FSMC posted:I've had enough of sickbeard, does couchpotato do the same thing? Can I just replace sickbeard with couchpotato? Are there any major disadvantages to switching? There's also NZBDrone. It does everything sickbeard does (and more) I converted and have never gone back. SB has its merits, but NZBDrone is just much quicker and isn't as married to the TVDB. The dev is actually trying to get a TVRage api key to use their service. The only problem is it's 100% Windows. The dev has mentioned supporting mono, but I don't know the status of that.

uhhhhahhhhohahhh posted:Like what? Like I said, I switched from SB a while back, so I don't know what SB has now, but here goes: 1. Speed--this was the main reason for me switching. The entire process to scan about 1700 files, add them to the interface, and then check the RSS feeds takes less than 2 minutes. Individual RSS checks take less than 10 seconds with around 105 series. With SB, it took significantly longer. Things that may be available daily usually took 2-4 minutes to add with SB and take about 20 seconds to add in NZBDrone. 3. Ability to delete files via the interface. You can get rid of stuff you don't want without having to navigate the folder structure. This is also going to be expanded into a keep last X/most recent/etc feature. 4. Ability to integrate with TVRage. SB just simply can't do it. 5. Dev maintains a TVDB -> Scene mapping (may also use TheXem) so things that SB can't get, NZBDrone can. 6. Search History. You can see the all the reports for a specific check and manually snatch the ones that may have been skipped for whatever reason. 7. Support for multiple "root folders". If you have folders spanning multiple drives, it isn't a problem. There are also some things that SB does better in terms of quality selection and renaming of files (and not being Win only), but overall my opinion is that NZBDrone is a much better choice. It also works "out of the box" in that you don't need an indexer (it uses the public ones) and it has the ability to automatically grab your SAB settings. The dev is also very responsive and usually has things sorted within 24 hours of posting an issue. It's totally a preference thing, but give it a try if you have a windows box. I'm sure you'll like it. monkeybounce fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Nov 2, 2012 |

I think this was touched on earlier in the thread, but does any provider have the ability to keep your IP address matched with what articles you've downloaded for more than just a few hours at most? I feel like the thought was they would generate and store ridiculously unsustainable amounts of data if they tried to log and retain every transaction.

Powdered Toast Man posted:Not sure how specific I can get about this due to the rules, but here goes... Most of the time, in my experiences, this occurs for one of two reasons. 1. The TVDB can be real pricks about ordering. Sometimes TVDB says a show is S08E01 when it's really S07E22 or vice versa. In these cases, since SB uses TVDB to know what show to look for, it cannot find it if TVDB tells it to look for S08E22 and the scene labelled it S08E01. 2. Less common, but still happens, is weirdness in naming of the release. I don't know how common it is now, but for a while SB didn't know that SHOW 2x22 meant S02E22. I think they've got a regex for that now, but there could be other non-standard cases that cause that issue.

The Gunslinger posted:Anyone have a problem with CouchPotato just hanging and being unresponsive? I've had to manually kill it a few times. Tried it with a fresh config and database, same thing. It's getting to be loving annoying and even with debugging turned on the logfiles don't turn up anything useful to help troubleshoot it. I've tried running it from source, using the Windows binary, etc. I've only had this issue when I was using the manage function. As best as I can tell, it's completely pointless anyway, so just turn it off. Solved my problems at least.

Feenix posted:Wait so is NZBDRONE a full-featured replacement for SB? Yes. It's a full featured replacement to SickBeard and it has features that SB doesn't such as built-in XEM Mapping, delete from disk when managing a show, Anime, and a much faster interface. Some of the requirements are a bit bloated (iisexpress, .net4, etc), but I converted and never looked back. There are some weird differences (it automatically updates older episodes to the desired quality, for instance), but nothing that can't be dealt with. Markus, the main dev, is really responsive and usually has bugs fixed or new features implemented within a couple of hours. I'm on the beta test branch and there's usually a new version every day. For its age, it's a pretty mature piece of software and I wholly recommend it over SB. There's also interest in adding CouchPotatoesque functionality to make it an all in one solution since NZBDrone was born out of frustration with SB and everyone seems to be frustrated with CPv2. * I am in no way associated with it, I just think it's a really well done piece of software. kri kri posted:I just switched to this this weekend. Even chatting to the dev now about a couple issues he seems pretty cool. I like the speed and that it doesn't rely solely on thetvdb. Windows only doesn't bother me since I use whs 2011. I've been using it since, literally, the day it was released. Let me know if you have any random questions about it. monkeybounce fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Jan 27, 2013 |

GateheaD posted:Sickbeard vs NZBDrone NZBDrone was born out of the frustrations with SB. Things that are different in NZBDrone, include, but are not limited to: - Scanning library into the program is a lot faster then SB - Use of TheXEM to do scene to TVDB Mapping - Search for new episode is very quick also - Snappier WebGui - Clearer Log file (colored messages and human readable output) - History section shows clear information into why files are not downloaded or not found during manual search (this is separate from actual log area) - small box at bottom of window for notifications - Ability to delete seasons or files from the GUI and remove them from disk - custom start dates for backlog searches (IE, only want to get episodes newer than X) - Very responsive and productive devs. Issues are fixed within hours. - Anime support - Ability to see search history and manually add nzb that wasn't grabbed (IE, Only 1080 is available, but you have your cutoff at 720. Single click to add 1080 to queue) - Ability to have multiple root folders for TV Shows without the kludgy remapping SB requires. There are lots more, but that's what I can come up with off the top of my head. That said, there are some drawbacks too, but the benefits well outweigh them. monkeybounce fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Jan 29, 2013 |

EC posted:What's the install process like on a WHS2011 box? Sickbeard was stupid easy to setup. Make sure you have .net4 (Win 8 this isn't a problem. Win 7 you'll have to add it.) Unzip files to desired location. (I would NOT recommend %Program Files% as there are permissions issues to contend with) Run installservice.bat to autostart with Windows. Configure settings. Before you add shows, make sure to configure all of the paths and whatnot in your settings. You'll also want to pay special attention to make sure you have NZBDrone naming your shows the same way SB did for consistency sake. If you're adding existing shows, it's pretty simple. The only thing you'll have to keep an eye on is whether or not the series is a remake so you make sure you get the right one.

And maybe if it works better, I'll slowly switch it over to full time use. The memory footprint is tiny. I'm at less than 10MB. If you do run them side by side, you shouldn't have any issues. Just make sure to only add the shows you want it to manage or you'll end up with duplicates.

elwood posted:Another nzbdrone question. Does it offer an indexer like sickbeard does? Almost everything I get through sickbeard I get through the build in indexer. It doesn't offer a built in indexer like Sickbeard (which is just a NewzNab that the sickbeard dev is running). However, it does automatically support Wombles, NZBIndex, NZBClub, and nzbx. There was some talk about setting up an indexer after the NZBMatrix drama, but I don't think it's happening. YouTuber posted:How does NZBDrone run under Wine for us that run Linux for our HTPC/NAS? It doesn't. Le0 posted:well everyone keeps saying it is windows only at the moment so no it wasn't made with mono which is very weird honestly when a large portion of the person that might use such a program are running linux... Yeah, the lack of Mono support is weird. It's promised on the roadmap and the dev does realize it would be a major jump in userbase. http://track.nzbdrone.com/youtrack/issue/ND-60. Add your two cents or even just a +1 to the youtrack. He's really good about prioritizing based on feedback. I think this started as a project among a couple of friends all running WHS boxes which they then turned public. So it kind of makes sense that there's no mono support if they didn't intend to make it public.

Grab Meatcastle posted:How portable are SABNZBD, Nzbdrone, Headphones etc.? Yup. Just make sure you have your dependencies (python, cheetah, etc) and you'll be good to go. Just be aware, if running windows, that some things will be in %appdata%\Roaming\ so you'll want to get those too, not just where you installed it to. If it's any help, I've set mine up on a SD Card code:Just make sure you don't have SAB using the SD card for the temporary download directory.

You're also limited to how many nzbs you're allowed to download daily. Right. So he can not use SickBeard with a non-VIP nzb.su.

If not one program then a couple that will do this with the minimum of input from me? Handbrake should do what you're asking.

I've been getting a lot of empty spots (Sab rejects them because they have nothing in them), but I don't know if it's related, but something has been weird with Spotweb lately.
