All new SD scene content is going to be in mp4 due to a scene rule change.

I just always thought that 'scene' was shorthand for IRC buds who rip and cap and supply private FTP servers that supply Usenet and then finally the unwashed hordes on demonoid and other BT sites. How are there rules beyond just informal naming and codec conventions to make indexing easier.

My limited understanding as an outsider is that there's a network of 'secure' private FTPs, usually referred to as topsites, that the release groups upload to, and it's those topsites that enforce the extensive scene rules, in the interests of quality and consistency. The releases then trickle down to all the various outlets for consumption by the unwashed masses: usenet, FXP groups, FTP dumps, IRC XDCC channels, torrents, cyberlockers, other P2P programs and so on. As far as I know, all of those outlets are viewed with an equal amount of disdain.

crm posted:Dang, I'll give this a shot. It doesn't, primarily because I haven't been able to find an easily parsable source for metadata that doesn't completely loving suck (Subler uses TheTVDB for example, and some of the descriptions are just horrendously bad/rife with errors). I'm not sure what you mean by "a list of the shows that are done", but if you want to do multiple files the post-processing script will do that automatically, or if you want to do it outside of SABnzbd you can do something like code:

Speaking of which, is there a way to get sickbeard to exclude certain patterns in searches? There's one group that always seems to gently caress up the release more than anyone else. By the time I get around to watching most shows someone else has released a WebDL or correct release, but sickbeard won't replace it unless I tell it to manually re-search, and then I have to wait on my 10Mbps to download it. I'd rather it just wait several hours to snatch from a group that doesn't have problems all the time.

What are the maximum number of connections for astraweb's three SSL servers? I had always used the general severs before and the limit for them was 50, but I don't think that's the case here because I keep getting errors/warnings about too many connections.

Nothing I've found so far. There's a particular group that keeps releasing 1080i MPEG2 .ts direct stream rips and of course Sickbeard sees those and thinks "ooh, a HD copy!" and downloads a retardedly large file that no one in their right mind should want. I'd love to filter them out entirely, but unfortunately that doesnt' seem possible.

You have to do it by hand in the config.ini, look for the ignore_words variable.

When using Couchpotato are you forced to use the category function of Sanzbd to send it to whatever folder upon completion or does it handle that like Sickbeard does? Insofar it appears to just dump it into the default completed folder is this because I haven't enabled post processing somehow with Couchpotato or does it just not have that built in?

I'm trying to move away from running sabnzbd on my local machine, so I created a new VM of Ubuntu server and installed it there using the jcfp/ppa repo. Now that the new sab install is finished, I switched over the info in sick beard to start using the new install. SB connects fine to SAB. Whenever SB sends a .nzb to the new SAB however, it errors out saying "URL Fetching failed; Unusable NZB file". I tried putting my local sab server info back into SB and resending the .nzb . This worked just fine and it downloaded. After changing back to the new sab, I changed the search order in SB to use the SB indexer first. It found the file and sent to sab, but same error again. So it seems it's not a problem with a specific site. I tried searching the SAB forums but every instance of this error I found is being blamed on the site causing malformed nzb's. Is there something simple I am missing in the config? Posts Only Secrets fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Mar 21, 2012 |

Anyone having issues with supernews? sabnzbd tells me that the user/pass is wrong, but then I test it in the options window and it works, downloads for another minute or so, then tells me it's wrong again. Really frustrating because it's trying to get some blocks so I can almost taste it being done! e: a restart of sab fixed it! ambushsabre fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Mar 24, 2012 |

This depends on a lot of factors. The only thing you can do is test it out and see what works best. I'm on 100mbit and have to use 30 connections to max out.

Latest version from git. I've done the config.ini thing now, didn't know about that, now MPEG2, 1080i, and the group's name are on my exclusion list. I haven't seen one of these crap files in a few months, but I had switched a lot of the affected shows to SD-only to avoid this so I don't know if/when Sickbeard may have fixed it.

For some reason, sabnzbd likes to randomly stop downloading files until I restart it. I'm using an airport extreme with MacBook air. My usenet provider is super news. My ISP is road runner. I never had this issue when I had comcast with a different modems a couple months ago. I've tried both SSL and non-SSL. Any ideas?

A friend of mine is running sabnzbd, but he's having some troubles with it. His download speed is around 3 or 4 megabytes per second, and he can sometimes get that, but often times it will drop down to a couple of kilobytes per second. I was watching it while it did this, and nothing was using much CPU at the time (a 70 GB ISO was being parred, but the par2 process was only using about 3% cpu). It's running on WHS v1, and my knowledge of the XP/2003 task manager is fuzzy now, but the task manager graphs show him using something like 800mb of page file, though he has 4GB of memory and sabnzbd was using the most memory at 300mb. My first thought was that he wasn't using enough connections, and that's all set properly, so I'm not sure where else to look. Would the log file shed any light on this?

The beta site is going live soon and they updated their API keys so they're just making sure people know and transition properly. When you updated Sickbeard it will spam a big notification in the upper right and you can disable the old nzbs.org provider entry and just enter your new API key (found in your profile at beta.nzbs.org after you login).
