I've just had to reformat and I'll be buggered if I can remember the scripting process for SABnzbd. Before, things went into respective categories, but I don't remember how I did this. Right now I think I've got the sickbeard one set up properly (in the folders menu I set the post processing scripting folder to the autoprocess one in sickbeard followed by making a "sickbeard" category with sabtoSickbear.exe set as the script in the categories menu.). The thing is, I don't recall how I set up the other categories so that other non sickbeard stuff would download into their different categories. Was there an automatic thing that now has to be set up manually? Or am I just blanking on setting up multiple category folders?

td4guy posted:Why would you want SABnzbd+ to convert your .avi files or whatever back into their original rar set? That's just silly. The only use I could think of for that would be storage of 4GB+ files on fat32 external drives. I wouldn't say that happens enough to warrant a feature though. Hell, it would be quicker to just manually split the thing with winrar yourself.

inpheaux posted:We actually got rid of categories well before the lawsuit went through. First we just stopped shipping with them pre-fetched, but left a "fetch categories" button. Then we nuked that as well. Not entirely sure why people care so much about categories, since they were 100% tied to Newzbin, which has been poo poo for ages. Now that the categories are gone and things are going into a simple "download" folder, i'm thinking the same myself. Even with sickbeard I ended up just navigating to the individual files and moved them to a single folder on an external drive to use on the ps3. I guess I thought that since I just got a 2TB HDD I was going to maybe store a lot more stuff instead of using and deleting and that's where auto category's would come into play. But that's not really happened yet. :/

I'm having a bit of an issue with the Sickbeard script for SABnzbd in that it keeps duplicating my files. I've got a "download" folder that I'd ideally like everything to get dumped in, but after the script has run through its renaming thing and trimmed out all the needless files. Instead it saves each complete folder of a file there (including all the unimportant stuff like samples) whilst duplicating the main file in the right naming structure in a folder structure that I think I have to use in order to configure Sickbeard properly (a general catch all folder split into different sub-folders for each show). I've been playing around with the settings for a few days now but with no luck? Is there something obvious I'm missing?

FISHMANPET posted:In the Post Processing config section in Sickbeard, do you have "Keep Original Files" checked? Ah, just found that. Cheers. Did a bit of googling too and found a guide for the configuration. I forgot that Sickbeard itself handled a lot of it. I've made a bunch of changes and hopefully it'll place the file in the right place. In the categories section of SABnxbd i've got "D:\Media\Downloads" set as the folder/path, that should mean that the file ends up in there no matter what right? edit: Bah, nope. It stuck the file in the D:\TV\showname folder instead of the generic downloads one. Kin fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Aug 24, 2012 |

FISHMANPET posted:Yeah, because that's the point of post processing. I thought part of the point of post processing was to rename files and strip out unnecessary content before placing it somewhere. You can customise the first 2 steps so why not the last? I mean it's nice and all to have them in sorted folders, but it's just a little odd that I can't seem to specify where the final file specifically ends up.

Has there been a degradation of the tv database or whatever it is that sickbeard uses that i've missed? There are a lot of what I would think are fairly popular things showing up as never airing or outright unlisted.

EvilMuppet posted:The worst thing about this is Matrix was the only indexer with anything approaching a decent UI for browsing. Everything else looks like it was designed my blind donkeys with prosthetic limbs. Yeah, nzbs.org is useful but it has a fairly "raw" feel to it compared to nzbmatrix. On top of that, i've never been able to get it to work right with SABznbd since they did their update a few months back (no SAB button). And when i click the download nzb link and tell it to run it through SAB it sends two instances of the same file to it forcing me to cancel the duplicates every time. Also, nzbs.org goes down a lot (which people seem to be experiencing now).

This whole thing has kicked me into updating all of the stuff, but i've hit a snag. I've updated SABnzbd to the latest version (0.7.6), tied it all in with sickbeard nad super-news (the connection tests say good) and set up the post processing, but I can't get it to work and nothing ever begins downloading (or appears in the history or queue screens). It does this irrespective of whether something is sent from sickbeard, a nzb is told to be sent to it from firefox or when it adds a nzb from my desktop. Usually one of these should work, but I can't figure out why SAB is refusing to activate anything. edit: I think I tracked it down to a pre user script setting. It was on, but is now off. What's that supposed to do? Kin fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Dec 12, 2012 |

This happens even though i've told firefox to use/send to SAB as the default action.. Is there a way to get rid of that for good or is it just a firefox bug?

Somewhat of a divergent topic, but does anyone know what the bandwidth usage for something like Netflix is like? I'm pretty sure my flatmate is hampering our connection with torrents (i can see the data ups and downs on the modem) but he swears that the only thing he's running is netflix. I'm assuming that doesn't upload anything hence why i think he's full of poo poo. 372MB up in 50 minutes so far by the stats.

PirateDentist posted:Depends on the quality. I believe SD Netflix is about 900kbps, which would be about 405MB for an hour. HD Netflix can run at 4800kbps, that'd pull down about 2.2 Gigs an hour. There's a Super HD they have as well that a few customers can get that's 5800kbps. (2.6GB per hour) Yeah, the stats in the router are where i'm getting the data from. At the minute it says 3.5GB down and 1GB up in just 1h 36 mins. Those are the only stats though so i'm not sure if it's counting data sent wirelessly through devices connected to it. It would be a bit of an odd thing to track though so i'm assuming that is the actual internet bandwidth that he's using.

Well this is the second time he's started doing this, but this time it's crapping out the router (it's some kind of "super hub" provided by the ISP. The first time i caught him and he claimed ignorance, i changed the wpa and told him to fix whatever it was on his system mysteriously uploading a poo poo ton of data. Looks like i'll have to do the same again. Annoyingly, the last time the router crashed/reset (about 10 minutes ago) it seems to have reset the admin password too, so now i have to hunt that out to get access to it again. edit: wpa key changed again, connection switches from turbulent to the fastest/smoothest I've seen it in weeks. My flatmate blows. I should probably mention that my flatmate isn't the type to use the connection conscientiously. If i introduced him to usenet or optimised his torrenting setup he's more than likely to just start downloading even more than he does already.

I'm sure the solution to this was mentioned somewhere in the thread months ago, but I've got a problem with sickbeard in that it only lists part of a season of a TV show. If i check thetvdb.com it lists all of them, so i can only think that there's something up with sickbeard. Does anyone know how i fix this?

I'm having a bit of difficulty in getting sickbeard to run on startup. I've made a shortcut to the exe (via send to desktop) and placed it in the startup folder, but still nothing. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit if that makes a difference. I somehow managed to get it working on another machine with the same version of Windows but I can't remember if there's something specific I did to get it to work. The sickbeard site just says to drag the exe into the startup folder (which doesn't actually create a shortcut), and i can't seem to find much information online about this which makes me think it's not something that's common. Any ideas?

I've got sickbeard running with XBMC accessing the library with the Aeon Nox skin, but i'm having a pretty terrible time with the images. Basically, the banner images in sickbeard aren't showing for everything and the preview season posters aren't showing in XBMC (they show a small zoomed in section of the background show picture). I thought i could just delete all of the images and try and update them, but doing that didn't actually change anything and then i couldn't find an option to update the images. Can anyone tell me what i need to do to reset/fix this? I basically want to show the banner images in the upcoming section of sickbeard whilst showing the show posters in XBMC.

I'm getting a bit of a weird issue with xbmx (gotham)/sickbeard since i've reformatted my machine. Whenever i download a new ep of something the season poster in xbmc is this zoomed in shot of an image for the series. This happened when using Frodo but my solution to fix it (i.e. telling xbmc to refresh info for all eps of a particular series) doesn't seem to work permanently like it did before. Basically, i get an ep for a series and the poster is screwed up like mentioned above, i hit refresh -> get from internet/ignore stored content and bosh, the poster art is updated. We watch an ep, delete it from the HDD, but when the next ep is downloaded the following week the same problem happens. I've noticed if we've not watched the episode for a series and another one downloads, the series poster remains fine, so it only seem to happen once we've watched all available eps of a show and deleted the video files from the system. Has something changed between frodo/gotham that i'm not aware of or is there an option i've missed something in the sickbeard post processing?

visuvius posted:Is anyone else having an unusual amount of stuff failing in the last few days? I'm on Newsgroupdirect and a bunch of my routine poo poo has been failing lately. Repair failed, not enough blocks blah blah. I've not had stuff fail but i'm on supernews and have noticed something odd. For newer items on usenet i'll pretty mushc get my max speed, but the older it is the slower my download speed gets. Like, something on day one will get 10-11MBps but something 500 days old will only get 2-4MBps at most. This has only started happening in the last week or so, so something's changed. I'm not quite sure what though because one of my other machines has this weird issue where it gets the maximum internet connection speed from usenet while the screen is switched off, but as soon as i switch it on it's halved to 2-4MBps and if i then bring up the chrome web browser, it drops further to just 500KB/s. All of this started happening at the same time this week and i can't figure out what the gently caress changed. edit: i should point out i'm connecting to the EU servers.

The Gunslinger posted:Have you checked if its hitting your backup server? That's usually what it is for me if I have slow speeds, it drops because the articles don't exist and it has to get them from my backup, the process is fast but your average download speed drops. nzbget shows you how much your backup is being hit while you download. I don't have a backup server  But if it's been happening on the US Supernews servers maybe it's something they've started rolling out to the EU ones (or I've just never really noticed it before).

serebralassazin posted:I have only noticed slower speeds on quite old post (rough estimate because it's been a while since I checked this out) around 1200+ days I'll say. When I first noticed it I played around with using the European server and turned off my backup server (Blocknews) so I would definitely just be using the US one. It's not a big deal since it doesn't slow to a crawl but I can usually hit my max speed (75Mbps) and when I have noticed the slower speeds on older post it will be around 20-30Mbps range. I've never been able to pull anything older than 1000 days off of supernews, despite them saying it has like a 2000 day retention or whatever it is now.

The Gunslinger posted:Yes it does do that, enable Completed Download Handling. In my experience its slightly faster at searches and supports failed download handling as well. Beyond that if none of those grab you then keep using Sickbeard. Just the failed download handling alone is huge for me, especially as DMCAs have become more aggressive. How does Sonarr compare to sickbeard in regards to updating TV schedules. I've found on and off over the last 6 months that sickbeard will regularly fail to properly update a series and as a result it will miss an episode of something. This fixes itself when i go in and do a forced manual refresh of a show but it's pretty annoying that i have to do that, never mind that i feel like i have to constantly check things to make sure the schedule is up to date and that nothing has been missed.

Disgustipated posted:I switched to Sonarr maybe a year ago, and I recall having this issue with Sickbeard as well. From what I remember Sickbeard doesn't really update shows except when it starts up, so since I left my computer on for months and months at a time it would never get a chance to do so. Haven't had an issue with Sonarr. I did wonder if it was to do with that, as i used to just sleep my machine but for the last 3 months I've been shutting it down completely. I've got sickbeard set to launch as soon as my machine starts up so maybe that's loving with it. If Sonarr doesn't have that issue I'll try making the switch.

Having a bit of a familiar postprocessing issue with Sickbeard but i can't remember how to fix it or what to google for the solution. Basically, it moves the files/folders from the 'download' directory to the 'TV' directory, where it then renames and moves the specific file to the appropriate folder. The problem is that it leaves the original downloaded folder in that directory too. As in there's: [showname] [showname-720p-words-blahblah] It used to delete it, but for some reason has stopped. I've got the 'keep original files' box unchecked in sickbeard's post processing config, so i'm not sure what else i'm missing.

Anyone on supernews seen an overnight drop in speed? I usually, pull in about 11-12MBs, but it's only been hitting about 2-4MB on a couple of my machines today. General speed tests don't show any issues with my connection itself. Edit: For more detail, i was connected to the euro server (news.eu.supernews.com). After updating SABnzbd to the latest version it's telling me it can't find that and i'm having a bit of difficulty fining details on supernews server addresses. Is it possible the server is gone and my slow speeds are now because i'm having to connect to the US? Oh, i also got a weird issue last week where i happened to be using the connection on two of my machines at once and it refused to let my second machien connect.

Something odd's just started happening with Sonarr on my machine. I installed both it and radarr and had them set to start up automatically but not launch the browser (i've got both interfaces pinned in chrome anyway). For the last week though, despite the toggle still being set to off, sonarr keeps on opening up chrome on start and then launching another tab in chrome in addition to the one that's already there and pinned. Any suggestions on how to fix it? When i look at the startup: Radarr, has 3 lines (Conhost, network command shell, radarr.exe) Nzbdrone.exe has 16 lines (the same 3 as the above, an Adobe Create PDF plugin listener for chrome, and 12 chrome lines with varying levels of priority). I'm assuming both Radarr and Nzbdrone should be the same in the startup, and that Adobe thing shouldn't be in there either as part of that NZbdrones process?
