Softcox: Jul 13, 2004; But I will not hesitate.
Not for a second.

I decided to use Apache as it already comes with OS X server to proxy my sab/SB installs with SSL and basic auth. Very easy to get working using the config on the sab wiki but I ran into one issue. By default apache will ask for authentication for all requests, and most sabnzbd clients (MyNZB and Tanis on iOS & nzbs.org integration for example) don't expect authentication to /api/ requests. I figured out how to add an exception to /api/, here's the relevant crap from my apache.conf

code:

<Location /sabnzbd>
	ProxyPass [url]http://localhost:8888/sabnzbd[/url]
	ProxyPassReverse [url]http://localhost:8888/sabnzbd[/url]
	SetEnvIf Request_URI /api noauth=1

	AuthName "SABNZBd"
	AuthType Basic
	AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd

	Order Deny,Allow
	Satisfy any
	Deny from all
	Require valid-user
	Allow from env=noauth
</Location>

<Location /sickbeard>
	ProxyPass [url]http://localhost:8081/sickbeard/[/url]
	ProxyPassReverse [url]http://localhost:8081/sickbeard/[/url]
	SetEnvIf Request_URI /api noauth=1

	AuthName "SickBeard"
	AuthType Basic
	AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd

	Order Deny,Allow
	Satisfy any
	Deny from all
	Require valid-user
	Allow from env=noauth	
</Location>

Also requires "web_root = /sickbeard" set in sickbeard.conf

Hey chaps. Been a while!

I just noticed in my (otherwise totally working fine) Sickbeard Config, the Search Providers tab brings up this:

Holy crap I've never seen SABnzbd freak out that terribly.

Shypike would probably greatly appreciate it if you tried to grab whatever forensic info you can about what SABnzbd was doing when it tried to delete your windows directory. Probably post a whole thread about it on the sabnzbd forums.

gary oldmans diary: Sep 26, 2005

It tried to take out all filetypes matching cfg.cleanup_list (.exe, .nfo, .nzb, .sfv, .srr, .srs, .txt, .url) on C: (the working and complete directories for downloads are both on H: while SABnzbd reports processing status: "Moving: ...". I don't run sabnzbd with admin persmissions, but I notice it got C:\python27\python.exe. :shrug:

I flattened and formatted (from Win 8.1b to Win 8) days ago and there's nothing installed to affect SABnzbd, which is running from its Windows executable.
The logs reveal nothing other than that line 676 in postproc.py is where the action happens. It's easily reproducible and multiple tests are the same with any combination of category or post-processing. Removing the filetype Cleanup List prevents the problem.

The only thing unusual about the .nzbs I've noticed cause SABnzbd to act this way is that they only have segments for a single .avi (not a file in segments to be joined in post-proc; a single file as assembled by SABnzbd downloading code) instead of a .rar set or any other files. The download directory for instance looks like H:\_temp\_usenet\linux.avi\ containing a linux.avi and the __ADMIN__ directory upon downloading finish (before moving or post-processing of any kind).

SABnzbd 0.7.14 postproc.py's cleanup_list function seems to either receive a bad wdir or is unable to properly set path under these conditions (I don't know Python).

TL;DR: Maybe just don't download .nzb files that only point to a single unpacked .avi for now. .nzbs without these characteristics don't seem to produce this behavior.

For the people who've been doing it successfully, I've been having a bit of trouble reverse-proxying SickBeard under an SSL nginx web-server.

I'd been following the SAB wiki example & reverse proxying SAB works perfectly, with my self-signed SSL.

But when I try to reach SickBeard, it first prompts for the SickBeard basic-auth I've set (so it gets that far fine), then it 404s & redirects me to the server root page. Something's obviously wrong somewhere, but I don't know where. Does anyone have any ideas how I could change my config?

EDIT - Never mind, turns out SickBeard has a web_root parameter in its config.ini that turns out to quite important for reverse proxying.

Guys it's been over a year since I set up SAB and Sickbeard... So my memory is a bit hazy. I just got a friend to finally dive in and we got it set up well except I can't remember how to have the shows go into their own directories.

It's renaming. It's placing them in the right master folder, it's just not putting it into show/season sub folders and I cannot recall where to handle that.

Is there a way to use SAB to remotely put a computer to sleep (aside from setting the option in the menu to sleep after downloading and then downloading a file)? As its standby function works and is reliable, it'd be handier to use SAB than finding something specifically for OpenElec that does the job.

SAB should be downloading to its own set of folders, and I do recommend using folders per category. If you're using sabToSickbeard.py make sure it's config is set up including web_root. Have Sickbeard organize things in a separate folder from where SAB puts them. If all of this is correct and true then post logs.

Annoyingly, sick/sab won't deal with this automatically for me, I get that thing where the download goes really fast and no data is downloaded then fails. It would be much better if this state triggered a change to a different server....have I set something up incorrectly?

You can add Astraweb block and see how that works. But depending on what you're downloading, it may be either spam or something that gets DMCA'd everywhere. I.e. I don't think a lot of problems on one major provider will be gone on another.

I'm getting a 'not enough repair blocks' error on pretty much every file i've tried in the last month. I'm using blocknews. Is this an instance of needing a second, supplemental provider or is something else probably wrong?
