Sick Beard (ALPHA) - Download/sort/rename episodes, XBMC/growl integration, more

It appears that the latest version ( r312 ) overwrote all of my fanart and posters. Has this happened to anyone else? I put a lot of time and effort in to choosing that artwork and now I must manually redo it. I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional ( if so, why? ), but it'd be great if Sick Beard only grabbed fanart/posters that were missing and not actually overwrote any existing files.

Bug, should be fixed in the next build (or r321).

Excellent!

And thanks for looking in to my previous request of supporting other XBMC-supported double episode naming schemes. I look forward to whenever that is implemented so I no longer have this problem:

Keep up the great work! I certainly appreciate all the effort you put in to this excellent tool.

[midgetspy]

I made some changes in r325 that should allow this type of naming. I did little/no testing though so I'm not going to make a new build yet - if you run from source feel free to give it a shot though.

That's not a supported file structure so no there's no way to get SB to do that for you. Why would you want every episode in a separate folder anyway?

If you mean SB isn't deleting the old SAB download folders it should be, unless you have "Keep folder after processing" checked in the config.

No, it's just the way I've had SABNZBd set up to sort the shows. Not a dealbreaker at all, I think it's just handy to keep the show/nfo/etc files together in a single folder. Makes copying an episode to a USB stick or drive simple too.

Thanks for this, just switched off my HellaVCR install in favour of SB.

I'm not an XBMC user, prefer Mediabrowser and MCE, would great if you could add support for creation of the series.xml and show xml files used by a MCE setup. Save me running metabrowser against my tv folders every few days.

Are they the same as the XBMC metadata files but with different names?

Just wanted to say thanks for the extra double episode naming convention support! I have tested it on several shows so far and the "1x01-1x02" format is working as expected. It's great!

The only issue I've run in to so far involves three unaired episodes being incorrectly recognized as an earlier double episode for some reason, and neither Refresh nor Force Full Update seems to resolve it.

Yeah the problem is that they were incorrectly filled in when the regex was broken and there's no mechanism to retroactively fix them. To force a fix you could delete & re-add the show, or rename that episode, do a refresh, and name it back and refresh again. Or when you get proper episodes for those files they'll get replaced.

Running R364, the backlog search button no longer works.

Also, is there any way of forcing double digit season numbers? I'm getting Season 1 and Season 01.

[midgetspy]

You need to be way more specific... which button? Force backlog, moving an episode to backlog, the backlog page, ?? And define doesn't work. What does it not do that it should do? Finally, post a log of it not doing whatever it's supposed to do.

And forcing double digit season numbers where? When renaming files? Displaying names? Searching RSS? Season folders?

[-pete-]

Just wondering if it would be possible to set a primary search provider in a future version, I prefer my stuff from tvnzb but its nice to have a backup.

Anyways, keep up to good work! This program has already made all this stuff so much easier

[midgetspy]

Yep, it's on the way eventually: http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/issues/detail?id=103

Is it possible to have SickBeard run a custom script after it has finished on Windows? I can't see an existing option for it but it would be handy (passing the input arguments + destination clean/new full file path info to the script).

I have kinda a fringe case. My current setup isn't ideal - I download on my desktop and copy to a NAS for storage. I'd like to be able to sort by time, to see the latest additions to a folder, but parent directories don't inherit their child modified timestamp. For example, if I add a file 'd.file' to \\server\media\a\b\c\d.file the timestamp of folder 'c' is updated, but the timestamp of folders 'a' and 'b' are not. I wrote a small PHP script to traverse the tree back up to the specified root and create&delete a file in each directory to force a timestamp update, which is fine... but I have no way of passing it the destination path details? If I was on another platform I could modify your scripts to do it I'm sure but windows just has the sabToSickBeard.exe.

Or is there a better way I can go about this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have problem with version 365. After I upgraded to 365 I can't run Sick Beard in background, after I log off it starts to do following. Web server part is running, but when I try to get show details on home page I get following errors:

Code: Select all

Part that should get new episodes is also not working. I am using FreeBSD 8.

Thanks in advance
