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

There's no solution yet, still trying to decide the best way to deal with it.

There's no solution yet, still trying to decide the best way to deal with it.

If I may make a suggestion, why not put an override into the script that even if the file is smaller, if it contains "DVD" in the INITIAL file name, it will replace the .avi already in the folder? Same would go for .mkv for HD stuff.

I'm not sure if anyone posted an init.d script for linux start/stop capability but here's one I put together this afternoon.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: Sick Beard
# Short-Description: start/stop Sick Beard
### END INIT INFO

USER="user"
BEARD_DIR="/home/user/.sickbeard"
BEARD_IP="192.168.1.2:8081"
BEARD_USER="user"
BEARD_PASS="password"


case "$1" in
start)
  echo `date` "Starting Sick Beard."
  pushd $BEARD_DIR
  /usr/bin/sudo -u $USER -H python $BEARD_DIR/SickBeard.py &
;;
stop)
  echo `date` "Shutting down Sick Beard."
  /usr/bin/wget -q --delete-after --http-user=$BEARD_USER --http-password=$BEARD_PASS "http://$BEARD_IP/home/shutdown/"
;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
  exit 1
esac

exit 0

Modify the variables to fit your setup, save to "/etc/init.d", make executable and then add it to the appropriate startup/shutdown runtime levels as needed.

I made a google code issue so at least we will get an email when its fixed if you star it.

Cool. Thanks. Done.

Here's a start, stop, and update script for Sick Beard for use on Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux distro's. This is an amalgamation of a couple other scripts (i'll add more credits later) and I have also cleaned it up a bit and made it a little more user friendly (I hope). I'll be updating my Sick Beard guide to include this, but I still need to test it on my main system (have been testing it on my testing system only so far). But I believe it should be solid.

The script needs to be expanded in the future to have a more robust installation path. Right now it assumes Sick Beard is installed in a users Home folder in the folder ".sickbeard". I am very much a newbie in scripting so some things could likely be done much better and in a much more robust way but this should work for now. Next I want to look at JFCP's SABnzbd+ script and see if I can take some fancier stuff from that one and add it in here.

I recommend saving this to /etc/init.d/sickbeard.sh (as root).

Then run the following two lines from a terminal to get it to auto execute at system start and shutdown.

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/sickbeard.sh

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d sickbeard.sh start 30 2 3 4 5 . stop 14 0 1 6 .

Code: Select all

Is it possible to make sickbeard only download the HD version of something if the SD version isnt available? or if both are avail default to the sd version.

I'm failing miserably on getting Sickbeard to setup/run in OS X (10.6.4). It seems to be running in terminal but it keeps giving me an 500 Internal Service Error in Firefox. I'm a complete newbie to python so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any ideas on this error please? Was working fine before a pull.

I see these pop up in my log every now and again:

2010-06-17 01:06:01.116534 FINDPROPERS :: Exception generated in thread FINDPROPERS: There was an error with the XML retrieved from thetvdb.com: syntax error: line 1, column 49 First try emptying the cache folder at.. /share/MD0_DATA/Qweb/sickbeard-cachetvdb/tvdb If this does not resolve the issue, please try again later.


Can I delete the cache while SB is running? Or should I shut down SB and then delete the cache? Actually, should I even bother with this? SB has been downloading everything just fine.


Edit - I just shut down SB, deleted the cache and updated git. All seems to be well.

[fr0st]

can someone point me in the direction of a how to guide on downloading tv shows that air daily (talk shows). After I set them up they do not show on my "coming episodes" and the "next episode" column is blank.

I read somewhere that setting it to custom quality helps. Didn't do a thing.

[rascalli]

Would it be an option to have the "MISSED EPS" back ?

As sometimes SB misses some shows , and i only see it because I look at the main screen & the numbers

+1 on this... I liked that list, an option would be great.

[ontrose]

Hello, ok can anyone explain how i use the git version instead of the win32 build?
i have pulled the version from git but there is no exe flile to start the program? I am prolly quite stupid atm but i have no clue of what to do?

//Ontrose

[Sinnocence]

Newly-aired Wanted episodes will automatically get downloaded because they will be on the "new" RSS feeds for the providers. If SB isn't running when they are on the index sites' RSS feeds then they will not get searched for until the backlog runs.

SickBeard runs 24/7 here and until I updated recently (after a *long* time) it worked great. The problem I'm seeing now is that if an episode doesn't get uploaded/indexed/etc before SickBeard does its search it will not be downloaded ever unless I 'force' it manually (I can see the episode on the new RSS feed of a few sites <24 hours after SickBeard went looking).

From your post, I assume this isn't the expected behavior? Could I be missing some configuration option?

Thanks.
