goldchains posted:Sickbeard question. I dump all my files into a single folder. How do I keep Sickbeard from creating new folders for every show? I too dump all my shows to one folder. Create a folder somewhere out of the way and make a folder for each show in that. It keeps Sickbeard happy and doesn't take up any space. SABnzbd handles the processing and puts it in the TV category folder after that. I don't have Sickbeard handle anything after passing the NZB to SABnzbd, I don't archive anything, I just watch and delete.

Looks like a book and a star, the first two. Any idea what those are? The star is an informational URL that is sometimes encoded. A link to an IMDB page or TV shows website, usually TVRage. They should all mouseover and have something displayed though. Like this:  Is the other one one of these?  Left to right they're URL, Download size, download time/average speed, quick check/repair status, Unpack status/time. The only other icon I've come across in my current list of 1200 downloads is one for unpacking failed.

Nothing streams at that high a bitrate, Steam doesn't hit the cap unless you download in a dead period between sales, even normal HTTP downloads of software and such don't always hit it. No reason to go any higher for me.

I use a combo of nzbs.org, NZB Matrix, and NZB.su. They all have slightly different results. I usually rotate through them in that order when looking for stuff. The fact there are so many is great, the fall of Newzbin was rather healthy for Usenet as a whole I think. Everyone else got traffic and they all got a little better. NZB Matrix is worth the  I think. NZB.su is worth checking out too, they index a few things none of the other ones do, and organize things better for some stuff also.

Haven't had any Supernews issues today. (Cox/Phoenix) ---- I've got a strange issue with Sickbeard. I had a show that had it's 4th season premiere this week, but SB only showed 3 seasons. I tried several times to force the update, but it wouldn't get anything new. TVrage and thetvdb both show the season and episode. The strange part is if I deleted the show, then re-added it, it pulled all the new info. So it's not my connection to the DB listing doesn't work, it's like it's refusing to update some existing shows. Not everything, I only had issues with two series that I can tell so far. Deleting and re-adding fixed it in both cases. Anyone seen anything like this before? It's not a super huge deal, but I don't want to have to re-add 50+ shows to make sure they're all actually updating. E: Using the 488 alpha build. The newest one that's compiled.

I've only used 34GB of the 200 I had, but it's a good price to add a bit on. Most of that was used when I had a billing issue with supernews for a weekend. I had a connection issue with Supernews on Tuesday it seems, since the blocknews servers pulled 1.5TB. That's why backup servers are nice, I never noticed the downtime until I checked the logs just now.

devmd01 posted:People still download poo poo in sd? If you've got an ISP that has harsh bandwidth limitations I can see wanting to get some stuff in SD and just get select things in HD. When I had 1Mbit cable I usually got sitcoms and daily news stuff in SD and got the latest episode of a Sci Fi series in HD to enjoy the special effects. Now that I have 25Mbit cable and more than enough quota it's all HD.

neongrey posted:Just re-quoting this because seriously I have no idea what to do at all and it's pretty much making sickbeard unusable. Have you tried uninstalled SB entirely and reinstalling it fresh? Deleting all its directories and config files and such? You should be able to do a "Add Existing Shows" on a virgin install and point it to your new folder with minimal trouble then. I went from Windows to a Linux install and went that route, I just pointed it at the directory with all my folders and it only took about 15 minutes to get it all back to where I had it before. No config files or anything at all brought over. As long as you have the folders for the shows where you want them most of the work in setting it up again is already done.

LaserWash posted:Hmmm... Pulled my supernews on a 10 mb cable connection down from 30 to 6 connections... No difference in download speed (unless I need to restart). Max appears to be 1.3 mb/s. 10 Megabits per second is 1.25 Megabytes per second. So you're maxing it out just fine. Internet service is always advertised in megabits (Mb, big M little b) and SABnzbd displays your download speed in megabytes (MB, big M big B). Google calculator can do the math to covert the two numbers for you.

FISHMANPET posted:Was gonna post this same thing. What's the CPU? There's a reason I have my NAS that runs SickBeard and SABznbd on a seperate machine from my XBMC machine (though even XBMC lags when Sickbeard updates the library, the price I pay for a 20 watt HTPC). I have a 40 watt HTPC and I have no lagging issues at all.It's a (true) dual core 1.6GHz Atom CPU with an nVidia ION GPU though, it offloads everything to the GPU so it sits there most of the time at about 5% use on either core while watching blu-ray rips. I have my incomplete on a 2.5HDD and my complete folders on an USB External 2TB drive. It's smooth through the notifications of it starting to download something and when it's complete. I'm surprised at how smooth everything works considering how modest the specs are.

Hogburto posted:Are some of you guys handling SAB's parity and decompressing on spindle-based laptop drives? Yep. It takes longer than on another drive, but I don't mind the wait. 90% of what I download is though Sickbeard anyways, so I'm rarely sitting there waiting for stuff to decompress and repair. My HTPC is an ASRock ION 330. Starting to get older, but still a bit more muscle than your average nettop of its day. I got it because even when running parity it uses a whopping 40 watts. Much more affordable to leave on all day than my desktop. My GPU alone uses more than that when idle. (Actually, I did the math using my KillAWatt meter. It was cheaper to buy another small PC than to leave my desktop on for a year.) I just redid it, moving from XP to a XBMC Live install. All slick now with a customized interface.

Check out NZBMatrix too. It's come through for some stuff that others haven't quite often. I've found the VIP $10 worth it in my case. Interface isn't anything to write home about, but it works. I usually sign up for most of the indexers I come across, at least a free account. Helps in case of site outages or closures as is the case with nzbs.org. I'll probably toss $10 over to DogNZB also since it seems to have a pretty well polished front end and developer who is active in improving and tweaking the site. And definitely get the browser extension. Makes things much smoother for every site that doesn't get a little "Send to SAB" button. As soon as you download a .nzb file it sends it over to SABnzbd as fast as if there were one.

Your BD-Rip downloads should be pulling huge 20-40GB uncompressed rips. 720p and 1080p HD Movies are x264 video in a MKV wrapper usually. "scene standards" and all that. Anywhere from 4-12GB depending on the specifics. Usually 8ish gigs for 1080p films in my experience. 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.

MeKeV posted:I've just noticed my Sickbeard seems to have trouble adding the sort of TV shows that you might want to watch every day. I'm guessing this is down to the massive list of episodes it needs to add to the database. Is this a known issue? I have one of those on my SB list, it takes hours to add since this one has hundreds of episodes. Eventually it should be good, if you ever do a full refresh you just gotta sit tight. I have to set the one I watch with a custom quality, since the only copies that get regularly get uploaded are 720p rips, but divx encodes.

Mostly piddly poo poo that doesn't matter and I use once year or less, but I don't have to reset them or have any others compromised if one goes down. On topic: I totally forgot I got a VIP account at DOGnzb way back in April. It's been set up as another SB provider since then. I have it set up as SB Index -> DOGnzb -> NZBMatrix. Last month I had 48 snatched. 7 from NZBMatrix, 7 from DOGnzb and the rest from the SB Index. So it gets some use. I like having a variety of providers set up, so if there is a system outage or one goes down for good I'm not stuck.

Boris Galerkin posted:Can anyone explain to me what all these terms mean that come up when I search for nzbs? Things like proper, repack, nuked, etc. I'm assuming repack means exactly what it means (i.e., the previous version uploaded was incomplete) but the other stuff? A nuked release would be one that was uploaded, but is not good for some reason. Bad audio sync in a video file for example, or perhaps it wasn't encoded to scene standards. A proper would then come afterward with corrections. Repack usually refers to a re-encoded file. So you might see Repack or Proper for a fixed file. Most of the other stuff will have to do with the format the file is in. E: Dang, shoulda hit refresh one last time.

It's making a _failed_ folder where it's complaining. Happening with stuff SB postprocesses and ordinary files. It's making _failed_ folders, so it seems it can write to the drive.

From the console on the Ubuntu pc running SAB, as the user SAB runs under, I can do any file move/copy/create into those same folders. Edit: It's definitely a permission error. Went through the logs: code:I have no idea what permission it doesn't have. Everything I check shows it has full control.

So how does SABnzbds quota system work? It has never really been accurate for me. For instance, this month I've pulled 47GB according to SAB, but it says I've only used 25GB of my quota. I think I have it set to reset on the 20th, which is when my ISP resets the count, but it has never matched up. I'm not sure what I'm getting wrong. I have it set as 19 23:59 to get the time in there, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

I just got the android app NZB 360 working for three indexers and SAB, SB, and CouchPotato. This is really slick. It's not free, but it's really well polished and the dev seems pretty active. I installed the VPN Server that Synology offers for my NAS, and had my phone connected with it's native VPN client in about 5 minutes. Didn't even have to open all of the services to the outside world.  I'm really impressed with how much crap I've managed to cram into this little dual core Atom powered Ion box.
