SAB doesn't have a script setting in category settings

Post by pcgirl »

I am following the great setup videos for setting up XBMC with sab, sickbeard, couchpotato, headphones. In the video to setup Sickbeard with Sab it shows that there is a Script setting in the Categories settings but mine doesn't have that. How do I set the sickbeard processing script in Sab?

First tell SABnzbd where you scripts folder is.
Config->Folders

OK I did that. I wasn't seeing any place for the scripts on the categories configuration until I restarted my browser. Now I see it but what script am I supposed to select? Sabtosickbeard.py or sabtosickeard.exe?

Probably the exe, but you should check out SickBeard's docs.

sabtosickbeard.py for linux
sabtosickbeard.exe for Windows.

You need to edit the script as well. Best practice is to make a scripts folder in your Sab install directory. Move the AutoprocessTv folder from you sickbeard install folder to the scripts folder.

In side the autoprocessTV folder you will find.
autoProcessTV.cfg.sample rename to (note in some cases windows will hide the file extension, if so change folder view options. Uncheck Hide Extensions of known file types.)
autoProcessTV.cfg

Open this file in notepad and you will see.

[SickBeard]
host=localhost
port=8081
username=
password=
web_root=
ssl=0

If your sickbeard install is not on port 8081, edit accordingly. All else is fine as it is unless you passworided you SB or if it on a different machine.

Finally go to the folder section and set you scripts folder location. Dont forget to save changes.
Then go to the Categories section of Sab and make a new one. tv will match the default category in sickbeard.
Select the correct sabtosickbeard for your OS. Then you can test it out.

Thanks, it seems to be working now. Part of the trouble was that the scripts area in categories wasn't showing so I couldn't select a script. I restarted and then I could see it. Thanks for the help!
