TVShow.nfo Update? - Pr.Sinister - 2010-04-04 09:46

Does the TVShow.nfo ever get updated?

Sometimes, the rating or the channel is not populated when you add the show
but it is then updated on TheTVDB aeart a later time...

Also, some shows just end or get cancelled. So they should be changed from
Continuing to Ended.

For example, Nip/Tuck just ended but it is still marked as Continuing in Sick Beard.

No currently the NFOs never change once they're written but that's something that I plan to look into sometime soon. The status in Sick Beard is downloaded on every update so it probably hasn't changed on TVDB yet would be my guess.

Hi midgetspy

I had put on a post in nzbmatrix forum, related to he screwed up nzb files using the API :

Code:
....If i try to edit the file, inside there is lots of "characters" but nothing
like the structered nzb file.
Doing some experiences... i find out that if i rename the extension of the file
from *.nzb to *.rar, i could open the file, and inside the rar there is the
structured nzb file(perfectly valid) but without extension.(i hope this info
can help you guys to solve the problem

and the answer from FLASH was :

Code:
our API nzbs are compressed using gzip.  This is not normally a problem as most
browsers auto-decompress.  Im not 100% how your system works but I
would check gzip support.

Do you think it's a problem related to gzip support from SickBeard ?
Can you please check it ?

Thanks

I don't think its a sickbeard problem, since sickbeard just passes a url to sabnzbd. If anything it will be a sabnzbd issue. Midgetspy can correct me if i'm wrong.

*Edit* hmm maybe sickbeard if you are using it to grab the actual nzb to a dir?

I don't use sabnzbd.I'm using the blackhole method... download the nzb file to a folder, and newsleecher grab it.

If people want to continually stay up to date it makes much more sense for them to run from source IMO. I might put out a few alpha2 milestone builds for windows but just not as frequently as before.
Perfect! I was hoping that was the case.

I had the same problem with Newsbin Pro before they added support for GZip,
Zip and RAR compressed NZB files.

NewsLeecher doesn't support those. When using the blackhole method, Sick
Beard does the downloading and it doesn't uncompress the GZipped file from
NZBMatrix. It saves it as-is. If you try to download the same NZB with IE or
Firefox, you will see that these work because the browsers automatically
uncompress the files before saving.

If they are still compressed when you save with IE or Firefox then it is because
you are downloading an actual zip file and not an xml file that is compressed
on-the-fly.

The latest version of Newsbin Pro supports compressed NZBs if you want to
switch news readers. Better yet, go with SABnzbd and get the full Sick Beard
"experience"!

Here is a short thread on the NewsLeecher forums that confirms it's not supported :

P.S. If you rename the file to .nzb.gz instead of .rar you will see the real
file structure when opening it in WinRAR or WinZip...

Thanks for your help Pr.Sinister

I had already tried to change the extension, and it did worked.

Question about post processing, the wiki says this:

"Then set the appropriate script as your postprocessing script inside SABnzbd+/HellaNZB:"

How would I go about doing that? I am running SABnzbd on windows home server.

Thanks for sickbeard it owns!

midgetspy would you consider adding support for mysql.

I have been using sqlite command line tools to query database but it requires closing SB etc before you do the query and then reopening after to ensure no corruption occurs. Obviously this is a Kludge

Since XBMC supports mysql now it makes sense.
