Does anyone have a link on how to setup automatic sorting of downloaded files using SickBeard / SabNZBD? Everything going into my Usenet folder isn't cutting it anymore.

I'm starting to think Supernews isn't cutting it. Last night I queued up some files that were almost a year old (and had a decent amount of grabs) on NZB.su and I woke up to this: I use SABNZBD, and SABConnect++ (for Chrome) for the mac. Does anyone know what could be the problem here? Should I switch providers? If so, who should I switch to, Astraweb? UsenetServer? Something else?

The Modern Leper posted:Could someone tell me where the script menu is in SABnzbd or, alternatively, how I can switch the theme? Sabnzbd isn't recognizing my sabtosickbeard. This just seems really unintuitive, but I'm sure I'm missing something really simple. You can change the UI by going to config > general and clicking the dropdown bar next to "Web Interface" I use Plush gold. For SabtoSickbeard, you need to go into config > folders and next to "post processing scripts folder", you need to enter in the path of the scripts folder. Mine is: /users/corbet/sickbeard/sick-beard/autoprocesstv/ After that, you go into Config > Categories and next to "TV" is a dropdown bar for scripts, SabtoSickbeard should be an option. io_burn posted:Corbet please post your results if you end up using a supplemental news host to SuperNews. It worked out great. I bought 200 GB for $20 at BlockNews and was able to download one of the files that failed on me last night. Granted, it went through a process of repairing and validating 2-3 times before it had all the data but I'm happy. I'd more than willing to pay a one-time fee of $20 instead of wasting a bunch of bandwidth downloading failed files (yay Comcast). Corb3t fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Jul 8, 2011 |

io_burn posted:Hmm, is there a way to setup sabnzbd to try an alternate SuperNews server, or re-try to download missing articles? Hitting retry in the interface seems to only retry to actual par checking process without ever attempting to fetch missing articles, which obviously fails, since they're not there. I'm not sure this feature is available with sabnzbd and I've always wondered why they haven't implemented something like that. Missing articles are the worst thing about usenet/sabnzbd, mainly because you're stuck re-downloading the whole thing again (granted, you can go in and see what par files are missing, but that can be tough when you're downloading a file that has thousands of blocks).

Is there a way to automatically assign a category to a file I've added to sabnzbd instead of manually having to change it? I have some sorting set to drop specific categories into different folders but it would be nice if I didn't have to worry if the category was marked or not.

inpheaux posted:Get the NZB from somewhere cool (nzbs.org, nzb.su, etc) and have your category named exactly like the category at the source. Case matters. Hmmm, weird. I use nzb.su and it still doesn't apply the category correctly, even when they match. I've got another question. I have sabnzbd move completed file to a networked drive (using OS X). Occasionally, the networked drive is disconnected and sabnzbd throws a fit about now being able to find the completed folder and decides to create the folder its self. When I re-connect the networked drive, OS X notices there already a folder with the same name as the networked drive (because sabnzbd created the folder) and it decides to rename the actual drive. Is there any way to stop sabnzbd from creating the complete folder when it can't find it?

io_burn posted:So on a whim today I decided to setup nzb.su (previously was only using newzbin and nzbmatrix) and Sick Beard almost immediately found all this obscure stuff I had added when I first set it up then basically wrote off as "Yeah, this will never download." What reason is there that nzb.su would work so much better than the others? I mean don't all of the nzb services work basically the same behind the scenes? That's pretty funny considering I went and checked out nzbmatrix (I've only ever used nzb.su, I wish I could get an account at nzbds.org) and managed to find some obscure things I've been trying to find for months to no avail.

Sly Pistachio posted:The States isn't completely broken. Verizon FiOS is available in millions of homes but it's a giant country. There's some municipal fiber providers who offer symmetrical 1 Gbps over here in the States. They're dotted about in small areas that have broken free from the cable/telecom monopolies and seen the light. It really puts things into perspective of what you could have, should have, as an American citizen. The giant evil cable/telecoms like AT&T and Comcast with their slow rear end speeds and bandwidth caps try their hardest to make sure the general American populace remains sheep and doesn't realize what a short end of the stick they're getting. Slight derail, but is there anything that can be done if a telecom (Comcast) has a choke hold on your area? Write your congressman? The mayor? Who? I don't think there are any alternatives around here.

I made a thread over at the official sabnzbd forums but I figured I'd post my issue here and see if anyone had any ideas on what the problem could be: Setup: 10.7 Lion with the latest version of sabnzbd. Asus RT-N56U Router with a NTFS-formatted drive attached with SMB. I am using Paragon NTFS to enable write access to the NTFS drive. I have a networked drive that I can read and write to with no issue in finder. I tried setting my complete folder to a location on the networked drive and in the download section, it shows the correct hard drive space remaining and doesn't give me any errors. After I download a file and it attempts to unpack it on the network drive, the items will show up as "complete" and say it's being moved, but when I go into the complete folder on the networked drive, the item's folder is there but it doesn't contain any of the actual files. If I go into the incomplete folder on the computer running sabnzbd, the downloaded file is complete in it. I also get this error: Error removing workdir (" ") If I set my incomplete path to the networked drive, the Download immediately fails and I get: » URL Fetching failed; Unusable NZB file, Try again So here's the thing: if I set the path to incomplete and complete folders to the computer running sabnzbd and have something like SickBeard run a script to move the file over to the networked drive, Sickbeard has no problems moving the files over. Does anyone have any ideas why sabnzbd isn't playing nice with my networked drive but sickbeard and finder do? Any ideas?

Disgustipated posted:Was it working before you upgraded to Lion? I know they are using a totally different implementation of SMB sharing now, maybe something to do with that? While I've heard that it's unnecessary for a shared network drive, I was having some issues writing to the NTFS networked drive on a before I ran into the sabnzbd issue. I would attempt to write to it, it would bring up the "copying..." box and then OS X would ask me for a password. After I entered a password, I'd get an error and it would leave a 0 KB version of the file I was attempting to copy on the network drive. I installed Paragon NTFS (after removing MacFUSE, which could have been the culprit) and now I can write to it just fine. While I don't think Paragon NTFS fixed the problem (maybe it was the restart after installing paragon?), there's no harm in keeping Paragon NTFS on my computer. I'm not sure if it worked before upgrading to Lion, I just purchased the router that lets me attach an external drive to. The admin on the sabnzbd forums is having me forward a debug log so now I'm just waiting to see what they say. edit: Apparently the issue has to do with the fact that sabnzbd uses Snow Leopard's Python instead of the Lions. My only options are to wait until they release a new edition that has Lion's Python or try and compile the program myself. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Aug 8, 2011 |

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong in regards to the script and CouchPotato? I moved the script to my script folder and had CouchPotato snatch a file but it didn't correctly switch the category and instead it says "Default" with no script to run selected. I made sure that the CouchPotato script is correctly allocated to the movies category. I don't remember having to do anything special to make Sickbeard's files apply the "TV" category and sabToSickbeard script. I'm using NZB Matrix, if that matters.

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.

Is there a general consensus on what the best sabnzbd/Sickbeard manager is for iOS? It seems like isn't one that can do everything. Qouch has a decent interface with Sickbeard and sabnzbd but no built in browser with support for adding nzbs to sabnzbd. SABMobile is nice but I'm not sure it's optimized very well for the bigger screen on the iPad. SABMobile HD looks really nice for the iPad but it isn't available on the iPhone.

For some reason, sabnzbd likes to randomly stop downloading files until I restart it. I'm using an airport extreme with MacBook air. My usenet provider is super news. My ISP is road runner. I never had this issue when I had comcast with a different modems a couple months ago. I've tried both SSL and non-SSL. Any ideas?

When something downloads with CouchPotato, it never renames the file/folder. Any idea why? I have it set to rename anything that is downloaded. Should it be running a script like sickbeard does? I just want the file/folder names cleaned up because of XBMC.

IratelyBlank posted:Does anyone here use Supernews? I recently switched after using Astraweb forever which I was really pleased with, but they moved to a paypal-only model and paypal gave me enormous problems trying to pay for it. The first few days I had Supernews it was great, I was able to max out my connection at about 5.4mb/sec and now it's really erratic all the time, going anywhere from 600kb/sec-3.5mb/sec, no matter which combinations of settings I use(including upping the # of connections). If this keeps up I may need to jump ship to yet another provider. I've been using Supernews for over a year and like it well enough. I do have some download speed issues but usually when that happens, it's my ISP, not Supernews. I don't really monitor speeds on any regular basis though.

Why does SickBeard sometimes not list newly aired shows but when you click on their TVDB link, they show the newly aired episodes just fine? I though they pulled episode airing from TVDB? edit: Another show has an airdate that has passed but again, I go onto TVDB and the airdate is different than what is listed in SickBeard.

Chick3n posted:Sickbeard updates daily at 3AM. If you shutdown your PC or only open Sickbeard when you need it, it may never update. Good to know. Another question - What's the best way to start "fresh" with an install of SickBeard on OS X, Cheetah and all? I'm having an issue where for some reason, SickBeard likes to close randomly, I have no idea why, but I have to go into Activity Monitor and Quit Process Python to get it running again. I have no idea why, and the people over at the SickBeard forums weren't much help, so I figured re-installing everything might fix it.

OS: 10.9 Mavericks Hard Drives: Mounted via USB on my Airport Extreme (newest model) I recently changed the name of my external hard drives on the network to "Media 3 TB" and "Media 1.5 TB". I also recently updated to Mavericks. Lately I've been having a ton of issues with post processing to the external harddrives - with SickBeard, I have it automatically run the SabtoSickBeard script. With other content, I have certain categories automatically move files to specific drives. Now I'm getting the following error: Category moving: Post Processing Failed for XXXXXX (Cannot create final folder /volumes/Media 3 TB/movies/XXXXXX/XXXXXX) Does anybody have any idea why this would be happening? The drives are properly mounted, the current settings on the Airport Extreme are "Enable file sharing", "Share disks over WAN", and Secure Shared Disks: with device password with "Remember this password in my keychain" selected. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure out what my issue is and I would appreciate the help. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Oct 26, 2013 |

Volguus posted:I've been with supernews for quite a few years now. When I had 100-150 Mbps internet I always hit the speed limit. Now I'm on 250 and I don't always hit it. That is, most of the time I download at max speed, but every now and then I go to 5 MB (megabytes, not bits) per second. Always assumed it was something with either my ISP, my neighborhood or that others in the house are hitting the net hard (netflix and friends). I'm tempted to try newsdemon, but they don't have that GoT promotion running anymore it seems. Or do they and is only active Sunday/Monday? I just switched my main provider from Supernews to Frugal Usenet. Hopefully I don't regret my decision - $40 vs $120 a year was too tempting.
