Can someone tell me if this is an appropriate way to set up the task?

Windows Task Scheduler:



Because it's cut off in the screenshot, the rest of the "start in" field is this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\scripts\mediarover

I have it set to start at 7:00 AM (when I'm sleeping), then once it starts, re-run every one hour.  It uses pythonw.exe to run in the background so I don't see it at all.  It seems to work fine when I manually run it.

Unless there's an easier way, this seems to work?







Also, it's displaying some errors in sab using the sabnzb.bat script file.  Can someone take a look?

Code: Select all

And, how do I make it skip downloading certain episodes that are NOT on my hard drive?  I already watched them before I discovered Mediarover

Ok,
Everything is working, except the sorting script.
When I run it nothing happens? Nothing is generated to the log file...
I'm on windows 7 and took the bat example, and tried modifying it various ways, including hardcoding the absolute folder locations for the python, config files, etc...
I setup sabnzbd to process the script, but its like nothing is happening...

fixed, ignore this

Still using this, love it, would be better with a gui, even if it's just something simple, I would recommend it to friends but it might be too tricky for some.

Same here. Before i did my first install i also wanted GUI soo bad... but now that i've actually gone through the install i find configuring and installing easy.
Perfect script , only "feature" as far as TV shows go i think Media Rover is missing,  is SD/HD options , which kierse said he's looking into.

I have the mediarover scheduler working now, but the episode naming still isn't doing anything.

My renaming config is default other than

series_episode = '$(series)s - $(season_episode_2)s$(smart_title)s'

and I pointed the sab TV category at episodesort.py.

I'm on OSX and I did chmod a+x (does this give the right user priveleges?) on the scripts directory.

Did I miss something?

In that sabnzbd log it doesn't mention episodesort.py at all, so it doesn't look as though its even attempting to call it and failing :/

You need to point Sab to sabnzbd_episode_sort_example.py or .bat in your mediarover/scripts directory. I renamed this file to sabnzbd_episode_sort.py and placed it somewhere else, but that isn't necessary. I believe you're going to need to edit a few of the settings, but if you've gotten this far it shouldn't be too difficult. Hope this helps.

Hi notho

After returning from my trip, and while checking out the new items Sabnzbd and Media Rover fetched for me I found myself creating shortcuts (yeah this is a windows machine) by going through the Sabnzbd history and looking up each episode.  I like the shortcuts because as I watch the shows, I can delete the shortcut, it's sort of a bookmark.  I got to thinking this would be a perfect thing to add to the sorting script, creating a shortcut in a central location for each new ep downloaded.  I looked into it briefly but I didn't see a clear path to creating windows shortcuts through Python without adding something like the Python Windows Extensions http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ which seemed a bit of overkill to me so I am throwing it out as a request for a new feature.

This is something I've considered in the past, though I must admit I've never been thrilled with the idea of using a shortcut/symlink.  One solution that has been discussed would be to update MR to allow the user to put a series folder under multiple root directories.  Currently, MR generates a warning message if the same series is found under more than one root folder.  Changing this would allow you to have new (unwatched) episodes downloaded to one folder and allow you to move them to another once they've been watched.  Thoughts?

Hey walley007,

Any idea how i'd get sorting script do the following : ( with ignore_series_metadata= True )

"show name","show name (US)" and "show.name.US" go to "/tv/Show name/Season x/showname SxxExx.avi"

and

"show name UK" and "show.name.UK" go to "/tv/Show name UK/Season x/showname SxxExx.avi"

1. create the following folders for the shows in question:
Show Name
Show Name UK

2. create the following filter in the config file

[[ filters ]]
  [[[ show name ]]]
      alias = show name US

3. run MR

Why this should work:
1. with ignore_metadata set to True, MR will ignore (US).  Therefore, "show name" and "show name (US)" will both match to a folder named "show name"
2. the alias tells MR that "show name US" should also match to "show name"
3. "show name UK" and "show.name.UK" already match to the folder "show name UK"

Apparently there is a bug (unconfirmed by me at this point) with the sorting script when aliases are in use so it's possible this will not work, you'll have to give it a whirl.

Hopefully that helps.  Let me know if something doesn't work as expected.

Kierse there's one feature i'd like and that is the ability to replace 720p releases of x days old with xvid ones.
Also newzbin now has a public search api, why not use that instead of rss? This way you can search through your entire retention for old tv shows rather than just the latest 200 (or whatever ammount is listed in rss)

I really love this program

[kierse]

Hi seriosbrad,

Unless there's an easier way, this seems to work?

That seems correct, though its been quite a while since I set up a windows task.  Windows users, does anyone see a problem here?

Also, it's displaying some errors in sab using the sabnzb.bat script file.  Can someone take a look?

Code: Select all

Error: Destination path 'F:\tv\.trash\Season 5\Season 5' already exists
 

I believe this problem was addressed in MR 0.4.1.  Upgrade and let me know if you still see this error

And, how do I make it skip downloading certain episodes that are NOT on my hard drive?  I already watched them before I discovered Mediarover

MR supports skipping full seasons and does not currently support excluding specific episodes.  An idea that has been put forward by another user is to have a flag in the series filters telling MR to only download new episodes.  My guess is that something like this would meet your needs, thoughts?

Hi hayesb2

Are you still having troubles getting the sorting script to work?

When I run it nothing happens? Nothing is generated to the log file...
I'm on windows 7 and took the bat example, and tried modifying it various ways, including hardcoding the absolute folder locations for the python, config files, etc...
I setup sabnzbd to process the script, but its like nothing is happening...

Unless python is in your path (unlikely unless you added it), you'll need to use the sabnzbd_episode_sort.bat.example file.  Here's what you'll need to do:

1. make a copy of sabnzbd_episode_sort.bat.example and rename its extension to just bat (ie. sabnzbd_episode_sort.bat).  This tells windows the file can be executed

2. populate the file variables with your installation specific values:

ROOT = this is the location of MR on your hard drive.  The default is %PROGRAMFILES%\mediarover (which in most systems will be C:\Program Files\mediarover).  If you installed MR somewhere else, update this value to reflect this (ie. C:\mediarover)

PYTHON = this is the location of the python executable on your hard drive.  The windows installer puts python in C:\Python2X (which is why the default is %HOMEDRIVE%\Python26\pythonw.exe).  Again, you'll need to change this if you installed python somewhere other than the default.

CONFIG = this is the location of the MR config directory.  If you just had MR install the configs to the default location, don't worry about this variable, the script sets the correct location.  If you specified a config path when you setup MR (ie. # python mediarover.py --write-configs -c C:\some\path) you'll need to set this variable to that value (ie. CONFIG = C:\some\path)

3. Try running the script at the command line.  You should get an error message that basically says "Warning: must provide 7 arguments when invoking X".  If you get this, the sorting script is properly configured.

4. Put this shell script in the SABnzbd user scripts directory (SABnzbd config > folders).

5. Select the sorting script for downloads with a category of TV (SABnzbd config > categories).

That should be it.  If all goes well SABnzbd should call the sorting script for TV downloads and MR should sort them properly.

1. try running the sorting script from the command line:  python episodesort.py.  Do you an error message like the following: "Warning: must provide 7 arguments when invoking X"

2. Are the nzbs being scheduled by MR getting the appropriate category?

Hey Shady,

Kierse there's one feature i'd like and that is the ability to replace 720p releases of x days old with xvid ones.

Interesting, I'm in the process of working on the quality management system.  Once it's done something like this shouldn't be too difficult.  I'll create a new feature request in the project tracker.

Also newzbin now has a public search api, why not use that instead of rss? This way you can search through your entire retention for old tv shows rather than just the latest 200 (or whatever ammount is listed in rss)

I had planned to look at the API when I got back to working on the UI (which will happen once the quality management system is in place).  I don't know if I'll replace RSS entirely (as not all indexing sites provide an API) but it is definitely worth looking at.
