[MrAcid]

Could you add a link to the changelog when there's an update available?

[RuudBurger]

Good point

[sacretagent]

HI ruudburger,

dunno if you follow sickbeard 's forum or not .. but we have there a problem with the tool downloading duplicates...
now most of these duplicates get intercepted by SAB 's duplicate filter
but i see that couchpotato also tries to add duplicates now ...
BUT i think in couchpotato's case it is a naming thing .. not sure though

here are a few movies couchpotato tried to send about 20 times by now

Code: Select all

the movies are still in the wanted queue from couchpotato... and so every 12 hours or so he will try to re add them

i just add it to the forum so you might have a look at it

[RuudBurger]

Could you send me the CP log? Does it say "sending to sabnzbd" for 1 movie more then once?

yes it does

Code: Select all

00:02:30,144 INFO  [app.lib.sabNzbd] Sending '4 3 2 1 (2010) BRRip XviD AC3 SANTi' to SABnzbd.

But i think the problem lays in this ....

Code: Select all

18:35:00,799 ERROR [app.lib.sabNzbd] Unable to connect to SAB.
18:34:16,009 ERROR [app.lib.sabNzbd] Unable to connect to SAB.

i have similar errors in sickbeard's logs when he goes on a backlog search ...
something about socket error... of course the log doesn't show them now that i need it to copy paste

could it be because i have a queue from about 3500 NZB's in sab ? (was 2 days ago about 4000).... (93 pages *40 nzb's a page .. today)

if you want some specs on what is in couchpotato waiting ...

Code: Select all

 362 wanted  274 snatched  150 downloaded 

and specs from sickbeard 's

Code: Select all

497 shows (197 active) | 20914/27792 episodes downloaded
Search: 0:20:57 | Backlog: Sunday 

I am what people would call "a movie and tv series hoarder" with now about 20tb of disk space if you wonder about the queue

i tried looking in sab 's forum about these socket errors but cam up empty ... i must admit though now that i have sab's tmp folder running on a raid 0 (striped only) of 2 * 500 gb drives do i have a lot of less problems... before it was running on a single 500 gb disk and that caused save errors in sab ...
although that my dld speed is for the moment about 800 KB only...  (will move to the 12mb package next month though )

Hope this is helpfull to solve the problem

[RuudBurger]

After "Sending to sab" there should me a "successful" of "failed".
If CP gets a failed, but SABnzbd does add it, it gets added again, and again, till it gets a successful every X hours.

Maybe you should only download what you watch Assuming it are all movies and tvshows, it would take you about 1 year non-stop watching to see what you have in the queue right now. Not to mention that you will add more stuff to the queue over that period

hahaha

The "grand plan " is that when i go on pension in a few years that i have something to do ...

i will be probably one of the oldest persons here on the forum

and i checked the logs since a few days no succesfull connection to sab ... (around the time i upgraded couchpotato) so gonna check my settings to be sure

[RuudBurger]

Ok, I tried using http://code.google.com/p/periscope/ for subtitles, but the results are not as expected.
That's why I think I build my own class using parts of periscope and other python based subtitle searchers. My question to you guys is, what it your normal source for subtitles.
The things I want to implement for myself are: SubtitleSource, OpenSubtitle, SubScene, Ondertitel.com
I can't promise anything, but if there is a source that can provide enough subtitles for current releases, I'll try to add it.

I also know that XBMC and other clients provide easy subtitle searches, but I want to keep it CouchPotato way and make sure the user doesn't have to do anything

[jonaskp]

How are they not as expected? Meaning it's the wrong subtitles or are the sources not good? It looks to me like the Periscope team is more than happy to help implement their module in other applications, so perhaps you could.
It just seems like a lot of work to do, if someone else already has done the most of it. Of course, if the module cannot be used at all by CP, then you will of course need to build your own.


How do you plan on searching for subtitles? Based on filenames, hash'es or something else?


For sources, I mostly uses Subscene, but that is because it has the easiest UI on the website, IMO. I can't really find anything on Opensubtitles, even though they are supposed to have a very large database - their UI to me is just not that good.
When doing this, make sure it is possible to download more than one language. Also be sure to have CP add a language post-fix to the subtitle file (it seems logical, but not al programs do this).


I am very much looking forward to subtitle support, although I suppose it is a feature that is going to take some time to code.

[RuudBurger]

For some reason it doesnt find any subtitles when searchin on original filename. While searching on the sites themselves I get enough hits.
The searching on hash works like expected.

Thats why I said "using parts of periscope and other python based subtitle searchers"

Bierdopje.com is actually pretty good for both English and Dutch subs (TV Shows).

I also use the ones you mentioned.

Might be useful:
Bierdopje XBMC subs: http://code.google.com/p/bierdopje-subtitles-xbmc/

[RuudBurger]

And why would I need tv show subtitles?

[MrAcid]

.....

Now that's really a case of the Monday's... Geez..

[JoeSmith]

any chance of implementing the possibilty to add extra search strings to help all non english guys getting the movies in their language ?

At the moment I use the subtitles add-on for XBMC, works nearly perfect with choice for a lot of supported sites.

This is also python based, so maybe it's of some help?
