You specify what servers you connect to, I don't see how "they" moved you...
For no reason (I didn't change anything) I started seeing news.eu(something).supernews.com in the status, but I didn't notice it before. They decided that I was closer to Europe than America, so suddenly I was using the European servers from Korea, which caused a slow down. I saw this once before almost 2 years ago (still when I was in Korea), but forgot that it had happened. Now I seem to be back on the American servers even though it's still resolving like above because I'm getting ~4.5 MB/sec again.

This is how I did it:

Install Python 2.7.
Download and unzip Cheetah somewhere, navigate to the folder in the command prompt and type "setup install" and let it do it's stuff. (I'm stuck a little bit here where it says that it couldn't complie the C binaries. The thing still works as pure Python but apparently it's slower than if the C binaries complied).
Install Git.
Install TortiseGit.
Create a folder for where you want Sickbeard to be installed, right click on the folder and select 'Git Clone' and then paste this in the link: "https://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard.git" and click ok.
Then select the folder with the green tick and click 'Git sync'.
When sync is done, Sick-beard is installed.

Errmm..the status shows which server the article was originally uploaded too (if it is the status page that lists each connection that you are talking about). If you have the US server address in the settings you will be connecting to that one at least address wise you will be. Unless supernews auto connects you to one based on location but i do not think Sab will know that.

I just love this retarded "they decided".

Unless the news.supernews.com is a load balanced IP that includes both US and European servers in it, you are connecting to the USA.

It doesn't load balance US and European servers because then there is no point in having different addresses for the different geographical locations.

But that's conceivably more technical than most people could work out, though only by a very narrow margin. What's more funny is the ridiculous rage at "them" for changing his connection. Christ almighty.

I think I might just be having a bad day and blowing this out of proportion.

I've got this same "problem" on my Solaris server, it comes down to having the same C compiler installed that was used to compile Python. Basically, don't loving worry about it.

Can you specify the American server IP address rather than news.supernews.com or whatever?

I'm having issues importing downloads because it's saying something about the XML from tvdb being hosed up.

It did this once before though, and I had to manually copy and import it into xbmc. I assume it's just tvdb being lovely, since the episode title in tvdb/sickbeard is different from those on all the nzb sites.

Go to the Servers config page and click Test Server. If it fails, your password is probably wrong or you set the server up wrong. Otherwise you could be downloading something that has been taken down, but in that case I think it would appear to be downloading, just at 0kb/s. I assume yours just isn't doing anything at all.

That looks like a firewall issue than a news server problem TBH. Something is blocking Sab from connecting.

Hey I'm new to all of this but got pretty dang far with a fellow goon's help. I did have a question though, about SickBeard. I'm on a Mac, and know nothing of scripting or any of that... is there a simple way to get Sickbeard & SAB to start on login?

And will either have any issues when my Mac sleeps?

Thanks! :)

For SABnzbd, you can add it as a login item, and I used this method to start SickBeard at login.

I am not sure how SABnzbd, SickBeard, and the Mac sleeping play together though (my hackintosh doesn't sleep).

So I rebooted after doing this. I saw Sickbeard executing something in my menu bar. (a gear, probably the Automator script thingy...) but then Sickbeard never opened. Is that normal? How do I access it and/or know it's running?

Just go to localhost:port in a browser and see if it's open.

edit: /\ /\ :arghfist::mad:

Open a browser and go to http://localhost:8081

Tick the Launch Browser checkbox in Config, General if you want it to open automatically.

edit2: if your computer sleeps, it won't be searching or downloading episodes. Sick Beard searches for current and recent episodes every hour (by default) and does full backlog searches periodically. If your computer is only sporadically awake, that might cause searches to fail. You can force searches, either in Manage, Manage Searches or in Backlog Overview, by restarting Sick Beard, or by going to a show and clicking the little magnifying glass to the right of a particular episode. So it shouldn't break it, but might make it less like a seamless PVR.

SABnzbd should keep it awake while it's in the process of downloading, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Ah, I see. Yes it comes up if I do that. Last little question. If I reboot and this Automator script boots up SickBeard and I don't see anything and don't bother to go to localhost:port, is it still able to send its commands and do what it's supposed to? Or must I open a browser and leave it up?

[edut] oh I didn't see the latest post. Thanks. Yeah I have launch browser checked in config but it doesn't seem to be doing that on boot.

Ah I think I fixed it? -d is daemon mode but for whatever reason won't open the browser. If I add the command a second time to the Automator script without the -d, it opens the browser and loads Sickbeard.

You don't need the browser open or anything. Sickbeard just sits there in the background doing it's thing. Just bookmark localhost:port for whenever you want to check out your shows or add a new one or whatever.

I sorta figured that but being new to this I wanted to be able to know it was running rather than realize I'd taken for granted it was but it wasn't. Duly noted, though. Thanks! :)

Between Sickbeard and SAB (and also CouchPotato) is there a way they can email me? I see all these other methods; Twitter, BoxCar, Growl... etc. Can it be emailed or something simple like that?

I recently upgraded to SickBeard running from source. I'm using the sabToSickBeard.py script which works fine in moving and renaming but I've noticed that a copy of the downloaded files remain in my completed folder which I'm sure it didn't happen when I was running the complied version. Did I forget to tick an option somewhere that'll automatically delete the unwanted files?

There's an option something like keep files after post processing, you want to keep that unchecked.

It could be a locking issue that Sickbeard can't delete the file, you can check the full logs to see exactly what's happening.

I don't know poo poo about how SAB does stuff, but could the filename be so long you're getting a path length error, or it's a file bigger than 4GB on a FAT partition?
Or your antivirus hates the file and is locking it for scanning when the program tries to move it to the completed folder?
I don't know, just throwing ideas out there.
