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

[Beave]

I have a pretty small suggestion for the postprocessing:

Could you copy the possible subtitle files to the final folder and also rename them as the episode, please?
I did just that with my own renameAndCopy script, but I relied on the naming of newzbin.

So, if the script would find files named like the episode with the extention
.srt
.idx
.sub
it would rename and copy those files as well (leaving the extention intact of course).

Right now the folder containing the subtitle files is just deleted, when I uncheck "Keep Folder".

Oh and for the ones asking what sickbeard can do for you...

Compaired to the rss feature in sabnzbd it
- only checks for new episodes when it's time
- does not get unnecessary double episodes, but gets needed propers
- renames and copies the eps consistantly
- checks multiple sites
- provides a web based overview on your downloaded shows

There is probably more I can't think about...

I'll read back and answer questions when I have some time but I just wanted to say that if you upgrade to rev 449 you will need to delete your cache.db.

Where can I see the revision number of Sick Beard?

If you dl the windows build it's at the top of the UI, if you run from source you can't check - if you've updated in the last few days just delete your cache.

I have no idea at all how to run this on MAC OS 10.6. Can someone make a HOWTO for MAC?

I run Sickbeard for some days now, and I love it!!! I already made a donation to show my appreciation for this great piece of work. I have used a lot of other solutions to download TV-shows automaticly, but never seen anything as advanced and well made as sickbeard!

But now I ran into a problem. When I try to add a new show I get a tvdb error:

Code: Select all

TVDB error, unable to search for show title/info: Could not connect to server http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=er&language=en: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'cache/tvdb/www.thetvdb.com,api,GetSeries.php,seriesname=er&language=en,0ed0b3c69a63aa3782e1ff86eaf694ea'

I'm not sure if I'm the only one. I'm running sickbeard alpha 1 using the python-source on a FreeBSD 8 machine. I encountered the error for the first time yesterday.

Sick Beard truly is fantastic.

I've come across one oddity, though. I'm using the Rapier theme with XBMC. If I have it scan a TV directory that does not have an NFO file, it goes out and fetches the thumbnails itself. The show 'banner' icon that Rapier uses seems to be a long narrow banner (sort of a 5 or 6 to 1 type aspect ratio).

When Sick Beard fetches that banner, it pulls a more 4:3 aspect ratio image, so when I am browsing in XBMC, that image is squished. Is there any way to customize Sick Beard to tell it to look for a different aspect ratio image?

Best sabnzbd add-on out there. The missing link between xbmc and sabnzbs. Donated as well to show my appreciation. Support for air-by-date shows would be the last  wish I have to be completely happy.

Thanks for this amazing project.

I am trying to run sickbeard on my Synology DS409.  When i try to run it with 'python SickBeard.py', I get the following error message. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

This program is epic. 

Running SABNZBD and SickBeard on my WHS server as a service and I can't be happier.
+ $10 for your and all your hard work!

Can't wait to see it mature!

Greetings,

I am having a problem. whenever I try to snatch any episode I get the following error:

23:34:33 INFO::CP Server Thread-8 :: Sending NZB to SABnzbd
23:34:33 ERROR::CP Server Thread-8 :: Unable to connect to SAB: [Errno socket error] [Errno 61] Connection refused

I am running sab in a Mac OS X 10.6.2. The Sab Host is the localhost and the port I am using is 8080. In sickbeard under port/ip I tried putting my machine's IP (10.0.1.3:8080) and also the localhost IP (127.0.0.1:8080) to no avail. I hope any of you guys can help me.

Thanks.

Have you tried 'localhost:8080' ? I know that's the only one that works for me

I'm an EB user now, but I've toyed with Sick Beard. One thing I don't care for is that the app requires folders for each download to remain in place. I prefer to delete the folders once I have watched my downloads, that is how I track what new stuff is ready to watch. Seems Sick Beard is more the type of application for people that store episodes. Is there any plans to change this in the future?
