Does anyone know how to config Sick Beard to file sizes per show? Let's say I want to only grab a file that is between 200-400Mb? That way it doesn't grab a 1.5gb file.

Thanks,
Mike

I hope someone can help.

My SabNZBd has a completed download folder of L:\Media\Video
When I download stuff in the category TV the avi/mkv goes to L:\Media\Video\TV (as the category TV goes to subfolder TV).  All other files (NFO, etc are deleted).  This is fine.

But I can't get Sick Beard to do any post processing on the files.

I have set the SabNZBd post processing to: C:\Program Files (x86)\SickBeard-win32-alpha-build446\autoProcessTV

I have ticked "Rename Episodes" and "Scan & Process TV Download Dir" in Sick Beard.

All I want is for SickBeard to rename the file with the episode name and move it to L:\Media\Video\TV\SHOWNAME ...

Obviously I have all the shows indexed in Sick Beard first and it knows where the episodes I already have are.

can anyone help?

Yup. I added the start and stop commands to the sabnzbd.sh script@

# starting sabnzbd…
/sbin/chroot_init “/etc/init.d/sabnzbd-main.sh” start
RETVAL=$?
/bin/sleep 5
/sbin/daemon_mgr sickbeard1 start “python /share/Public/Sick/SickBeard.py –quiet”   <-----added line

#!/bin/sh
#------------------------------------------
# sabstart
#
# use this script to start SABnzbd in deamon
# mode.

export PATH="$PATH:$DIR/utils/bin:$DIR/sab";

rm -rf $DIR/log/*
rm -rf $DIR/sab/logs/*



# first, find ip or hostname
IPaddr="";
port="";

# get it out sab.ini
if [ -r $DIR/sab/sab.ini ]; then
	IPaddr=`/bin/get_key_value $DIR/sab/sab.ini host`
fi

# or just use 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces, scary if you have multiple interfaces...) 
if [ "$IPaddr" = "" ]; then
	IPaddr="0.0.0.0"
fi

# same goes for port
if [ -r $DIR/sab/sab.ini ]; then
	port=`/bin/get_key_value $DIR/sab/sab.ini port`
fi
if [ "$port" = "" ]; then
	port=9200
fi

# adjust admin url in INFO file of package to reflect configured port number
cat $DIR/../INFO | sed "s/^adminport.*$/adminport="$port"/g" > /tmp/$$port.txt
mv /tmp/$$port.txt $DIR/../INFO


# needed if not called via packagemanager
if [ "$SERVER_ADDR" = "" ]; then
	SERVER_ADDR=`hostname`

I am new to all this but I think you need to have Sab download the files to a completely seperate folder and then Sickbeard will process them. At the moment it looks like SB is trying to process the same files/folders.

On my setup Sab downloads the files to C:\Downloads\Need Sorting when Sickbeard process's these files they are renamed and moved to c:\Downloads\TV\*Series Name*\*Season*

From what I can tell you need to think of the folder that sab downloads the files to as a temp folder which sickbeard will process and delete all the guff once it's finished.

Hope that makes sense.

Output from user script "sabToSickBeard.py" (Exit code = 1):
ionice: execvp failed: No such file or directory

Just to clarify.

In sab (under config/switches) on my setup the following are ticked:

Enable Quick Check
Enable Unrar
Enable TS Joining
Enable Par Cleanup
Only Get Articles for Top of Queue

Should I leave them ticked or untick them?

Thanks
