I'm using Windows and can't remember how I initially set up Sickbeard, but yes, it auto-updates via git. I have msysgit installed: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ I don't have to do any manual compiling, though; I think it just runs from the Python scripts, no?

Has anyone run into the problem of SAB periodically not serving up the web interface? The only solution I've found is to restart SAB, then it starts working again. It happens a few times a day. I recently reinstalled Windows 7 and everything that goes along with it (SAB, sickbeard, couch potato) and it's mostly working just as before except for this problem. To begin I was just running the exe, then I installed it as a service to see if it solved the problem. Then I tried unticking multicore PAR. Checking the log file after it stops responding reveals nothing to me - when I restart the service the log file shows that everything is halted and restarted as gracefully as you'd expect. This leads me to believe that the SAB core is generally still working OK except for whatever serves up the web pages. Would anyone have any ideas of what to try next?

(Aus chat) I peak at around 2.5MB/s through Internode's news service, which I believe is Astraweb? That's pretty much maxing my connection.

justlikedunkirk posted:I have a bit of a silly question here about Sickbeard. My problem is that when I post-process anything it slows the computer down due to copying and pasting each file in the proper folder. Is there a way I can set it so that instead of re-name/copy/paste it just re-names/cuts/pastes instead? Maybe you need to uncheck "Keep Original Files" in the post-processing settings? <url>/config/postProcessing/

Wicaeed posted:For you Win 7 + Sab/Sickbeard users out there, is there any way to make Sickbeard run at Windows start (like SABNZBD does), but NOT open a new browser window when it's finished launching? In config/general, there's an option "Launch browser". But I would've thought that'd be linked to the ini. Note that I run from trunk so it may be a new thing.

BlackRider posted:I feel like I must be missing something obvious here. Is there no button in SABnzbd that lets you open the folder your files are being downloaded to? Or a way to launch the file you've downloaded? It seems like I just have to browse to it manually through Windows Explorer, seems disconnected. It's a web client and can be accessed over a network or the Internet, so it would have to know where you are accessing it from and what OS you are using. But perhaps such a feature could be added (with a flag) that would assume you are using it locally, and provide a link to open explorer (or whatever)?

Softcox posted:Does the time zone you are in affect SickBeard marking shows as "missed"? Nearly every episode that gets downloaded shows up first in my missed section in upcoming episodes and then only downloads when backlogging kicks in. DOES SICKBEARD DISCRIMINATE AGAINST AUSTRALIANS? Or am I retarded? Yes, I'm also in Australia and this is on old request that I've commented on from time to time. http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/issues/detail?id=127 It doesn't have any priority because it isn't actually a showstopper. Which is fair enough - it still downloads the episodes when they become available, it just stuffs up the schedule. Some people have mentioned changing the time that SickBeard thinks it is, but it looks like the system time is called in numerous areas. I guess I could override the system time call?

PirateDentist posted:Fake edit: I think I found some of these files, at NZBMatrix there is a BRRIP category, that has all these really tiny xvid and x264 files. Some of them are 720p. Like feature length videos from 800MB to 2GB. That's really low quality. Might be where the confusion is coming from. It looks like it's BluRay as a source, but not the proper quality. According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirated_movie_release_types quote:A common misconception among downloaders is that BDRip and BRRip are the same thing. They differ in that a BDRip comes directly from the Blu-ray source, while a BRRip is encoded from a pre-release, usually from a 1080p BDRip from another group. Of course that's just wikipedia and it's not like there's government-mandated control over these labels.

I'm running a tiny ubuntu-server VM on my windows PC. Makes it really easy to install and update these things, and I'm planning on putting a central xbmc database on it later. The best thing is that I can just back it up and move it to another computer or fresh installation of windows should the need arise. It's not for everyone but if you are a windows user and know your way around virtual machines and linux I recommend it.

Vykk.Draygo posted:Are you using it for anything other than Usenet programs? That seems like a lot more work than installing python with cheetah. I used to run it all in Windows and yeah it was fine, but I prefer this. As I said I'm planning on using mysql for a central xbmc database, and I've always had a small VM for shell stuff so it wasn't a stretch to do this. Even then, installing ubuntu-server is quick and apt-get installs and updates the dependencies more easily than in Windows. It's also nice to not worry about configuring windows services, and since I'm in Australia I set the VM to US Eastern time, so sickbeard now searches for things at the right time.

I've just removed dognzb from sickbeard because just now it snatched some fakes that won't actually be available until next week. This surprises me, though, because I thought sickbeard would only check according to schedule. Does it do a periodic 'just-in-case' blanket search as well?

I'd love to be able to set SABnzbd+ priority on individual shows in Sickbeard, so that I can have most things set to download during my off-peak schedule in SAB, but set just the few shows I want to watch as soon as they are available to "Force". I don't think it's possible but thought some of you may have ideas. I go into SAB when I know a show is out and manually force the downloads I want, so it's no big deal, but it would be nice to automate. edit: alternatively if there's any way to put filename keywords in SAB for the stuff I want to force, and leave Sickbeard out of it. edit2: now thinking I could write a pre-queue user script. gabensraum fucked around with this message at 01:09 on May 21, 2014 |

gabensraum posted:edit2: now thinking I could write a pre-queue user script. For the interested (nobody), this is what I've done, and it works well. Not as nice as configuring it against the show in Sickbeard, but it's simple and works. I've set it to be run in "Config -> Switches -> Pre-queue user script". It gets run whenever an nzb comes in, just before it is added to the queue. code:
edit: Actually sometimes it seems that Sickbeard doesn't populate the showname value, so it's safer to check to check against the nzbname value instead. Something like "if any(name in nzbname for name in force_shows):" Implementation is left as an exercise for the disinterested reader. gabensraum fucked around with this message at 14:08 on May 21, 2014 |

I'm about to try out NZBget over the SABnzbd server I've had for years, but has anyone used Sonarr on linux? Requiring mono would introduce an extra point of failure for me, where at least sickbeard is purely the python I already have installed for a dozen other things.

I gave up on my sonarr experiment for now because it ended up being a bigger deal than I thought to get my SSL certs working in mono with an intermediate cert. I'm sure it's something simple that I could have sorted out eventually with compiling a newer version but I generally just give up if what I want to do isn't in debian testing. With both sabnzbd and sickbeard I can just specify the certificates in the GUI.

I wish there was a way in Sickbeard to set an unaired episode to be ignored. There's just no checkbox until the time comes, but I'd like to ignore things like "best of" episodes in advance. Currently I pause it before those weeks if I remember, but usually I don't. Does Sonarr do that kind of thing?

Trip report, have been running nzbget and sonarr for about a week after sorting out mono's SSL issues and have now removed sickbeard and sabnzbd. As expected, sonarr uses more resources than sickbeard on my debian server and pages seem to load slower, but the functionality it provides is much better and is worth that cost. I really like how it monitors the download client rather than relying on post-processing scripts. I was happy with sabnzbd and wouldn't have switched to nzbget but the ability to prioritise all servers rather than just select backup servers was a killer feature. Had to install the videosort plugin for post-processing of non-TV downloads, but that was straightforward and I like the plugin idea rather than their trying to be everything to everyone. Thanks for the suggestion, all.

I just can't get Sonarr to retry failed downloads. I load up the app perhaps an hour or three after the failure and I click "Automatic Search" next to the episode, and it successfully downloads. But it doesn't do it without my intervention. I have "Failed Download Handling - Redownload" set to yes. Debian, Ver. 2.0.0.3357. I'll put in a ticket but maybe someone can tell me if I'm missing something obvious.

I'm not sure if somehow Sonaar is grabbing them before they are fully uploaded or what but it's been happening a lot lately.

Is there a setting in Sonarr to make it stop trying to get better quality if you already have a copy at a lesser quality? I have most shows set to 1080p, but sometimes I can't wait the extra day for a given episode of a given show so do a manual search and pick a 720p file. I then deselect the monitored option for that episode to prevent it from downloading the 1080p file when it becomes available, which isn't a big deal but if there's a global setting it would be nice to set it instead.

# ¿ Dec 14, 2015 09:10 |

Thanks, when I add old shows I set them to HD-All, which is good because it gets the highest HD it can find. It's not good for stuff currently airing though as I usually don't want it to download the 720p if it finds it first (and they're often available much sooner than the 1080p). Mine seems to be an edge case though so my current method of leaving the cutoff at 1080p and manually overriding and deselecting an individual episode when I can't wait is probably the best I'll do. No big deal, thanks.
