Install Python and run it that way, you'll be happier in the end anyway. Then you'll always get the latest builds.

+1 for running from source. I saw the x264 SD stuff get added in a week or so ago

Yeah I've been running from source for awhile as well and it's definitely the way to go. The Windows builds were a pain to compile.

Scene rules changed a few weeks ago. Now all SD content is supposed to be x264. http://scenerules.irc.gs/t.html?id=2012_SDTVx264r.nfo

Anyone have tips for migrating a Sickbeard install from one Windows machine to another? Can I just copy over the entire folder and fix any paths or should I reinstall and then find a way to copy over the database? Has anyone done this before?

SB build 493 includes the x264 SD stuff, but there is no way to differentiate between SD releases since everything will be x264 I think. Looks like I will run from source since I have python installed for headphones. kri kri fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Mar 12, 2012 |

It actually took a couple of days to get the SD stuff right, but if I recall correctly the final commit check for SD is name contains x264 and doesn't contain 720p, 1080i, or 1080p. The scene is still calling SD releases HDTV.x264, but sickbeard isn't dependent on the HDTV in the name (though it will use it if it's there) since I think it excludes some corner cases. And now it will properly detect your x264 DVD rips!

I'm running from the Windows installer and have been getting x264 SD for a few weeks. It seems to grab whichever file shows up first. I haven't looked around to see if there's an option to prefer one codec.

Is SSL supposed to get around ISP throttling? I'm using SSL but my speeds are a paltry 150KB/s. Is there anything else I can do to get around throttling, apart from getting a new ISP? Ed: I think they are throttling NNTP or something.

If they're throttling Usenet traffic (NNTP sounds like the right protocol) then SSL will get around that, because the ISP won't see it as NNTP traffic, just unreadable gibberish going to an SSL port. They could be shaping traffic to specific destinations (maybe? Can they see that through SSL). They could also be throttling everything, nothing you can do about that.

Here in Canada, Rogers throttles all encrypted traffic, regardless of port (this was to shape Bittorrent encrypted stuff.) It sucks because at our office we use SSH for development a lot, and while sending a large file, say, a VM image, they'll kill our connection.

Is there any conceivable chance that this could have an effect on usenet downloaders besides the usual throttling tactic? SSL or non-SSL, I suppose. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/15/american-isps-to-launch-massive-copyright-spying-scheme-on-july-12/

Depends on if they're idiots or not. Well, I guess merely engaging in this makes them idiots, but what I mean is if they're looking at traffic destinations or doing packet inspection. If they're doing traffic destinations, then they could get you for massive amounts of traffic to a usenet provider even if they can't tell what it is you're downloading because you're using SSL. If they're doing the "smarter" thing and doing packet inspection, then they can't tell what you're downloading...if you're using SSL.

Most of the stories that I've read about July 12 make it sound like most of the major ISPs are just going to be implementing DMCA takedowns more uniformly across providers. Only one story said that ISPs are going to be actively monitoring connections, which would open them up to unwanted liability. So I don't buy that part. It mostly just sounds like ISPs are going to do more than just "hey, we got a dmca complaint, did you delete it? ok good, internet is back on," that they've done in the past. Now they're going to be warning you about the dangers of piracy as well. Plus a lot of ISPs had 3 strikes so the 6 strikes is better.

Just moved from Supernews to Astraweb, Supernews was getting ridiculous with all the missing articles and no way was it worth $10/month anymore, sad to see it go downhill so much since I used them for about 2 years. I went with the Astraweb 1TB block plan for $50, which to me seems like a great value unless you download >160GB a month (at which point their yearly plan for $96 unlimited makes more sense). Was also considering their 10mbit for $6.67/month plan (since that is like 3TB/month if you download constant), but I am upgrading to 40mbit next week and I want to see my poo poo max out  Plus my ISP probably won't be happy if I utilized 10mbit 100% of the time.How are people's experience with Astraweb these days? So far it has had no problems downloading the poo poo I was trying to on Supernews, with no missing articles. But is it likely I'll need a BlockNews backup with it? Like 25GB or something.

^^ Sucks to hear about Supernews. I've been using them quite often (150GB avg per month) and I only have something like 100MB on my Astraweb block account for when Supernews is missing pieces. That 100MB is from the last year or so though.

Odette posted:^^ Guess it really depends on usage patterns, probably wouldn't have trouble with newer stuff but it seems like anything past 100 days is gone and the 1300 days retention seems pointless. All related to DMCA takedowns, Giganews will remove every article related to one but others might remove just a few to break it but keep it mostly downloadable (if you have a backup server). I've been trying to grab older stuff right now and that is when I run into problems, though I think a typical sickbeard/couch potato/sabnzbd setup still works great with supernews/GN. With HDD prices like it is I can't do a whole lot of downloading anyways because I have no where to put it.

I download a variety of stuff, 0-1000+ day articles and it's really rare that I run into issues. I don't venture much into the older archives though, mostly the stuff I want is usually reposted.

Giganews tends to remove all the articles for Linux consule ISOs. If thats what you like to download, Giganews would be a bad choice. I have typical habits, but I still see my block accounts getting hit from time to time. Nothing too bad. Usually a few hundred megs a month.

Yeah the expressing-sympathy type of Linux ISOs are giving me a lot of trouble with GN. Astraweb is treating me really good now though, I might just sign up for their $96/year plan after I get through my TB block. Maybe by then HDD prices will be reasonable again too! I also found out about xsusenet, which offers a completely free 1Mbit connection with 400 days retention. Obviously that is too slow to do any real downloading, but for a free backup why not?

So SABnzbd keeps deleting subtitles rars and the idx/sub/srt files if and when it unzips them (if it even unpacks them at all). I've searched high and low in the config for a setting, and the only filetypes I have listed in the cleanup section are .srr, .sfv, and .nzb. What am I missing here?

Assuming you're talking movies, are you using Couch Potato with its automatic processing? I don't know what files it chooses to keep if cleanup is enabled there, but that might be it.

I think I found a bug, I was grabbing a bunch of things that has the naming convention of S01E34-37.blag.blah.mkv, and I added them all with the tv category. I noticed that it was renaming them without the second episode identifier (ended up as S01E34.mkv), so I did a bulk edit and changed the tag to misc to stop renaming them. I did this on a couple hundred at once. It did change the category to misc but it still renamed them as I failed to check that it still does it for that category.

Does anybody happen to have a script that will convert stuff sickbeard pulls down to an ipad friendly format? I'd love to maintain a list of shows that after they are grabbed, it is converted to mp4 or whatever and dumped the "automatically add to itunes" directory. I could write one, however I am lazy and would prefer using one that already exists
