Im really hoping to get full automation for my xbmc experience, at the moment i use media companion and scrape my tv shows.

I find that the .nfo that sickbeard has is somewhat basic missing out on what media companion gets. ie.

<streamdetails>
</streamdetails>
<runtime>
</runtime>

Is it possible for sickbeard to obtain these details.

Thanks

HenryFord Wrote:Also you could try to modify sabnzbd: In Sab you have the possibility to change the file-permissions on download (I am actually unsure wether this option is present on windows...well...it is on linux, sorry cannot test another machine). Set them to 777 and see if that works for you.

HenryFord Wrote:Yeah, I suspected that...

Mhm...maybe you could work another way round:
Try creating a batch-file which will set the permissions for the files, after sickbeard moves them.

See here for reference:

With Windows > XP you can just run "cacls" from the command-line, as XCACLS is integrated in windows now. Just replace "xcacls.exe" in the mentioned support-thread with "cacls", you do not need to download the file mentioned in the post.

My suggestion would be the following: You create a simple script that runs first the sickbeard-postprocessor and changes the file permissions afterwards via the Windows API (so you don't have to use cacls). Problem with this is: You need some logic in order to determine where sickbeard puts the file (you could just use the output of the pp-script).
I could try and write a litte application for that, but currently my raid is broken (one HDD went away) and well...windows does not seem to like that (sometimes you just have to hate it... linux has no problems whatsoever with it...) and I have to wait until I can rebuild my raid in order to get access to my c#-tools.

thesuffering Wrote:writing a script is currently above my level of expertise. guess ill continue doing it manually with
icacls "c:\media directory\*.*" /t /grant Everyone:R
until i can find a way to automate it or the sickbeard devs can figure out what is happening

HenryFord Wrote:If you do it for all files anyway, you can use a simple bashscript, which runs after sickbeards-pp.

The ".bat" should look like this:

Code:

start /WAIT 'path to sickbeard-pp-script (the exe)'
icacls "c:\media directory\*.*" /t /grant Everyone:R

Then put the bat-file into the pp-script-folder of sabnzbd and choose in the "category"-settings in order to apply it automaticly for new downloads. This way you will run the pp-script of sickbeard and then perform the acl-operation automaticly.

In order to create a bat-file (which is executable by windows), just create a new text file, write the text above into it, save it and then change the file extension from "txt" to "bat".
