I'm OCD and like to have my stuff named a certain way I guess. I have Sickbeard include the quality in all the filenames as well as being named with the actual name of the movie rather than "scene" names for the files.

BASELESS ACCUSATIONS

Can CouchPotato manage an existing movie collection yet? I just updated to the latest verison after not using it for probably 9 months. I want to specify a quality for a file I already have and then have CP rename it and download all the metadata for XBMC. Can CP do that, or should I keep tying to do it with Ember Media Manager?
I think I could do everything you want from CP's Renamer settings page.

It can, but I find the metadata it creates to be pretty crappy. It often misses a lot of information and, although it renames it properly, it seems to grab the wrong information frequently. I tried using it for a while, but eventually had to turn it off because my collection got really screwed up.

If you don't want to use XBMC, then you should continue using EMM.

Why is mice sech cowards?


Well, my Google-fu has let me down... Has anyone here been using Unblock-us with SABnzbd/Sick Beard/CouchPotato?

I've been using a VPN to get around blackouts for NHL GameCenter Live and MLB.tv since sports are the only thing I even remotely miss from cable. This worked/works well but involves a bit of fiddling to enable/disable from the router UI or on the computer.

I decided to try out Unblock-us in order to make the process more seamless and was very happy with the results. However, I can no longer access the UI for my usenet applications and don't believe they can download at all anymore.

I know that I'm not the only user who has experienced this problem thanks to very limited documentation I've read online, but haven't come across a solution. Any ideas? Should I go back to my VPN? Help me keep my fat rear end on the couch.

As far as I understand, Unblock-Us just requires you to setup your stuff to hit their DNS servers, correct? Then they use their DNS servers to route you to their reverse proxy servers which then route you to the streaming site of your choice.

Are you using a name or an IP for your connection to SAB? IE: http://danforth05-pc:8080 or http://192.168.1.123:8080

If you're using a name, then the DNS trickery that Unblock-US uses will screw that up and you'll have to use an IP address (or edit your hosts file). So going to
code:
http://<ip.of.sab.pc>:<port>
will take you where you need to go.

This worked. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

My HTPC setup is pretty much perfect now... until I start tweaking it again.

I've had any account at nzb.su but it doesn't work anymore.

What other indexing sites are good to look out for? I have accounts at omgwtfnzbs and ftdworld, are they decent now? Lately I was mostly using binsearch/nzbfriends, but it kinda sucks.

The latest post on this blog has a bunch of sites to check out. Another list can be found on the SABnzbd wiki.
