 Was wondering if someone had a guide on how to automate TV shows/movies coming in from uTorrent or Sabnzb and then having something organize them without me having to do anything.

I have Couchpotato and SickBeard, but the way it's set up now isn't 100%. Instructions would be key, or perhaps a page number where it was discussed?

Thanks guys

E: I should mention its scene releases of stuff normally and it usually comes in a folder with a video file then 3-4 useless files.

For TV shows coming through SABnzbd you would:

1. Go to Categories and make a new category that would look like this, change the path to whatever you want. Also, you don't need to set the priority to high unless you want all new TV show downloads to be put on the top of the queue.



If you want SAB to notify Sick Beard that it has completed a download and that it should immediately process the download go here: http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/wiki/PostProcessing If you continue to follow these instructions, SB will post-process downloads but there will be a delay of 15-20 minutes.

2. Then go to Sick Beard and go to Config -> Search Settings and where it says SABnzbd Category put the name of the category you just made in the previous step. Save.

3. Now go to Config -> Post Processing and select the folder you setup in step one. Uncheck Keep Original Files, and I have Move Associated Files, Renamed Episodes, and Scan and Process all checked but you can change those based upon your preference. Leave Scan and Process checked! Save.

4. Next setup your naming system and metadata type to whatever you use. Save.

Now what will happen is Sick Beard will tell SABnzbd to download a TV show and when that happens, it will also tell it that it should place those downloads in the TV category you created during step 1. Sick Beard will watch the folder that you designated in step 3 and when a new file appears in that folder it will scan it, rename it, and then send it to the location that you specified when you added the show to your show list in Sick Beard.

I don't use CouchPotato so instead I use SABnzbds built in sorting and it works well.

Appreciate it.

I think the only problem is how things are downloaded. Case in point - a show I got is in a folder and that folder has about 4-5 files in it, one being the show and the rest being fluffed. Everything works until it gets to SickBeard organizing the folder and putting it in the right spot - wondering if its because the file is in a folder?

What happens when it tries to process it? The extra files should either be moved with it if they are important (srr/srt/sfv/nfo) and you have that option selected in Sick Beard, or they will deleted or perhaps left in the folder -- I haven't played with that option. Nevertheless, your video files should be moved out of the completed download folder into the folder you specified when adding the show to Sick Beard. During this process the file and folder will be formatted to your specifications. If you do not have the show in your show list and you manually downloaded it, Sick Beard is going to skip over it when processing the folder and nothing is going to happen. It doesn't matter if your shows are in folders or not.

It all of a sudden started working. Thank you very much. Only problem is the services they use to download from UseNet / Torrent sites. I wish I could add Binsearch or PirateBay etc but cannot seem to add them. This sucks because the sites it uses can't find some files that I can easily find on other sites.

 So I want to register with Nzbsrus because they seem to have poo poo quite early, but gently caress me - they charge you in Bitcoins?

Where can I go with quality like Nzbsrus?
