Media Rover

[avatarr]

I figured it out. The reason I was having issues was because I never configured a post-processing scripts folder for sabnzbd since I wasn't running any scripts. What was confusing me was the fact that if you leave that particular part blank, the categories tab doesn't show a column for scripts (this is why I wasn't seeing this option). I changed the mediarover.conf file to make the category mediarover and created a category in sabnzbd called "mediarover" with the post-processing script episodesort.py and it seems to be working wonderfully. The last step is to set up a cron job to periodically scan for new shows. This is great. I love that it works so seamlessly. Great work and I look forward to the upcoming enhancements.

Just letting y'all know how excited I am about the upcoming Media Rover release!!

Hi Everyone,

I have finished my config file as follows:

Code: Select all

[tv]
	# tv root directory
	# directory containing all tv shows to watch for
	# NOTE: multiple directories can be specified but must be comma separated 
	tv_root = "/volume1/video/TV",

I am getting an error when trying to install mediarover that I haven't defined a tv root directory, but as you see above, I have. Here is the error:

Code: Select all

Figured this out. I had to move my mediarover.config file to my /root/.mediarover directory. Anyways, now comes a different error. Any help?

Very similar to the above. Running MR on OSX.

I get the following error when executing `python mediarover.py`

Traceback (most recent call last):

Running against python version 2.6.4. But I have also tried against 2.5.1 and v3.

I stand corrected. It seems OSX doesn't like files built on windows machines and copied to it remotly. Redid my config on the machine itself and it works ok now.


Except for the sorting script which gives the following error

Now i assume it wont/can't delete the folder due to their being a srr file in the folder.

Would adding srr to the file list in the config resolve this problem?

[jansverre]

Hi. I have been using mediarover for some time now and love it. However after the crap with newzbin nothing is downloaded for me anymore. Therefore I tried seting up with nzbs.org and nzbmatrix.com - I make rss feed with api keys and everything as I think I am supposed to after reading on their websites, but I get many errors like unsupported item title format and when it finds series Im watchin it givves me a socket error (??) error no 10061 can't conect to target host and then a lot of error messages ..

Anyone knows what Im doing wrong here?

never mind :p it helps to set root to localhost instead of loalhost

[jmagg]

MR is not using my .ignore files. I'm sure it is probably user error. I woke up to a whole season downloaded that I already have. (I move past seasons to a different drive.) I have the .ignore file in the series folder. Should it be in the season folder?
e.g. Show name/.ignore/Season 4 or Show name/Season 4/.ignore?

BTW, Kierse, you rock.

jmagg

no. .ignore file has to be in /tv/show_name/.ignore

you specify which seasons you want to ignore INSIDE the file. re-read kierse' instructions.

When u run python -mediarover.py in Terminal you'll see in the beginning how many and which .ignore files MR found.

MR uses a third part library to parse the config file.  It appears to be dying because you have a duplicate section name in your config file.  Make sure you don't have have any duplicate sections names (lines wrapped in [ ] are sections, ie. [tv], [source], etc).  If you can't find any problems, post your config and I'll have a look at it.

Are you running the latest release of Media Rover, 0.4.1?  I thought this problem had been corrected.  In any case, you can ignore it as MR has already successfully sorted the episode.

Now i assume it wont/can't delete the folder due to their being a srr file in the folder.
Would adding srr to the file list in the config resolve this problem?

Yes, that's correct.  MR consults the list of ignored_extensions (in your config file) when cleaning up after an episode is sorted.  It deletes any/all files with an extensions found in this list.  If it finds a file that isn't in the list, it moves the containing directory to a special .trash directory located in your first configured tv root folder.  If you add srr to the ignored_extensions list, it will be able to delete the original download folder in the future.

Hey jmagg,

As wally007 already mentioned, the .ignore files go in the series directory, not the season.  This feature is (I suspect) little used and poorly documented (as most things are with MR ) so let me try and improve that a bit:

.ignore files

• go in the series directory
• allow you to ignore an entire series by placing a * in the file, or
• allow you to ignore specific seasons by placing each season number on its own line

Thanks Kierse,

I am indeed using the 0.4.1 release. Although the error occurs all the files get moved  correctly. So it doesn't appear to be a problem :s


Works great tho I was previously running RSS feeds to keep my shows updated, but i kept getting duplicates, MR saves my bandwidth! \o/

[mrgreaper]

ok i have just ditched episode butler (rip little butler) due to the delay in getting episodes from newzbin now

i emailed the creator of media rover with some questions but got no reply (not surprising or annoying, people are busy)
so i thought "ill quickly try it"
4 hours later im pulling my hair out

		# NOTE: defaults to False
		#aggressive = False

		# prefer multiepisode files over individual files
		#
		# ATTENTION: this flag works in conjunction with the aggressive flag above.  It is ignored
		# unless the aggressive flag is set.  A value of True indicates that you prefer multiepisodes
		# over single episodes whenever possible.  A value of False indicates that you prefer single
		# episodes over multiepisodes whenever possible.  When the aggressive flag is set, Media 
		# Rover will make all attempts to see that your specified preference (single or multi episodes)

this is my sort_script which is chmod 777 ed and in the script folder of sabnzbd and selected inside sabnzbd for the tv section

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

#OSX hack: SABnzbd on Mac OSX comes bundled with all Python libraries
#necessary for its function. Because of this, SABnzbd sets PYTHONHOME
#to point to its own Python libraries. This causes a problem for Media
#Rover due to the fact that some of the key Python libraries are not
#bundled. Therefore, we delete PYTHONHOME before invoking Media Rover
unset PYTHONHOME

#filesystem path where Media Rover is installed
ROOT=/home/mrgreaper/mediarover/

#filesystem path to configuration directory
CONFIG=/home/mrgreaper/.mediarover/ (NOTE i did have this set to the default but got the same error)

python $ROOT/episodesort.py -c “$CONFIG” “$1” “$2” “$3” “$4” “$5” “$6” “$7”

my sabnzbd is 5.2rc1 (ubuntu updated it to that today as i was using 4.12)

ok my problems

1) the sorting script errors with ,
ERROR: configuration directory (“/home/mrgreaper/.mediarover/”) does not exist. Do you need to run `python mediarover.py --write-configs`?
when i had it set to default it errored with ...
ERROR: configuration directory (“/home/mrgreaper/.mediarover”) does not exist. Do you need to run `python mediarover.py --write-configs`?

.mediarover folder does exist
python mediarover.py --write-configs was run

2) every time i run it, it send the same episodes to sabnzbd (even though they have already been downloaded and are sitting in the root of my tv folder then exits ! i now have 4 copys of 3 identacle episodes with .1 .2 .3 after there name

3)its downloading episodes older then the ones i have (ie im on season 9 of small ville its downloaded two eps of season 2!

4) as it exits i cant get into the UI (192.168.1.119:8081 shows failed to connect)

so umm how do i fix these and how do i get it to stop quiting so i can view the UI?

also how do i make it start at boot up?

There's no UI. Just conf file you need to set up.

If MR is downloading duplicated , it means it cant recognize your previous files. I've yet to get duplicate with MR and i've been using it for almost 6 months.

My file naming scheme matches that of MR file naming scheme i chose ( you can choose how MR will rename your files in conf file )

		# aggressively schedule downloads based on prefer flag
		# WARNING: SETTING THIS OPTION TO TRUE MAY RESULT IN EPISODES BEING DELETED
		#
		# when set to True, Media Rover becomes more aggressive in scheduling downloads and 
		# cleaning up unnecessary data.  Here's how it's used:
		#
		#   If you prefer single episodes =>
		#      aggresive = True
		#      prefer = False
		#    
		#    - this will cause Media Rover to download single episodes that already exist on disk 
		#      as part of a multiepisode.  Once all the individual parts are on disk, Media Rover
		#      will attempt to delete the multiepisode
		#
		#  If you prefer multiepisodes =>
		#     aggressive = True
		#     prefer = True
		#
		#   - this will cause Media Rover to download multiepisodes when available and attempt
		#     to delete any/all individual episodes.
		#
		# NOTE: defaults to False
		#aggressive = False

		# prefer multiepisode files over individual files
		#
		# ATTENTION: this flag works in conjunction with the aggressive flag above.  It is ignored
		# unless the aggressive flag is set.  A value of True indicates that you prefer multiepisodes
		# over single episodes whenever possible.  A value of False indicates that you prefer single
		# episodes over multiepisodes whenever possible.  When the aggressive flag is set, Media 
		# Rover will make all attempts to see that your specified preference (single or multi episodes)
		# is met.
		#
		# NOTE: defaults to False
		#prefer = True
