[RELEASE] Sickbeard XBMC - Control Sickbeard from XBMC

I'm dying to make this work, but I'm having a problem. My Sickbeard is setup as localhost:8181 and not with an IP. I cannot figure out any way to configure this plugin to work.

Can anyone give me an idea of how I can fix this? I've actually tried connecting to Sickbeard by IP but it doesn't work at all on my network. I'm not entirely sure why, but since localhost works great I figured I wouldn't mess with it.

Thanks,

Paul

paulrus: if Sickbeard is on the same machine as XBMC, try using 127.0.0.1?

I tried. I cannot use a numerical address. It absolutely has to be localhost.

Isn't there any way to alter the plugin to accept localhost?

On my machines at home and at work, 127.0.0.1 and localhost is synonymous. My Sickbeard also uses "localhost" address, but I have no issue using 127.0.0.1 since it means the same thing as localhost (at least on my machine).

do a 'ping localhost' and see what IP address you get. That in theory is the numerical ip address you should be able to use. Are you getting 127.0.0.1 as well?

Stupid question - you're also setting port number correctly as well? (8181)? I would have put 127.0.0.1 in IP field, and 8181 in the port field. And does your Sickbeard require login?

Ive pretty much read the entire thread already before posting.

Pinging localhost gives me a reply from ::1: which is just weird.

Pinging 127.0.0.1 works, but I cannot log in to 127.0.0.1:8181

If I try 127.0.0.1 it gives me mt XBMC login on port 80, but sickbeard only works with localhost:8181.

I've tried using the IP and port fields, I've tried using localhost and the ports, I've even tried the IP assigned by my router 192.168.1.7 and 8181. I've tried them all with and without http:// as well as trying all of those permutations under custom URL. None of it worked.

I've also tried it with and without user/password.

I'm stumped.

Edit: disregard, it's working after a restart of xbmc.

I just tried to set this up and it's hanging on:


Any thoughts?

First of all thanks for making such a kick ass plugin. I only have one problem. I cant seem to find the add show tab in the in the plugin. Where can I find it?

Anybody got this to work i am stuck as well on the ip setting. No clue what to punch in there

EDIT: it is working now I had to uncheck "use costum sickbeard URL" and add 127.0.0.1 as IP and 8081 as port....restart XBMC and that's it.

Ok one thing I don't understand... how to add shows? I read you go on manage shows and press the context( right click) but the pop up does not have the selection "add shows" I am running Eden and sickbeard 1.0.8.

Any idea how to add shows ??


EDIT: Also figured it out now trial and error.... You have to go to manage shows and right click on one existing movie file this will open the pop up with the add new show etc... Controls
