Issues Setting up SABnzbd and Radarr

Hello!
I posted a while back, just wanted you to know that the /dev/tuns thing was indeed sorted by fully reinstalling Debian 12!
Anyways, I have my own internet, so took another crack at it, but am now stuck.
When setting up SABnzbd following your guide, I was not able to set my temporary/completed download folders right away. The folders simply didn't exist (/data/downloads/usenet/(in)complete). I manually made them in my /srv/media folder using mkdir, and then set it in SABnzbd to the aforementioned paths. First question is just wondering did I mess something up here? I am not entirely sure how /srv/media is related to /data/ with the docker magic, and if this not existing to begin with is indicative of a larger problem.
I am at the Radarr setup, and testing my SABnzbd download client fails, because it says "Category does not exist" (movies) when I try. When I follow the tooltip, I come here and see this:



I was wondering if you had any thoughts. Thanks!

Hey @aarwannabe!
Make sure you saved everything in SABnzbd and restart YAMS for good measure. The directories thing is not weird, sometimes the services create directories and sometimes they don't, and you fixed it correctly 
Cheers!

Restart didn't work, so I just continued the trend of making all the /movies, /tv folders.
Everything works! I am extremely useless and not sure how to STOP downloads once they've started, as I accidentally started downloading WAY too much, but hey, I'll sort it out.
This is extremely slick, and I am so thankful you made YAMS, I barely managed even WITH a great guide. Thanks so much for everything!

I actually think there is an error in the configuration guide for sabnzbd. So the guide says to setup the folders as /data/downloads/usenet/incomplete and /data/downloads/usenet/complete. When actually the folder structure created is /data/downloads/sabnzbd/incomplete and /data/downloads/sabnzbd/complete
Doing what you have done is fine, as it simply creates a new folder structure - but rogs may want to check the guide and change it - unless I am missing something.

Hey @atomic_echo!
Actually, it can be either. The directories should get created by SABnzbd after you set them, so either should work 
Maybe I can add the directory creation to the script as well to make it more explicit 
Cheers!
Roger.

Thankyou, i got stuck on the same way. Went to sabn and restarted, switched back to radarr and hit test and it worked.
