Nam Taf posted:It's really weirdly amusing that this attitude is throughout the US (and that most people haven't heard of it) cause in Australia this is offered by almost every ISP. It's called a Naked DSL plan here, in that you don't have a phone line bundled with it. ISPs tend to offer it at $10 more per month than the bundled offering, but obviously you then don't pay the $30/month for phone line rental to bundle. Others let you bundle it with VOIP for less than a dedicated phone line.

Murodese posted:Ugh, Sickbeard keeps grabbing the proper for a file and corrupting it (the original file is ~360mb, after it pulls the proper it's 11mb). Do I have to have the post-processing for sabnzbd set to Download for Sickbeard to handle it properly? It's on +unpack at the moment. This sounds like the proper is corrupted on usenet. Are you sure it's a good file? Try just downloading it manually.

EC posted:This sounds great! There's nothing more aggravating than downloading 5+gb of useless data on a slow connection. Midgetspy and I have talked in the past about movies. Theyre not a good fit for SB. They work completely different from the way TV shows do so you'd end up with completely different code and UI...at which point you should've just built a different app to begin with. That being said, I would have built CP completely different from the way Ruudberger built it. Having hacked on the code to improve renaming and add XBMC integration I can say its pretty obvious that he was new-ish to Python and maybe even to coding. I'm still glad someone stepped up to the plate and made something usable though.

paradigmm posted:https://nzb.su/mymovies How do you specify quality settings in My Movies...that's one of the biggest purposes of CP. You've been able to set up RSS feeds for searches on different NZB sites for a long time. With regard to CP renaming issues...I've had it misname a movie maybe three or four times out of maybe a couple hundred movie downloads. I think perhaps you have something configured wrong if it's not renaming correctly. Granted, if you can't figure out the mis-configuration, CP is a failure...but it IS possible to get it working well.

Uuudar posted:I'm having a problem with CP; it will not move the folder. I don't want the folder or file re-named; I just want it moved from the default complete folder onto another drive. I currently have the Renaming tab enabled, point it to where my Movies are placed, then have the Movie Destination the drive/folder where I want them to end up. Both Folder and File Renaming are blank. Click "show naming options". You'll see there's an "original" tag to use original filename.

EC posted:Some routers also allow you to do DNS redirections on the LAN side. dd-wrt, for example, resolves my external address (whatever.serveftp.net) to it's internal address (192.168.1.5) when I'm connected to my LAN. Outside of the network it resolves to the external IP. This lets me run things like myNZB on my iPhone and it'll work no matter where I am (it also works with bookmarks for stuff like CouchPotato and Sickbeard). Yes. This is what I do. I have an dynamic dns with dyndns.org and all my devices whether they are on my home network or away just use "whatupholmes.dyndns-host.com:8080". I believe this feature is generally called NAT Loopback.

I'm not sure why anyone would want this when CouchPotato already supports notif.io The pHo posted:I find my account gets deleted from there every few weeks and I have to remake it. Maybe I should log in once a week so it doesn't think I'm idle. One of the drawbacks of a non-paid account I guess. Most routers have a feature to automatically update your dyndns account. There's also lots of software that does this for you automatically as well.

FWIW, I regularly download at ~8MB/s using Supernews + Charter Communications 60/5 package in midwest, USA. I'm thinking about downgrading my package, though. I'm almost never sitting around waiting for something to download. With CouchPotato and Sickbeard, things are just there ready to be watched in XBMC when I sit down to watch TV.

haywire posted:I don't understand these speeds people are getting, unless providers have started throttling. Back when Astraweb sucked less (3 years ago), and our techs accidentally disabled throttling in our University digs, I was getting ~25MB/sec (something like 200Mbits or something) from Astraweb, so I always assumed that they can feed you as fast as you can eat. Hmm. I hadn't noticed anyone except that guy in Japan getting less speeds than their internet connection maxed out at. I certainly max out my internet connection with Supernews at around 8MB/s.

It actually searches TMDB since they have an actual API and then when it scrapes for info it uses IMDB...TMDB doesn't have every movie IMDB does. You can always use the userscript and add to CP direct from IMDB.

reboot posted:Alright cool, thanks. And yeah i have a pretty nice connection (50 meg) and i seem to be maxing it out while downloading. (I get 6.3-5MBPS) FWIW, I routinely break 7MB/s with Supernews and my 60 meg internet connection. Incidently...that amount of speed is almost worthless to me. I'm almost never just sitting around waiting for something to download. Sickbeard and Couchpotato download stuff, and when I want to watch stuff I sit down and watch what I haven't seen yet. I'd downgrade to a 20 megabit connection if only it didn't have a 250GB cap on Charter. Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Aug 22, 2011 |

ohgodwhat posted:Is newzbin really not worth paying for? The other places I've gone, like NZB.su and NZBsRUs just look like poo poo and seem pretty poorly run. I never got that impression from Newzbin, so if Newzbin does the same exact stuff and doesn't suck, I'd rather pay for it. Why don't you just try them out and see what you think? Personally, I don't like the UI of newzbin and find that it offers nothing worth paying for.

I've been using my own fork of CouchPotato for the past year and I haven't pulled from upstream in like 8 months. I don't know if this feature has made it in to any of the actual releases yet, but I just pulled the latest source and there's a sweet feature to subscribe to the blu-ray.com RSS feed and auto-add every movie that has an IMDB rating above whatever you specify. Pretty neato.

kri kri posted:Which phone? I looked on github the other day and someone added support for some android notifier app. I haven't talked to him in a few weeks but one of the responsibilities of a lead maintainer is to make sure that changes mesh with future planned code changes, to make sure that the code to merge doesn't break things, and basically look over the quality of the code. So...not only do some forks not meet those qualifications, but it takes time to review it. The more sweeping the changes the longer it takes.

Xanar posted:So I was having the same problem as another poster who said some shows were not updating on Sickbeard. After searching a bit I have found something here Your easiest course of action is to download this, the zipped up version of the latest source. Unzip it somewhere. Install python. Install whatever dependencies sickbeard has. Double click sickbeard.py. Revel in the fact that you're running a cutting edge version. All of those steps are pretty easy...if you're using Sickbeard already it shouldn't be beyond your skill level.

For those of you who have encountered this problem, are you just pulling those titles manually or do you have an alternative? I set up an RSS feed for a title that is always uploaded with a season number two behind what the tvdb uses. After the show gets downloaded I have a python post-processing script I wrote that renames it with the "correct" season numbers and then calls the sickbeard post processing script.

io_burn posted:I was thinking of a utility that'd be super handy today- Does something exist that scans your media library and Netflix's streaming library then provide a list of things you have that you can delete because they're already on Netflix? Seems like that'd be a really radical addition to both Sickbeard and Couchpotato if you could add Netflix's streaming catalog as another search destination. I mean, if I can stream something in HD off Netflix, there's not much reason to be hogging up drive space keeping a copy locally that I can think of. Netflix HD streams are like 1/2 to 1/3 the bitrate of your average encode.
