LazyLibrarian: Automate your ebook/author collection

Nothing related to the database has changed. Issue would happen if you have changed files locally (perhaps changing permissions manually)

So it seems I am having trouble with a particular author and searching for books.

I can look up Robert A. Heinlein through LL with no problem, however when I select one of the books as wanted, nothing happens. I know that there are books available on my indexer, and they are in range age wise. I also can successfully mark other books as wanted from other authors and it works ok no problem.

Unfortunately the log isn't terribly helpful with a reason

Also, in regards to the post processing, would it be possible to have the post processing manually written to a script (similar to sabtosickbeard or sabtocouchpotato) so that rather than the post processor scanning the directory at a set interval, the renamer process is just called by SAB through the script? Just a thought so that the hard drives don't have to spin up each time the post processor kicks in to search for a book.

Having the post processing via a script for sab to call would be great.
Also be great if it could run through a stack of books I downloaded previously, and sort them into nicely named folders, like it does for books LL grabs
Or perhaps to create a library from a scanned directory, similar to hat flexget does (if anyone is familiar with it).

Both of these things will probably come in future however I'm still bug fixing at the moment and more providers is still a priority

Fair enough too.

When in the books view would it be possible to add the capability to search for 'Skipped' books?

[LibrarianMike]

I believe You already can using the filter

[scochr]

When i search for skipped or Skipped nothing appears

There are not many books on SickSab at the moment, could explain why?
LL does work with Newznab as it find's books on my private one and on nzbs.org which is Newznab based

i havent had any luck, with a book that i know is available on nzbs.org, how are you putting it in?

[keim]

so does LL search only for author name? everytime i try to test it it searches for author name but never a title...

[LibrarianMike]

It searches the author, caches the results and then searches those results for the title of each book. So it only makes 1 api call. The book is then downloaded if the nzb title is an 75% or greater match to the goodreads book title.

hey mike, have you had any luck getting on other search providers? I have still yet to actually get a single download to work with LL even when i know the book is available

you've done an amazing job so far btw

Perhaps share what book you're after? and what feeds you're using?
Happy to try fetch it myself tonight.
I've had no issues getting books, but I've not looked to see what's available. Might be an issue with your setup (what OS?)
