I use http://showrss.karmorra.info/ .. Can sick beard read those RSS streams?

Uuuuh - that looks nice! Thank you!

Supposedly Sickbeard could read from those feeds, if it will be implemented. Best way to achieve this: Fill a feature-request on the Tracker.

Edit:
The Feed you mentioned seems only to be reliable for non-hd-sources... that is a shame, otherwise it is a very nice site.

- Rannd - 2011-04-05

Does anyone else have a issue where you add a brand new show into Sickbeard and it wants to put it into another show directory?

It always shows this:
Adding show into E:\TV Shows\Saturday Night Live\??\

I'm not sure why it thinks that the Saturday Night Live folder is my TV Show root directory, lol

- dannycorker - 2011-04-05

Would you guys reccomend downloading tbn files, or letting XBMC handle the TV episode thumbs. I've always downloaded tbn's, and on multi-episode files for instance this results in all episodes having the same thumbnail, which is annoying. So I decided to test deleting the multi-ep file's tbn and re-adding to XBMC, which correctly scraped the right image for both episodes, looking much nicer.

It also appears that the created nfos contain links to the thumbnail from tvdb. So what is the advantage of using tbn files anymore for episode thumbs? If there isn't one, I'll get rid of them Smile

- HenryFord - 2011-04-05

Actually - if setup to do so (by default it is) - XBMC will generate the thumbnail from the video-file itself, so I found that is more reliable. I do not like the TBN-Files hence I deleted them and let XBMC handle them. Have yet to discover a downside.

- midgetspy - 2011-04-06

The thumbs on TVDB are guaranteed to be spoiler free though, if that sort of thing matters to you.

As for http://showrss.karmorra.info/, it seems counter-intuitive to have you go add shows to an RSS feed then add them in SB again... too bad there is no global feed there.

- HenryFord - 2011-04-06

It seems to be down anyways...how about this one:

Does XBMC add tbn/nfo files or is this done by SB?

As since i upgraded SB the tbn and nfo files are missing from the folders.

And what is the best way to get this back

I believe that XBMC does NOT store the tbn and NFO in the folder. Once the library is scanned for updates, if it finds the 2 files, it reads them and does not scrape from the internet. It then copies this to its own internal database.

In SB's settings Post Processing screen, you can tell it to save the files you want in XBMC format. Then it will store them with your shows. Just select XBMC from the Metadata Type pull down, and select all the checkboxes under "Create".

Force Full Update On Demand - sammyg122 - 2011-04-08

Hey,

This is a great piece of software, thanks for all the hard work. One question though, is there a way to do a force full update on demand for all shows at once? Or have it do a force full update for all shows whenever sickbeard starts up and then do so again every 24 hours?

My machine does not stay on 24/7 so the 3AM update tends to get missed...

Sick Beard Install, Setup, & Configuration Guide for Ubuntu & Linux Mint - daemox - 2011-04-08

Introduction

Hello! It's a new year and time again for another update to my long running Sick Beard guide. This will be the sixth update to this specific guide and I decided it was time for a change of scenery. As such, I am recreating this guide and retiring the current one!

This guide will receive updates throughout and will now be based primarily on Linux Mint and Ubuntu (not just Ubuntu). As with my recent XBMC Install, Setup, & Configuration Guide for Ubuntu & Linux Mint (and most of my future guides), this guide will be of a rolling release nature. It will be based on the current version of Linux Mint (with all the current updates), and updated at least every six months.

With my last guide, my introduction section had become far too long. So, to rectify this, I have broken much of the repetitive content out into a Guide Guide and it can be found on Ainer.org's About page. I strongly encourage you to take a moment to review that now. The guides at Ainer.org are written in a specific manner and this is well explained there. If you have any questions about content or style please check there first!

This guide is written using the Linux Mint mintMenu and Gnome based interface. It is similar to Ubuntu's menus, but not exact. If you have trouble navigating and finding the specific programs or locations that are mentioned in this guide please don't hesitate to ask me in the comments below or contact me directly as I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

This guide is considered a companion to my SABnzbd+ Install, Setup and Configuration Guide. This simply means that this guide assumes that you have SABnzbd+ installed and setup. If you do not, then you may not have some of the required packages already installed (such as Cheetah). You will need to install these prior to running Sick Beard for the first time!

Sick Beard is a super handy program that has seen an unbelievable amount of developmental over the last year. Even a year ago it was already incredibly functional, and it has only grown in it's robustness and in it's rich feature-set since then. This rapid rate of development however, means that there are regular updates to the interface and to the options. As such, you may need to make some adjustments as things change (until this guide is updated again!). Until then, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or to contact me directly!

For those of you that are not already familiar with Sick Beard, and are currently wondering why you should care about all this, think of Sick Beard as a program that fills a role similar to a Personal or Digital Video Recorder (PVR/DVR). You tell Sick Beard what shows you're interested in, and it'll keep track of them, search for them, and download them automatically for you. Then, when you have time and an interest to watch them, you do so at your own leisure. However, instead of using a television connection (such as a PVR), Sick Beard utilizes the Internet. And, instead of using a stand-alone device, Sick Beard runs on your own GNU/Linux based personal computer (PC).

Uh, EZRSS is already supported in SB and it does NOT use the scene names it makes up its own names which are completely different.

Hey! Very nice Guide, thank you for sharing. Is there any word on using the guide? As you can see in my sig. i am currently creating a full-featured XBMC guide, which includes Sickbeard as well. I could use your guide to implement more multi-platform compatibility. I would be glad to use it (if you want anything mentioned, just say so - I will write accordingly).
