Okay I have an issue. Sickbeard seems to be doing its job perfectly except once the files are loaded onto SABNZBD instead of actually downloading the NZB SABNZBD shows:
"Trying to fetch NZB from http://www.Bin-Req.net/download.php?nzbid=28441" or "Trying to fetch NZB from http://nzbmatrix.com/api-nzb-download.php?id=671703&username=XXXX&apikey=XXXX&scenename=1 " as two examples. I have installed version 0.5.2 of SABNZBD+ and updated to the latest sickbeard. If i copy and past the link into IE it downloads the NZB fine? Am i missing something simple like a setting somewhere? Your assistance is appreciated!

First grab SAB 0.5.3 RC1 then see what happens.

Hello again,

I am once again looking for someone to help me out. I have set up my brand new WHS and would like to put Sickbeard and SABnzbd on it to download my TV shows. I currently run it on my HTPC and it works good. I am a real neophyte when it come to WHS and am not sure how to install these programs. I have seen that they should be installed as a service, but I do not know how to do this. Can anyone explain the steps needed to install these programs in WHS or point me to some instructions?

Thanks,
Mark

You'll need:
* AnyServiceInstaller from here: http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php?/topic/8566-any-service-installer/?

* Windows 2003 Resouce Kit - Google it Smile

Assuming you're using the compiled version and not running from source, just point the AnyServiceInstaller at sickbeard.exe and sabnzbd.exe. If you need an actual walkthrough, I can probably put one together this weekend (assuming anyone else hasn't)...

Thanks... seems to be working now Smile


No Reservations - durin - 2010-06-18

I am having a problem with Anthony Bordain: No Reservations with Sick Beard. The issue I am seeing is that TheTVDB says it is on Season 6. However, all the posting on nzbs.org etc those episodes are labeled as Season 7.

Anthony.Bourdain.No.Reservations.S07E01.720p.HDTV.x264-SYS
Anthony.Bourdain.No.Reservations.S07E02.720p.HDTV.x264-ORENJi
(etc)

Is there a way to have it season for S07 instead of S06 for just this show?


- mwkurt - 2010-06-18

Thanks Mattressfish! I appreciate the tips. I'll give it a try this weekend.

Bobb25: There are two separate SAB bugs in your post. First, bin-req will gurrently never work if you send direct to SAB, only if you use black hole. This is due to a bug in SAB with gzipping (supposed to be fixed in 0.5.3). The NZBMatrix one is a generic urlgrabber bug, that one can be fixed by restarting SAB if it gets stuck on a particular URL. 0.5.3 is supposed to fix that as well.

Durin: if TVDB is out of sync with the scene there's nothing I can do about it, sorry.

I am getting the folllowing error message in the "log". Everything appears to be running, but it asked me to post, so please see below:

"Error while searching NZBS, skipping: BAD STUFF HAPPENED
This should never have happened, post a bug about this!"

Any thoughts?


- steve1977 - 2010-06-19

Not sure whether this is already feasible or actually constitutes a feature request. I am using SABnzbd+ together with Sick-Beard (both on a NAS).

My TV shows are on 2 harddisks and Sick-Beard nicely watches new shows upcoming and triggers download via SABnzbd+. Unfortunately, the downloaded espisodes will then end up in the folder of the 1st harddisk (as defined by SABnzb+). Some should go on the 1st and some of the 2nd.

Is there any chance to make this happen?

Looks like the problem is that 'happened' is spelled wrong. Big Grin

Read the readme.

I was thinking of expanding this, but before I do, has anyone tried this or care? FWIW, you can also use it to download, unzip, etc the source for the first time...


- kricker - 2010-06-19

I care and plan to try it tonight or tomorrow.

I use it. It's great.Nod I had to remove the part about stopping and starting the service since I run it from source. Come to think of it, this is downloading the source so how are you running it as a service? I just used wget to access the shutdown link of sickbeard then started it again after it was done.

Just out of curiosity, what does %~dp0 mean in the batch file?

Thanks for the work on this. It was such a pain in the ass to update sickbeard before.

I too (obviously) run it from source, but I like the wget shutdown idea. Brilliant!

%~dp0 = whatever the path of the batch file is.
