Sick Beard - Automatic TV Show Episode download/sort/rename, nfo/tbn maker & TV - HenryFord - 2013-05-20

Could you elaborate? I'm assuming those password-protected releases are only uploaded by "aMMo"?
However - this would be a quick workaround that should do the trick for the time being. But ultimately I'd like to see some special handling for failing downloads (just a tiny request, I'm very happy with the stuff sickbeard is doing today Smile )

I hate to say it guys but this thread doesn't seem to get checked much. As per last page, add requests to the dev page, otherwise these forums seem quite active.

There has been a lot of that - I would assume its an attempt to stop programs like SB from working when the episode is actually released - unfortunately, due to the lack of failed download handling its working.

just use better indexers. make sure your indexer actually has it set to discard passworded releases.. nzb.su recently broke their spam script so a bunch of stuff got through. i reported the problem and its been good since.

Been using sick beard and man is it a great program.
Am I right in assuming there is no add-on for XBMC that is currently working? Would be nice to be able to handle my queue/library from my HTPC, but it won't run SB, just XBMC (I am guessing. Running XBMC for android).

Guys, needing some help. I'm trying to get sick to download mp4 version of shows but keep them in HD. Any clue as to how change preference on extension. Doesn't appear in sick settings anywhere that i see. Please help. Thank you

Completely wrong thread, anyway Sickbeard is working great for me!


Failure - steve1977 - 2013-06-10

Out of nothing, SB stopped working for me. Log below. Any thoughts?

Jun-10 20:26:23 ERROR MAIN :: Fatal error executing query: database disk image is malformed


RE: - HenryFord - 2013-06-10

Looks like there is something broken with your database. Either try to recover from a backup, if you have one (I think SB does make backups from itself once in a while), or you have to completely start over...


Re: - steve1977 - 2013-06-15

Thanks HenryFord, I started from scratch an now it works.

One more question, which may be a feature request. I am using "custom quality" and downloading whatever is available. I would like then to redownload until HD quality is available (which can be HDTV, 720 web-DL, 720 bluray, etc.). How it is currently set-up, this is not working.

I am sure that you know how CP works. This would work if implemented the same way in SB.

Thanks for considering!

When will Twitter notifications be fixed, they broke some time in early June when Twitter changed the API


RE: Sick Beard - Automatic TV - jakks - 2013-06-29

Knowing how often they release window build updates, months

its fixed in development. so if you run from source just switch to that branch. if your running windows binaries just wait for next build. will try and get one pushed out in the next few days
