Sick Beard - Automatic TV Show Episode download/sort/rename, nfo/tbn maker & TV Guide

Srgt_trash: Unfortunately it's the same problem but in a different piece of code. As far as I can tell there is no way for me to fix that, it's a problem with python itself. If it's possible to get me an account on that PC I could try debugging it, other than that I don't know what to tell you. SB gave python a unicode string and python tried to decode it to ascii rather than something else.

Hey midgetspy,

Thanks for the reply, fortunately I have found a workaround for the bug. Manually removing the invalid character in the filename allowed Sick Beard to process it and every other file afterwards.

Cheers!

P.S. Just wanted to say thank you for your time and effort in developing Sick Beard!

Code:

Various errors such as this are in the log each time SB attempts to read the rss feed from Nzbmatrix.

Im running this on a Fedora system, updated to the latest git master

Any help on this would be appreciated if anyone knows. With the latest git, still unable to use nzbmatrix at all, always get the same error as above

I just made a clean install of SB and need to set up two things, which I forgot how it is done. Quite basic, but will need your help to refresh my memory:

1) Post-Processing - advantage of using the sabToSickbeard script rather than native SB functionality?
* Am I correct that both actually do the same? If so, why does the script exist in the first place?
* I want all downloaded episodes renamed, moved into the respective season folder and added all nfo and tbn

2) Accessing outside home network - somehow recall that I need to do add a "path" somewhere
* Anyone remember what I had to do to allow SB to be accessed?

This problem is nzbmatrix related, they seem to have enourmous server problems currently...

I have been using Sickbeard for quite a while. I am almost to the point where I could consider dropping my cable service. The opportunity now, is that the hard drive dedicated to TV Shows is filling up. Is there an easy way to manage the retention of TV shows that are managed by Sickbeard? Some shows, you would want to keep all shows, others would be keep 2-3 episodes available.

Take Care

build 495 is out. make sure you update

I've been running Sick Beard for a couple months now just fine and all of the sudden, it has started leaving the folders like this:


It is leaving this in my /Completed/ folder where the completed downloads are put before they are post-processed. Post-processing still does it's thing and the episode is renamed and copied to my server, but folders like these are left behind with all the downloaded contents still inside. I don't think I changed anything. Any ideas what the problem could be?

that would be couchpotato trying to process that.. since its not a movie it ends up as unknown

I have exactly the same problem. Doesn't happen every times, just every now and again.
Plus, the actual series episode HAS been copied to the new location, but also left behind in the completed folder. And both sickbeard and sabnzbd give a failed to move error.

Don't think it's couchpotato, since couchpotato looks at a subfolder in my setup. Don't know how it is for Rockdawg though.
