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

You can remove mythbusters from the exceptions now

thetvdb.com has finally fixed it (kinda - they are now just matching tvrage.com but still). It now should match scene releases.

any ideas anyone

What's in your autoProcessTV.cfg?

First of all. Best name for an app ever. lmao

Secondly, I had a chance to setup your fine looking program last night. Awesome! Loving it already. Haven't fully tested it out yet but managed to get all my shows setup with little to no hassles.

I did notice that for the show 24 it is only finding the Sunday premiere episodes but it is my understanding that it is running monday evening as well this week. Any way to force it to download Monday's episodes or will I have to do it manually this time?

I haven't tested out notifications for XBMC yet, I didn't have time last night but wasn't clear what exactly the notification accomplishes. Does it just simply pop up a notification on the screen when there is a new episode or does it tell XBMC to "update the library" for said new episode? If it is the latter does Sick Beard support notifying multiple frontends? I have 3.

Thanks for the awesome program.

Definitely what he said.

I'm wondering about this too. I asked about it a few posts back and was told that it only finds the next episode and then stops. If I understand how it works correctly, I think after Sunday it will then show Mondays episodes because then Monday will be the "next episode". It would be nice to have support for these double episode weeks, same with American Idol and Biggest Loser.

Re: 24: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=483...tcount=124

XBMC notifications simply send a popup to XBMC saying the download was started or finished but there's also an option for library update. It only supports a single XBMC instance right now but there is a ticket on the google code page for support for multiple hosts.

And I'm glad you like the name... surprisingly I haven't got many comments on it, hehe.

EDIT: What mtehonica said is correct - it's just a display problem.

Yeah I didn't notice any comments regarding the name. I loved it when I first saw it. lol.

Thanks for the quick responses, I will look into the library update function, I didn't notice it but I haven't taken too much time with the program yet.

I just thought of another question maybe not directly related to Sick Beard but maybe someone can answer me.

What is the proper folder/naming structure for "Specials". An example I have is Robot Chicken, which has lots of "special" episodes which aren't part of the regular season. I currently have them in a Folder called "Specials" but Sick Beard didn't seem to find them. So my structure in this example would be /foo/bar/Robot.Chicken/Specials/, not sure if that is correct though, also not sure on the actual naming of the files themselves. I ma have a couple other shows that have specials but this one stands out as there are quite a few.

Thanks again MidgetSpy for the excellent program.

Kevin

Specials are season 0 on TVDB so just look up the episode number in Sick Beard (or on TVDB) and then name it like you would any other episode (Robot Chicken - 0x03 - whatever.avi) and put them with the rest of the episodes.

Ok I will check that, should it go in a Season 0 folder then? I use Season folders. "Season 1" "Season 2" etc.

One last thing, for NZBMatrix what goes in the UID field? I managed to get my API key but was unsure what to put in UID and NZBMatrix was iffy last night with connections, not sure if it was me or them.

Thanks again,

Kevin

My account on tvbinz got suspended for using sickbeard...they say it shouldn't be using search so excessively..etc
