The_Franz posted:QoS still needs to know just how much bandwith you have available so that it knows when to start throttling things. Yeah, in our situation QoS also wouldn't be ideal because of the variability of the top speed of our internet connection. We'd need to err on the side of caution and setup QoS for our 2.5MB/s prime time hour speed and then it'd all be wasted when usage on our node peters off. Also, not everyone has complete control of the network they're on to just drop a QoS router into the mix, so this could have uses outside of my particular situation.

Only concern I'd have would be getting the balance between ping frequency and throttling velocity while accounting for ping variance to a server outside your network. For example, here's a quick output of my ping on my 802.11n 5GHz network while basically nothing's going on:quote:64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=0 ttl=251 time=98.461 ms The script should be running some form of history collection to determine what's "normal" and base the speedlimit with a fair response time to avoid spikes from other nodes like with web browsing. At a certain point you can go full retard backoff algorithm style like what happens with TCP implementations but perhaps a naive implementation that just does a rolling bilinear average is Good Enough. Wait a second, wasn't this plugin open source and therefore we could read how complicated the algorithm actually was?

Looks like it- http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plug...lugin=autospeed edit: http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Auto_Speed quote:It works by selecting a number of other Azureus instances from the Distributed Database as ping targets. It then periodically pings these to obtain an average latency for your connection. In order to baseline these pings Azureus needs a period during which little network activity occurs. If this doesn't happen naturally within a period after startup it will temporarily force the upload limit to a very low value to obtain the baseline (it may repeat this at other times when the ping targets change) http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Auto_Speed_Beta quote:Algorithm details io_burn fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Sep 16, 2012 |

That plugin adjusts the upload speed based on ping, but the download speed is based on the up/down ratio. Since sab doesn't upload anything, it's not very useful. The plugin calculates a minimum ping, a max ping and then tracks an average ping time. if the average is lower than the min - increase upload speed by a delta value if the average is higher than the max - decrease upload speed by a delta value downspeed = upspeed * updown ratio

For 2 I just threw a shortcut to sickbeard in my startup folder, but there may be a more elegant way to do it (I think this may cause firefox to launch when I start my computer, or its the sab link maybe, not really sure it doesn't really bother me though)

You can install SB as a service, but if it's running on a normally used PC then the benefits are not as great (you're going to log in to use the PC anyway, which negates the need for a pre-logon service that a server OS would benefit from). sickbeard.com/install.html states what pixaal has already. Throw the link in Startup and uncheck "Launch Browser" in Config -> General -> Misc to prevent your browser from firing up along with SB.

EC posted:Is there a way to mass update locations of shows in Sickbeard? I moved to a new server, and the database points to \\oldserver\videos\tv shows\ and I need it to point to \\newserver\videos\tv shows\. For a mass update, go to Manage -> Mass Update. Check the Edit box on all the shows you want to update, then click Edit Selected at the bottom of the screen. In the new page that comes up, click the Edit button next to the path. Browse to the new path, hit Submit, and wait while it updates your shows.

Did anyone ever notice significant improvements from upgrading W7 32 to W7 64 with things like Sickbeard, Couch Potato, XBMC, SAB etc ? I've only got 2GB RAM in my HTPC at the moment, but the only time I think upgrading to 4GB and W7 64 is when I'm using it to browse the web (which isn't that often). It's something I'll do at some point, but having to reinstall everything from scratch again just feels like... something I don't really want to do.

I can't speak for the speed increase, but migrating those programs is pretty easy. SB and CP you just copy the folders over, and SAB you just copy the app data folder.

What you want to be careful of is reservations on the low end, if your router allows more sophisticated configuration. Those are generally hard-reserved and shave percentage off the top end of what's available for your downloads. QoS is the answer to shared bandwidth.

A torrent auto-speed plugin can use ping because it's controlling your upload speed, not your download speed. The torrents will use all of the upstream bandwidth, so you can't even send out page requests, that's why torrening will kill your connection.

Cheers The only part that tripped me up was getting Sickbeard to recognize the new file path to my TV shows. Look back a page or so and someone posted the correct way to do it (by using the mass update function). I ended up rescanning everything, though, and it didn't take near as long as I thought it would.

I assume you tried 'Full Library Refresh" and 'Quick Library Scan' on the Manage page, to the right of the search box (three dots on the button). It took a very long time for my movies to start to populate. There are also settings for Manage / Movie Library Manager.

Couch Potato is super anal about movie names. I started with a few making .nfos with the IMDB id in them and it showed up then, but it was screwed up in XBMC. Just not worth it, I only use Couch Potato as a list to download movies basically.

That has not been the case at all for me. It's been picking up everything I have even though it's a mix of translated and original titles, and even those written in non-latin scripts have been recognized so far. Do you not include the year in your folder names or something?

I've run into a bunch of stuff Couch Potato has no idea about. Stuff that IMDB has readily available, but isn't in the online db Couch Potato checks (I forget, but it comes up in the logs). Adding an .nfo with IMDB ID (fixes most things) just doesn't fix these. And I have one thing CP won't create a folder for because of a "⅓" character in the title.

I'm having an annoying problem with sickbeard's XBMC integration. SB gets the show, drops it in the right folder, fetches the metadata, and says it's sent an update notification to XBMC. In XBMC, the show isn't updated and I have to rescan the folder to get it. It's able to send the test popup message to XBMC and it shows up, but I'm really stumped here. I thought it had something to do with having two XBMC profiles - Kids and Parents, with a KidsTV/KidsMovies and TV/Movies folder - but even shows that are in the kid's folder don't get updated. SickBeard is running on my NAS, and the HTPC is connecting via CIFS (basically no shows on it's local drive). Edit: Nobody cares what I watch.

Also keep in mind if you use Sickbeard .nfo files, you can't change the poster or fanart unless you do a refresh in XBMC. This is why I disabled that feature and let XBMC scan the files in. This might have been fixed, or changed.

Has anyone messed with the current "Sickbeard for comics" attempt Mylar ? It seems to have grown from the Omniverse idea earlier this year, but has made much more progress. Currently it seems to be able to process a comic pull list, track series and try to find all issues, but he's having some issues working on post-processing an existing library. Of course, none of this is working for me, as I seem to have run into this issue whereby I add a series to the queue, and it just throws "There was an error" with nothing in the log. Here are the screenshots from the Github project showing current status ![]()
