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!

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.

I'm new as of this weekend to the SAB/SB thing... and I've pretty much got everything set up swimmingly and I am in love with the results. But as other things download just fine, something else gives me this error, repeatedly: URL Fetching failed; (Problem accessing nzbmatrix server (error:no_nzb_found)) I know it's pretty straightforward english, but can someone tell me what causes this? Is there a way to avoid, or minimize this issue? I'd hate to come home to a laundry list of things that failed on me. (It's for something that went up a couple hours ago.)

One more question, and this is probably more of a general one about Usenet and how SickBeard works: If I see an item is up (and has been for an hour or more,) how come SB doesn't see it, even when I force it to search for that file? It just shows up as unaired, but I can go into Usenet via my own app and get it and it's been there for at least an hour...

If I switch I guess I'm out 10 bucks, since I only signed up on Friday. Who is a good alternative?

Random question... I have qouch (app for iPhone/iPad)... but I need to know what I need to provide it (or do to Sickbeard/Couchpotato/SABnzbd) in order to make it be able to see /do anything. I'm guessing I may have to provide it, like, an IP. But I have comcast and then a wireless router and I don't know if my IP is static or dynamic or how I'd muck around with that or even if I'm barking up the right tree with this. [edit] actually, while I have you. I have Sickbeard and SABnzbd, as mentioned. But I'm not sure of the simplest way to upgrade to their latter versions. I Force Version Check in SickBeard and I get some red-text error. (but it would appear there may be a newer version? (I am on alpha build nonea) And I don't even see where I would do it on SABnzbd. I am on a Mac. I have Terminal, but am kinda a layman when it comes to this stuff. Thanks! [edit2] I updated SickBeard manually by copying the 3 files (Sickbeard.db, config.ini, and the auto process tv one.) Renamed the old folder so no conflicts. Then restarted. Everything looks good, except that the header columns on my Show List (Next Ep, Show, Network) all have these patterns of arrows over them. I tried restarting the app, etc... It's not the biggest deal, as it's just a little graphical dirtiness, but it is kind of annoying. Anyone know what's happening or what I'm talking about?

Man I just can't get Qouch to connect. I have my IP. I'm even on my own network. I shared API. I have my password. Paths, I think I have right, but I am not sure exactly what should be there. I can't connect to Sick Beard, Couchpotato or SABnzbd. :\

I put [computername] into Qouch, and it worked. How do I do this on a Mac? But the larger issue is that I'd just love to see a sample layout of what I need to fill out in Qouch's settings. Perhaps I'm filling something out wrong. It's quite possible.

Thanks to Hamburglar's tenacity in asking questions (and everyone else's help...) I, too, got all 3 working on Qouch. (CouchPotato, SAB and SB.) My one concern is this: In Tomato, (on my iMac) I port-forwarded the necessary ports. I also am kind of a networking nimrod, but I'm GUESSING that my iMac's internal IP (192.168.1.xx) is going to change whenever the things refresh or whatever. Is there a simple way I can make it static without loving up EVERYTHING* in my house? (*my iPhones, iPads, ps3, appletv, etc...) (I know this isn't really a usenet question, and I apologize for that, but I figured you all already knew most of the story so you'd know why I was asking'.) [edit] And despite having the EXACT same server credentials, Sickbeard won't connect on my iPad but will on my iPhone. The other 2 work fine on my iPad (and all 3 work on my iPhone.)

This may be an odd question, but is there a way to "test" Couchpotato to see if it's all set up and synched up right? LIke there's a test button on SAB or SickBeard (I forget) that tells you all is connected right. But I haven't had cause to actually *use* Couchpotato yet, so I'm not sure if it's functioning right. I have things it's looking for when they finally hit, but how do I know it's talking correctly to SAB or whatever and will actually do something when it finds something on my list?

I made the jump to the latest OS (10.8) and everything is peachy but my Sickbeard Bootup Script when it runs gives me this error: "The Action " Run Shell Script" encountered an error. Check the action's properties and try running the workflow again." It may just be something that won't work for a bit until things are fixed to be compatible with the new OS, but I figured I'd ask anyway, in case I was missing possible obvious things I could try or check.

So I've been poking around (as best as I can) and when I try to run SickBeard as a Daemon in Terminal, I get an ImportError about not being able to find Cheetah.Template . Does anyone have any idea what I might do to fix this? This all started last night post Mountain Lion GM.

Actually, while I wouldn't midn checking out the new Cheetah stuff you linked to, reinstalling Cheetah last night had it working again (except my startup scripts won't work... I get that Shell Command error.) But I could start it up as a Daemon no problem. However, this morning, (after my computer slept on it's own from last night) when I went to my browser window for SickBeard it wouldn't load. I tried running SB as a daemon again and I got this: randon-Griffins-iMac:sickbeard BSTAR$ python sickbeard.py -d Brandon-Griffins-iMac:sickbeard BSTAR$ Exception in thread HTTPServer Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/Applications/Sickbeard/cherrypy/process/servers.py", line 75, in _start_http_thread self.httpserver.start() File "/Applications/Sickbeard/cherrypy/wsgiserver/__init__.py", line 1634, in start raise socket.error(msg) error: [Errno 48] Address already in use I have no idea what changed since last night.

So the issues just keep coming, but I feel like I keep getting further and further into what is at the root cause. I've gotten Sickbeard to where the startup script runs fine. However, randomly, after a long period of time (Half a day? A day?) if I refresh it in the browser, it's no longer responding. Safari can't find the page. Anyway, I try to run it in Daemon again and I get this error: code:

What's the proper command for that, just Netstat -r? [edit] Yes, yes it is. (Just logged in remote to my machine from work to test it.) Ok, so if Sickbeard is using Localhost:8081 and then it stops working, what am I looking for? I have Sickbeard running fine as Daemon for the moment and I did Netstat -r and I think I see CouchPotato, Sickbeard and SABnzbd (because I see 3 entries with the word "localhost" but I don't know which is which. I don't see any ports identified or anything like that. [edit again] Ah using Netstat and not Netstat -r gives me more identifiable results. [lastedit] I did Netstat and got a fairly big list. Poring over it I don't see anything that identifies my currently-running Sickbeard Daemon. So I'm not sure how to identify it (and the identify what might be blocking it once it stops working later...) my SB is set to localhost:8081 Feenix fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Jul 17, 2012 |

Thanks everyone! I'm gonna try some of the suggestions. That said I wanted to clarify a few things. 1) I have an iMac (that does not go to sleep.) 2) It very well may be that errno message is because I'm trying to run the daemon again in Terminal and it's just sensing that it's still running from the first time. However, the reason I run that daemon again is because it stops responding in Safari after half a day or something. So it could technically be stopping for some other reason. Not really sure yet. I changed the port to 9865. We'll see what happens!

...! posted:Well, since Sickbeard won't rename the files the way I need them to be named (and the renaming is the time-consuming part), it's pretty much pointless to me anyway. I don't have (can't afford) an HTPC. Everything is streamed from my computer to my PS3 through PS3 Media Server. What my PS3 sees is the Windows file structure on my computer. Believe me, I've searched long and hard for a different way of doing it but there really isn't one. That's why I need the files named a certain way. I don't know what is "needed" in this case. From what it sounds like, it's just what you desire. I got Sickbeard getting stuff for me and the 1x05 format works just fine streaming to my PS3. I may have missed it above, but was there a reason you wanted them formatted/named a certain way? Or was it just because that's what you want?

I have a question that's probably not THAT complex but I want to make sure I don't throw everything out of wack. I also am not sure exactly where to look. I have SAB and SICKBEARD. Right now stuff gets downloaded to Incomplete (in my Downloads folder on my mac) then it goes to Completed TV in my downloads folder) Then it's getting moved to my Movies > TV folder on my mac. What I'd love to do is manually move ALL of that onto a big ol' fat external HDD I just got. So drag and drop it, and then.... change *what* in SAB and Sickbeard configs so it starts doing ALL of that on the external HDD (even the incompleted / completed tv folders, as well as where the final formatted shows show up.)

EC posted:Shutdown Sickbeard. Delete the db file, back up the config file. Start Sickbeard, and add your existing shows that are on your new HDD. Ok. So because I'm nervous of loving EVERYTHING up and all that... let me repeat what you said in the way I understand it: Shut down SickB. Delete the DB file. Back up the Config file. (to what end? What am I doing with the config file later?) Start SickB. Add your existing shows (you mean via the SickBeard interface? re-add one by one?) In SAB, change download folder for Sickbeard/TV Show Dir to the new HDD. (what config screen is that on? I didn't see when I looked through ) I assume its the Folders thread, where at the very top I see an non-interactable BASE FOLDER dir. I'm guessing that's what I need to change? How? Then everything is hunky-dory? [edit] Ok maybe the point is the Default Base folder doesn't change. So it says: Default Base Folder: /Users/BSTAR what do I enter in the paths below to point it to a non-internal volume? (my external HDD)

Ok I believe I did everything as specified. I stopped Sickbeard, I deleted the DB file. I backed up the config file (but I didn't remove it from Sickbeard folder..) I manually moved my entire directory from on my users/Me/Movies/Tv folder to my HDD. I changed SAB to put incomplete and completedTV processing folders onto my external. I turned SB back on. I added existing shows based on path to my new HDD. I went to test snatch a show and it says this: SEARCHQUEUE-MANUAL-SEARCH :: Unable to connect to SAB: socket error Something isn't talking right between SAB and SB it seems. Help? [edit] Don't bother answering I think I sorted it out. Somehow in SB, the path to SAB added http://http:// to the 0.0.0.0:8081 address. I fixed it.

Ok so I was able to get SAB and SB talking after I relocated everything over to my external HDD. The Incomplete & Completed TV folders are both over there. I had SB test snatch something, and it had SAB do it's thing. I got emailed when it was done. Here's the last little rub that I'm sure someone can help me determine? It's been about 20 minutes and despite being email notified, the actual video is still in "CompletedTV" folder. It did not make it to its final Show > Season > Show 1x02.mkv layout. Basically I think the post processing didn't kick off. I'm not using anything other than stock SAB and SB for that, but it worked very well in the past (prior to my changing where everything goes...) Ideas?
