is. unless set by the category matching

now you could always add a pre-queue script to adjust that/add intelligence to just pass a specific priority or make the request to set a priority to override for watched folder.

This worked fine in SABnzbd 2.3.9. I'm using the same configuration files. :confused:

I'm hoping if this can't be fixed as an issue, maybe we could make it a feature request? It's a little odd to not be able to set priorities just because the import is from a watched folder.

can you share logs from your 2.3.9 instance ? (and your current instance) - full log so we see your .ini settings

and if you are running from source, you could try to back up to the commit before
https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/pull/1502/files
to see if that is when the change was introduced

No, I don't use 2.3.9 anymore. I've switched to 3.0.0

You could always install 2.3.9 yourself and try it. :wink:

I can confirm something is going wrong here! It's indeed ignoring the category-priority.

Yup, I can confirm this now works again. Thanks @Safihre :grin:
