Yeah, I got that update, I usually open SB at least once a week and update whenever I see the update bar at the top of the page.

I didn't have to rename and re-add. I did I force full update and it seemed to pick up the new seasons.

correct. thats because you have the fix. the delete + add back was how you did it before the fix.

I'm at my wits end with SB. I did a full reinstall. A few days of working fine and it's at it again. I do a full system reboot and immediately on reboot it snatches 12 items that it should have already found, basically all the WEB-DL versions of HD shows it's already snatched.

Same here — Dexter is set to initial HD TV/720P/1080P, finish 720P/1080P. Seasons 2 and 4 are in 720P, but Sick Beard highlights them as "low quality" in the list and has just re-added the 1080P versions.

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)

On a similar note, I had one particular episode of Good Luck Charlie that SB just decided was a better quality than what I had, even though it was the same nzb. In fact, it was the only version of that episode online. It must have queued it up 30 times to download it with the same version showing as downloaded. 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 06:44

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.
