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

[drak0]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to config Sick Beard to file sizes per show? Let's say I want to only grab a file that is between 200-400Mb? That way it doesn't grab a 1.5gb file.

Thanks,
Mike

I would love to see this feature as well - I hate grabbing a 43min HD tv show that is ~4gig...

really great work on Sick Beard! I love it!

Finally I could bring myself to setup a media center, now having everything named in a consistant manner.

The size-limit per epispde feature would be a good addition. Especially on some newer releases where they upload like 6gb per ep BluRay rips.

Right I have sorted my folders issue and sickbeard seems to be working perfectly.

At the moment Sab and Sickbeard are running on a dedicated server which I use to download everything. All my movies and TV shows are stored on my WHS. Normally sab would download the various files on the server and I would then clean up the files and transfer over to the WHS.

Does anything know of a program or script which I could run periodically on my server to move the TV show files across to the WHS without deleting the folders (as Sickbeard will need these going forward)?

Hello,

I hope someone can help.

My SabNZBd has a completed download folder of L:\Media\Video
When I download stuff in the category TV the avi/mkv goes to L:\Media\Video\TV (as the category TV goes to subfolder TV).  All other files (NFO, etc are deleted).  This is fine.

But I can't get Sick Beard to do any post processing on the files.

I have set the SabNZBd post processing to: C:\Program Files (x86)\SickBeard-win32-alpha-build446\autoProcessTV

I have ticked "Rename Episodes" and "Scan & Process TV Download Dir" in Sick Beard.

All I want is for SickBeard to rename the file with the episode name and move it to L:\Media\Video\TV\SHOWNAME ...

Obviously I have all the shows indexed in Sick Beard first and it knows where the episodes I already have are.

can anyone help?

I am new to all this but I think you need to have Sab download the files to a completely seperate folder and then Sickbeard will process them. At the moment it looks like SB is trying to process the same files/folders.

On my setup Sab downloads the files to C:\Downloads\Need Sorting when Sickbeard process's these files they are renamed and moved to c:\Downloads\TV\*Series Name*\*Season*

From what I can tell you need to think of the folder that sab downloads the files to as a temp folder which sickbeard will process and delete all the guff once it's finished.

Hope that makes sense.

If you're using Windows, make sure you've set the Default User script to sabToSickBeard.exe in sabnzdb (Under config/switches).  Set it to sabToSickBeard.py if using Linux.

Just to clarify.

Enable Par Cleanup
Only Get Articles for Top of Queue

Should I leave them ticked or untick them?

Was anyone successful with getting SickBeard to start/stop with SABnzbd? I'm running both on my Synology NAS and would love to have SickBeard start/stop automatically instead of having the terminal open all the time on my home computer.

Thanks,
Mike

Yup. I added the start and stop commands to the sabnzbd.sh script@

# starting sabnzbd…
/sbin/chroot_init “/etc/init.d/sabnzbd-main.sh” start
RETVAL=$?
/bin/sleep 5
/sbin/daemon_mgr sickbeard1 start “python /share/Public/Sick/SickBeard.py –quiet”  <-----added line

Mike, you can put the sickbeard startup command line in the SABnzbd startup file. If you installed SABnzbd from the package intended for the Synology NAS', you'll find that file here:

/var/packages/sab2/target/scripts/sabstart.sh

[Zypher82]

Yup. I added the start and stop commands to the sabnzbd.sh script@

# starting sabnzbd…
/sbin/chroot_init “/etc/init.d/sabnzbd-main.sh” start
RETVAL=$?
/bin/sleep 5
/sbin/daemon_mgr sickbeard1 start “python /share/Public/Sick/SickBeard.py –quiet”   <-----added line

Thanks geebee. Maybe my .sh file is a little different, I'm not sure where to enter the /sbin/daemon_mgr sickbeard1 start “python /share/Public/Sick/SickBeard.py –quiet line?

I am having a similar problem... i have downloads going to a separate folder, have the scripts turned on (win 7 so using the sickbeardtosab.exe )

Here's an error message i get from SABNZBD.  note that i have email notifications turned on, here's a copy of a problem email

last comments:  i have edited the above to hide the show name, but its Jxxxxxxxxxx for example.  Also, the port 8090 is the port which sickbeard is running on... i had this also set to 8081 before which is the sabnzbd port but got the same error message...

s anyone else getting the above error in SAB during the post-processing? It was working fine until I did the latest git-pull on the main trunk.
Doing a manul post-process works fine.  Any ideas?

Those are the default settings, so leave them checked.

Thanks everyone for the help, I've got it working.
Grither - I'm afraid I can't help with your program, but maybe it's a Windows 7 firewall setting?

Does anyone know if it's possible to connect to the various search providers using HTTPS?
