Yup, it definitely doesn't like that site being down. Same problem here. Hopefully TVDB will come back up soon! Does anyone know if it's a temporary problem or a long term one?
It's a planned outage.

BTW, whenever I have questions like this I just search twitter. I almost always find an answer.

...authorities here are on alert...
Know this is a longshot, but figured I'd ask, becuase frankly I can't be the only person wanted to do this.

I'm looking for post-processing script that tags music, inserts an album image if none exists, and renames my files and folder into a specific format (in this case, a simple one: Artist\Year - Album\Track - Title.xxx).

I tried Write Album Art plug-in, but as it hasn't been updated in ages and only works with Newzbin categories (and there's no way I'm signing up there).

Im going to try my question here, since the NAS thread didn't bring any results:

Does anyone have a guide to install sabnzbd and sickbeard on freenas 0.7.2? Preferably something that you've used yourself with success. I've tried a bunch listed on the freenas forums and haven't been able to successfully get it working. At some point in the process there's a step that does not match up with what I have.

Im on 0.7.2 Sabanda (revision 7529).

For those on mac using SickBeard Launcher, have you noticed a memory leak?

I was messing around in activity monitor and noticed that it was using almost a gig of memory. I went ahead and restarted and it was only using 15 MB of memory. I've been eyeing it for the past 5 minutes or so and it's up to 25 MB.

Now I know what's causing my swap file to take up 5 GB of space. I hardly ever restart my computer.

edit: up to 70MB. I'm gonna keep monitoring it but I guess I'll have to make sure I exit out of the launcher when I open SickBeard. I messaged the creator on Twitter so I'll update anything I hear.

I'm very interested in learning usenet so I've spent the last couple days finally figuring it out.

I have had lots of success finding newer stuff. As in very new. I am having a lot of trouble finding stuff that I have absolutely no problem finding when I search torrents. Obviously I would like to use Usenet over torrents but I think I am just doing it wrong right now.

Like I said, no problem finding these on torrenting sites, but I want to use Usenet!

I've been using nzb.su and binsearch.info

Thanks!

Not related, why does the speed seem to vary so much? sometimes it maxes out my connection at 2.5 MB/s and hangs there for a long time, other times it fluctuates wildly between 600 KB/s and 1.7 MB/s but cannot get up into the 2.0 MB/s range.

Because your ISP is shaping or slow or non consistent or your pc is doing cpu intensive tasks and taking away cycles from sabnzbd.

I've restarted the program and I've forced a full update on the show, but it won't update. TheTVDB is up and the new season is on the site so I don't know what the hell the problem is.

From SABnzbd's 0.6.9's release notes:

quote:

What's new:
-Update Plush to solve minor browser incompatibilities
-On Windows the 64bit versions of par2 and unrar were never used

Does this mean it's automatically going to start using par2 and unrar 64bit versions, or that they were removed because they were never used? There's nothing at all in the forums about this and since my question really is more about performance if 32bit were being used instead, I figured I'd post this here instead of their forums. :nyoron:

I've never seen PAR2 or UnRAR even come close to using 4GB of RAM, so unless they can make use of some of the AMD64-specific instructions there probably isn't any benefit.

We know 64 bit par/rar is worthless because par and unrar are i/o bound not ram/cpu bound, but some people REALLY REALLY REALLY thought they needed it, so we included the binaries and set it so that we'd use these builds on 64bit Windows. Turns out our bit detection on certain versions of windows was hosed, so we never actually used the 64bit binaries. So here we months later and someone finally told us it was busted so we fixed it.

When you set up a show you have a choice to set up the archive storage type. Un-selecting any which are selected (you can get to this screen by editing your existing shows as well) should stop it from downloading larger releases in the future.

Well, it isn't exactly what you're looking for, but MP3Tag is a really good GUI tool for doing what you want. Granted, it doesn't support a command line interface, however, it is pretty quick to use. Unless you're trying to process dozens of albums a day, I highly doubt a small amount of manual intervention will matter.

I haven't tried this, but on the MP3Tag website, it says that you can automate the use of MP3 tag through the use of AutoIt.

There's nothing I know of that:
1) Does what you want (binary oriented, still deals with headers, has grouping functionality)
2) Is good
3) Is free

Have you considered using Mysterbin's "browse" feature?
