But I'm not, because the completion problems I'm talking about aren't due to takedown requests. How is that so confusing for you?

How can you tell the difference? I thought all completion failures pretty much looked the same.

I had to reconfigure my Sickbeard install, and now my post-processing doesn't work like it used to. I get "Unable to post-process an episode if the show dir doesn't exist" on a new stuff with no folders, but it used to create the folders for me. Every google search tells me that this is an option that should have been added sometime around 2011, but I can't find it. Can somebody help me, please?

Do you have permissions issues preventing Sickbeard from making folders? What does the full post-processing log say from SabNZBD (by clicking the scroll looking icon labelled "View Script Log"), or by checking the debug log from within Sickbeard?

The SabNZBD log is:

I don't think it would be a permissions issue, because if I add a new show to sickbeard it will create the folder.

If the folder is there, post processing works. If the folder isn't there, post processing fails.

I had a problem where shows were getting marked as wanted once they aired, but they wouldn't actually download until I went in and re-marked them as wanted. When they did download, it would create the folder in post processing. Last week, I deleted my Sickbeard setup and reconfigured it. Things download correctly, but now I have the folder issue.

Ever since I switched to NZBDrone, I get it redownloading stuff (recent, or old as poo poo) in better formats/ Propers, etc. I thought I had it set up to not do that, but maybe I missed something?

Advice?

You need to set the old seasons of shows to unmonitored, and also make sure you have it set to not download deleted files if that's something you want.

That said, I'm super stoked to be able to bulk import all the terrible 900mb movies to get them into the system then updating them to something non-potato quality.

Does importing work? I'm trying to import around 1.2 TB of video, but nothing's happening. It just says "Loading search results from TheTVDB for your movies, this may take a few minutes." and has been there for about an hour now. I can't tell if it's not working or if I'm trying to throw too much at it. I was able to add a new movie to the list, so at least that part is working.

I don't use any streaming services because why would I? Usenet Access is cheaper and has all the stuff I want available.

I've started watching everything I can on Netflix because you can skip the intro on pretty much everything. I didn't think I would care about that until I started watching older shows with 60-75 seconds worth of intro.

A media player should have no issues skipping in 10 seconds intervals. Sure, it can get a bit annoying, but to pay $10/month to not have to do that is a bit ... strange. That being said, I do still have netflix (even though I don't need it/want it) only because that's the only way the family let me cancel cable many years ago. I would drop it in a heartbeat if I could.

I watch plex on a roku with a logitech remote. I dunno which part is the real issue (pretty sure it's plex), but there's no forward skip, just fast forward. By the time I fast forward, it rebuffers, and I FF/RW as needed and allow it to rebuffer again, I might as well have watched the credits. Maybe it's not the *best* user of my $13 each month, but I'm ok with it.

Hmm, so as of this morning i've been getting the following error in SABnzbd.

Decoder failure: Out of memory

I tried reducing the article cache all the way down to 200MB but the same error keeps happening. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I've tried deleting my queue, restarting everything and even updated to the latest SABnzbd version, but no joy.

Everything was working perfectly last night so i've no idea what's changed.

According to this: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/introduction/known-issues#toc2 you shouldn't run it as a service, other than that did you check if you ran out of disk space? I don't think a lot of people here run sab anymore, so you may not get much traction.

Maybe I should ask this in some other thread, but I figure you guys may know best. When I watch things via Plex (PC server to Roku on TV with integrated speakers) the volume is ear blasting during action scenes and the like, but when the dialogue comes up it's super quiet. From what I've read the solution is to either change audio settings on my TV (I've checked and don't see anything applicable in my settings), buy an X.1 speaker system so the dialog comes out through the center channel, re-process the files with a different audio setup.

Is there anything else I should try? I really hate having to change the volume every so often and it makes the movie watching experience pretty awful for me. I don't really notice it on TV shows, just movies, presumably due to file type?

Try changing the volume leveling in the Roku. I changed that a few weeks ago and that seems to have fixed it, although I've not watched a lot of movies since.

I've noticed that Sonarr says every series has been removed from TVDB, which is mostly an annoyance as far as I can tell, but also you currently cannot add a new series.

I know this *particular* thing isn't really TVDBs fault, but they really seem to be the worst thing to have to rely on for anything.

EDIT: vv fixed, my bad

If you're gonna use farm, wouldn't it make more sense to go with frugal since you get farm access free? I'm on farm and have no issues, but I plan on switching to frugal when farm expires so I have access to both.

Anyone having issues with Hydra2 going unavailable in Sonarr and Radarr? I think it started last week when I updated it, and I've updated since and it's not better. If I test the connection in sonarr it gets better for a while, then it goes offline again. I checked the logs in Sonarr and they're a mess of API errors. I went thru Hydra and cleaned up those indexers, but it happened again after I was done. I can try to re-install an older version, but I would prefer not to do that if possible.

That is not the experience I had. It just refused to search for about 75% of what I told it to, with nothing hitting the logs. This was about 6 months ago though, so it's probably better now.

I feel like every few months I have to do a cleanup on my Sonarr/Radarr/SABNZBD setup. Yesterday I spent 30m horsing around because my HTPC restart automatically for a Windows 10 update, and because it didn't login to Windows none of the startup apps got kicked off. Then I saw I couldn't login to anything and had to reset the passwords. Then I saw the port number on the machine changed, even though I told my router to reserve it for that MAC address.

All in all it was a huge PITA and I didn't realize things were broken for so long..I effectively lost 1 month of downloading and afraid to kick it off again as the backlog is pretty huge (1TB bandwidth limit here).

So 2 questions:

1) Is there a way for me to tell W10 to stop restarting for any kind of update? I'm pretty sure I downloaded some tools to prevent this, but for whatever reason I run into this every month or two. Things like MSFT Edge get re-installed and plastered all over the place, and after logging in it tells me to set some kind of system settings up (I honestly forget what). I get there are some security updates and such that I absolutely should install at some point, but given I don't put anything personal on this machine I don't mind waiting a few days. It just seems like W10 is force-installing stuff on my behalf.

No. I mean, technically, you can spin up an AD domain and WSUS, but that would also require W10 enterprise for those settings to actually apply.

Bank posted:

2) Is there another way for me to track when these things die down? I presume there should be another way to be alerted that my port changed or something and SABNZBD can tell me other than having to login to the UI?

I would start by making sure everything is installed as a service, and make those services start on boot. The next step would be monitoring of some sort. The simplest would be to just load each page every day to see if they're working. If you have a second computer available, you can set up something like PRTG to watch either the web pages or the services and email you when they're down.

Are you using NZBHydra1 or NZBHydra2? I can't say I've had problems with Geek in NZBHydra2. The one I DO have problems with is my SimplyNZBs account for whatever dumb loving reason it keeps getting disabled in Hydra2 but it's also a pretty crummy indexer even though I have a lifetime account there so whatever, maybe I need to adjust Timeout values or something.

Anyways just re-activated my Geek and seems to be working. Glad it's back. DrunkenSlug is great and the only one I pay monthly for, the rest are lifetime or free but NZBGeek being out of commission for awhile was definitely very noticeble for my search results, it's a real heavy hitter.

I'm on Hydra2. I think I got it fixed yesterday, but I won't know for sure until some content is released.

Is lidarr worth futzing around with? I'm getting frustrated with streaming services so I've decided to create a small collection of artists and albums in Plexamp for some of my core favorites and then use streaming just for curated playlists and music discovery. I hate the modern slow UIs and Plexamp seems a lot faster with less social bullshit and easier navigation for just browsing my music. But it seems like usenet has a lot less coverage than what I'm used to back in the old NMP3s days so I don't even know if it would be worth setting up lidarr if there just isn't much out there to grab.

Personally, I wasn't able to find anything I wanted via lidarr. There's no real standard for tagging, so it's kinda a crapshoot.

Has it always been set to 20? It's possible that you're using too many and overloading your connection, maybe try 15 connections and see what speeds you get.
