Couple that with SAB's range selection deciding it doesn't want to work properly and you have a lot of tedious clicking…

I've had to mark the series as Archived just to get Sick Beard to stop continually wasting my bandwidth re-downloading something that's already at a finish quality. It's not as if my connection is particularly fast as it is!

Nothing obvious in the log (though I did notice that Newzbin was enabled despite my not having an account — and NZBMatrix was disabled even though I do have one! So some good's come of this Big Grin)


if you deleted the show then added it back.. and didnt have sb use the quality tags in the naming process then when it got added back the episodes lost their qualities.. thus they were 'unknown' and yet were NOT an archive quality.. thus it started to d/l an archive quality that you have set.

if you let sb name your shows and put the quality in the filename this wouldnt have happened.

Wow, many assumptions by you, all wrong. Sickbeard does name my shows and the quality is contained in the name. Here's an example:

Breaking.Bad.s04e11.Crawl.Space.720p.WEB-DL

Downloaded today after my reboot of my system.


- clubwerks - 2011-09-27

And I'm not sure what you're saying wouldn't have happened. The part you quoted was about SB not downloading the better quality that became available. Yet, after a reboot, as I stated, 12 shows immediately started downloading, including the episode I showed above.

I'm really not sure with how my naming conventions would stop SB from completing it's task. My setup, naming, file structure, etc couldn't be more anal retentive. Every single episode of every single show is named exactly like that.

if you have an initial quality of SDTV and then archive quality of SDDVD.
sb will d/l an sdtv version unless an sddvd version is there at that search.. if not then it will then at a later date replace the 'lower' quality sdtv with sddvd.

how does sb really know that the file is sdtv? well it uses the nzb/rss search results and if the file was scanned/obtain manually it scans the filename and figures out the quality.. if it can't it assumes a unknown quality.

now about my 'assumption'. if you had a file in sb and it in fact know what quality it was.. but then you blew away that information and sb couldnt parse the filename to figure out the quality it assumes it's unknown (which is the lowest quality) and with your custom quality (archive) it will just fetch to complete it's backlog queue job on fulfilling the requested archive quality.

but anyways you can just go consult the logs as they are pretty verbose and should tell you why it did what it did.

Does anyone know why SB does not seem to be moving my episodes into its season directory? It seemed to have been working before and now it puts it in the tv shows root folder. eg. Breaking Bad ep 2 is moved in the /tv/Breaking Bad/ folder rather then in its correct season folder.

EDIT: I think i figured it out. I had Sab organizing the files before and used Season folders without the 0X formatting so it was confused. Renamed and added the 0 in front of the season number and all is well now.

Sorry, wasn't very clear in my original post - I haven't deleted and re-added the show (hadn't spotted that the OP mentioned this) and I do have the quality tags in the names anyway. Plus everything's working as expected with everything that isn't Dexter...

SB never searches for anything. It stops searching. It's doing it again. Here's a cut and paste of the log from just now.

Sep-27 07:31:21 INFO CP Server Thread-10 :: Seeing if we need any episodes from Castle (2009) season 4

Sep-27 04:24:08 INFO SHOWQUEUE-REFRESH :: 95451: Writing NFOs for all episodes

I know for a fact that the web-dl of Castle 4x02 has been available for over 2 hrs. My search is set for every hour. It is the only quality I want, so it hasn't DL anything yet. If I force a search or force a backlog, this is all the logs show, seeing if we need any episodes. It never actually searches or finds anything. Now, I'll reboot my machines and report back with my findings.

And, you can plainly see, before I forced those searches, SB hadn't done anything for over 3 hours.

Found the only quality of Castle I have set (web-dl), a better quality of Terra Nova (which it DL the HD version last night) and a recent episode of Shake it Up (one of the many qualities I have set). All of those became available within the last 2-12 hours.

I don't really need anybody to explain how SB works to me. I've used it for over a year to DL probably 15TB of my favorite shows, both old and new. I've got a real good grasp of how it works. This is a very recent thing. Somehow it seems to be falling asleep and the only way to fix it is to completely reboot my computer.

I'm getting a new hard drive delivered this afternoon. Anyone got a suggestion on how to configure sickbeard to start putting new shows there? I'd prefer to not have to move existing show files, but I don't see a way to have multiple directories per show. Any advice would be appreciated!

I don't think you can do that. You can make SB start putting new shows on the new hard drive, but I don't think a show can span two drives. Although, in all honestly, it really doesn't need to. As long as SB can put the new shows somewhere, just edit it's location to the new hard drive and set the old episodes to skipped.
