Not sure if it is my fault but I only had 1 part of the Lost finale (SD), the nzb had only a single episode number but contained cd1 and cd2, fortunately cd2 was replaced by cd1 but I don't know an elegant solution for fixing nzbs so resorted to other means for the second part.

1) Known issue: http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/issues/detail?id=197
2) Those are things it found on the RSS feeds
3) Left over code from before - open your config and change "tvbinz" from 1 to 0.

bobrap: fixed in build 451

If somebody wants to meticulously document how to set up Git on Windows, the general steps are (stolen from sumofatguy, hehe):

1) Install Python
2) Install Cheetah (help)
3) Install MSysGit[/ur]
4) Install [url=http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/]TortoiseGit

5) Right click on a folder in My Computer, Tortoise Git -> Clone
URL: git://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard.git
Directory: wherever you want SB to be installed
6) Double click on SickBeard.py (does this actually work? I do it from a command prompt)

Then you just right click on your SB dir and do a Git Pull when you want to update.

I hate to be too greedy, but is there a way to automatically pull updates?

edit: The link for Cheetah help doesn't seem to work...

And no you have to manually click "Git Pull" to update your source.

Wow, running from source is COMPLEX. Sheesh.

Apparently you also need setuptools installed. I installed that. Now its trying to install something called Markdown, but the download failed. I tried to download and install it manually, but the setup won't run. LOL, this is like dependency hell.

k1282 Wrote:hi guys.
i just wanted to check for new episodes of a series, and recognized that sickbeard corectly sent the corect links of the episodes to sabnzbd. however, sabnzbd was just tryng to connect to the url, and could not get the nzb file for downloading. even a manual add of the url did not work. in the ende i had to use the url in my webbrowser for downloading the nzb file and uploading it to sabnzbd myself.

the url did not work for both bin-req and nzbs.org

where lies the problem? sickbeard, sabnzbd or the search providers?

I also get this, it's quite annoying and doesn't seem to be a fix out there yet. It's a problem on SABNZBs end. Sometimes you can shutdown sabnzb and restart it and it will then grab all the URLs. Sometimes you need to manually download one, then shutdown SABNZB/restart and then it will grab the rest. It's a bit hit and miss.

No it's not.
1. Install python 2.6.
2. Install Cheetah with the c compiled version of...whatever the heck that file is you need to be compiled.
3. Include your python path in your windows path variable.
4. Download git source. Extract to folder.
5. Run sickbeard.py.
6. Huh
7. PROFIT!

I just started having this problem a few days ago and I have made no changes to my SABnzbd+ 0.5.2 install. Even when I use the chrome SABnzbd+ plug in to directly send links to SABnzbd+ without sickbeard even involved it sits there trying to find URLs on all the major remaining providers. Quite annoying to have to go through each manually... Wonder what changed, the URLs work find in a browser like you said.

Maybe someone could make a similar script to the one in this post to help people update from git.

I found this thread over in the sabnzb forums:
http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=3390.0

Seems to be the issue we are experiencing. Unfortunatley doesn't have much of a solution in there :/.

Edit: reading deep through that thread... seems the sabnzb devs arn't sure how to fix the issue and often are blaming the nzb sites. It is strange though that this never happens to sickbeard when it downloads the nzb itself.. surely there is something wrong with the sab code, otherwise sickbeard would have the same issues.

Further Edit: They claim a fix when 0.5.3 comes out Smile

I guess until then, maybe the blackhole is temporary solution...

No i didn't... I was busy working on the new sickbeard.org website. There is a
step-by-step for windows and a link to one for ubuntu written by Ainer.

It is at http://www.ainer.org/?p=429

If you use Python by ActiveState, it comes with a package manager and you can install cheetah a lot easier... You just do something like

ppm install cheetah

and it will search repositories for cheetah, download it, download all dependencies, and install everything.

Only problem is there is a bug in certain versions where it refuses to serach the free repositories and and tells you you aren't allowed to download cheetah from the paid ones... fortunately i had an old version lying around after i reformatted my OS drive...

This should help beginners a lot as installing cheetah is the hardest part of running from source. You don't HAVE to use a Git client since Sick Beard is so small, you can download the whole zipped source in a few seconds anytime there are updates.
