Sickbeard and SABNZBD on separate machines/OSes?

Post by locust76 »

Hello,

As a test I have installed Sickbeard on a server running Debian out in the internet. At home I have a Windows PC that runs SABNZBd. I can have the Debian Sickbeard pass an NZB on to SAB just fine and if I have sorting enabled on SAB, it gets put in the right folder, however the file isn't named properly. I'd like to have "Show Title - S01E01 - Episode Name," but it just does "Show Title - S01E01 - x264bunchofbullcraphereLOLHDTVetc.avi"

I am currently attempting to get SAB to use the sabtosickbeard.exe script to pull the data from Sickbeard, but every time it does I get a 404 from the Sickbeard server:

Code: Select all

Loading config from C:\Programme\SABnzbd\scripts\autoProcessTV.cfg
Opening URL: http://serverip:8081/home/postprocess/processEpisode?nzbName=Show.Name.S11E07.HDTV.x264-LOL.nzb&quiet=1&dir=d%3A%5Cshares%5C%F6ffentlich%5CShow.Name.S11E07.HDTV.x264-LOL


<html>

    <head>

        <title>404</title>

        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

          <!--

          location.href = "/"

          //-->

        </script>

    </head>

    <body>

        <br/>

    </body>

The tutorial at http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/wiki/PostProcessing tells me:
Note: If your SABnzbd+ is running on a different PC than your Sick Beard you may need to enter your TV download dir into your Sick Beard settings so that Sick Beard knows how to find the SABnzbd+ downloads.
But how is that even supposed to work if the two installs are:
a) on separate machines
b) on separate networks
and
c) using separate OSes?

Or am I doing something horribly wrong here?
