Sinnocence: Well probably the easiest way would be to wrap my sabToSickbeard.exe in your own post processing script that does whatever you want after it calls the exe. Alternately you could install python, run the sabToSickbeard.py and modify it yourself to call your script (or rewrite your script in python).

mota: Unless you upgraded from a very old revision with the old-style logging I doubt the Sick Beard revision is the problem. That error isn't even in Sick Beard's code it's in python's built in logging module so I would suspect that it is an OS problem or that something to do with your logging dir has changed. If you revert to the old revision does it work?

Does SAB provide the ultimate destination location via argument? Based on this I didn't think so. There's no point doing the 'touch' on the pre-copy version of the files as the destination tree will still show the old timestamps

On an unrelated note, is it possible to specify the output filename format? Looking at the .py versions of sick I think that the output is always '#x##' - obviously the .exe on windows makes it a little harder to just 'hack' the format. Any chance of making this configurable also?

No but you could scrape the final location from the sabToSickbeard.exe output when you call it from inside your own script.

And about naming: http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/issues/detail?id=61

I upgraded from very old version. Last version working for me is version r239. I can't get Sick Beard with new logging to work.

Best regards

Try renaming your config.ini and see if that works (it'll reset the log dir). The error is an OS problem saying that the logger can't write to the output file. Aside from catching it and not crashing out there's not much I can do about it, something about your configuration is preventing python from writing the log files. I will make a new rev in the next few days that at least shouldn't crash (but won't fix whatever the problem is, it just won't log).

Thanks Midget, for your help and for the app.

Hi, few questions on how sick does the whole backlog and snatched thing.

If I have an episode in the backlog queue and at some point sick has snatched an nzb/post will sick scan for this episode again?
Does sick know if something fails to download in sab?
Does it blacklist a post that fails and omit it from the next backlog scan?

Question comes after a couple of incomplete posts have been downloaded, wondered if sick would go grab the same incomplete post the next time it runs the backlog.

Hi,

I've used your program for a couple of days and i really like it. I've got one problem though. I use nzbs.org as a search provider, when i try to search for a episode i missed i get the following message:
When i copy paste the used url from the logs to my browser and visit the url i can view the RSS feed which contains several search hits. I can view this RSS feed when i'm logged out off the site and cleared my cookies. I have entered the right UID and hash. I know i can use other sites but i like nzbs.org  :)

[edit]

When it searches for episodes which have not yet been aired it does not log the error mentioned above.

Currently it would set it to snatched and if it fails in sab it would just stay as snatched forever, you'd have to set it back to backlog if you want it to try again. It doesn't blacklist the post and try a different one but that's coming later.

It probably works in your browser because your browser is logged in - any auth or no auth at all would work in your browser when you're logged in. Like the error says, probably your uid/hash are incorrect (uid is not username).

Hi, thats why i said my browser was logged out. I even used that URL on a different computer and i could still view the RSS feed, which is the way it is supposed to work because the url to the feed contains the auth info. Thats why its strange to me that SickBeard says it does not have any auth info, and thus does not retrieve the search hits it gets. I have used my numeric ID for UID, and obtained my hash from the cookie file.

It not a big problem but as i said before, i like using nzbs.org.

Hey Midget,

Flipping great program tbh, does everything needed I have a couple of errors when trying to click into a couple of shows, the shows are 24 and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation I get these errors respectively

24:
CSI:
All other shows seem to be fine though

Could someone convince me to use Sick Beard?

Why is it better than Media Rover?  Is it easier to configure? More accurate?  More features?

Will it look at what I already have (like media rover) or is it just a "new episode" downloader?

Hmm sorry, I guess I should read more carefully. The error Sick Beard is giving isn't that it couldn't view the feed but that the results returned don't have any auth info on them. The NZBs.org feed works with no authentication, it's the links to download the NZB files that require authentication. If your auth info is correct then there will be auth info on the NZB download links, so I check that to determine if your auth is correct or not. In your case it sounds like you're using the hash from the cookie rather than the hash given in the RSS help page.

EDIT: Can you send me your DB and tell me the URL that gives you the error?

Hi
I am having trouble adding Brothers & Sisters to the Add Shows list.
I keep getting the following error

It seems to be picking up the wrong show ID from somewhere as the correct one is 79506.

Help.

Great program I have been using it for quite some time.

This is a bug with theTVDB.com that I (well tvdb_api really) am not handling well. I've posted on their forums and hopefully they'll fix it soon.
