[RELEASE] Sickbeard XBMC - Control Sickbeard from XBMC

OhMYGawd! I love XBMC!

I can't wait to get fully migrated over! Why did I wait so long to come back!

I had xbmc back when it was mainly just for xbox's and I have used MediaBrowser for WMC for over 2 years now and wanted something simpler and yet had more to offer...

I just updated Sickbeard XBMC to version 1.0.1 which now includes an option to add a username and password in the settings (Thanks again Popeye!). I ran some quick tests and it seems to be working with or without a password protected Sickbeard installation. Let me know if there are any issues that are caused by this change. Thanks!

First of all thanks for this great plugin, now the not so nice part, I ran into a script error. When I want to manage my shows it errors out with some unicode failure. (I can browse History/Upcoming though)

Log: http://pastebin.com/NnCWPGuj

Another thing, I guess you're not using the sickbeard API for calls, at least it didn't ask for my API key, wouldn't it be easier and more future proof to use that?

omg i love you .. you already made a webapp that i can't live w/o and now this cant wait to give this a try this weekend.

it says that i need to check user name and password and i dont have one

That is an interesting error you are seeing (thanks for the log btw). Do you have any shows that are named... differently? Not sure how to ask that, but my guess is the error is coming from the URL parser on one of your show names. Can I trouble you to send me a list of the shows you have added to Sickbeard?

And yes I am using the API, I just "detect" it so users don't have to manually enter it. It's not so bad to enter it manually if you have a keyboard hooked up to XBMC but the people with just remotes (like on my ATV2) it is painful enough to enter an IP .

Can you make sure you have your IP/Port set up correctly and that you have the API enabled? It's under the General section of Sickbeard's settings. Just enable the API and generate an API key. I forgot to add that note to the installation instructions.

That error message is too generic right now, I just implemented password protection and that error will pop up if the connection to Sickbeard fails for any reason. This weekend when I have more time I will add better error handling so failures are clearer about what is actually wrong.

Thanks for the praise but I didn't develop Sickbeard, just a fan of it as well and wanted to contribute to it's awesomeness!

Ah, that makes sense at the API, thanks for the clarification.

Regarding the show names, it's probably my girlfriends German series using umlauts. (Ä Ö Ü) Can't think of anything else that would be named different then any of the usual shows.

Example:


Is that enough or you want some more?

No I think that should be enough but thanks ursli, that's probably the culprit. I will try adding that to my Sickbeard and see if it causes the same error. I think I have a solution in mind but I'll have to mess around with that show name to see if I can resolve it. If nothing else I can work around that error as a quick fix so the rest of your shows will be displayed .
