I have Windows 7 and to have sickbeard always on I need to have sickbeard console always open/minimized.... But I hate having it clutter my toolbar!

Righclick on sickbeard.py choose open with pytonw. The you font have to have a consoll up

I don't have any sickbeard.py

Does this install Sickbeard on the computer or will it need to have already been installed?

No, it does not install Sickbeard. This is just a front end application for an already existing Sickbeard installation. In the plugin settings you add the IP and port that your Sickbeard server is running on.

Is there any info on how to install sickbeard on XBMCBuntu and have it auto start when HTPC turns on. I do still want it to boot directly into XBMC though, but would like sickbeard to start on start up...?

thanks for your help Maniaczm!

I am unfamiliar with XBMCUbuntu specifically but my main server runs Ubuntu. Not sure if there is something that makes this OS more difficult to set these supplemental apps but I found this guide for installing Sickbeard, CouchPotato and SabNZB+ on Linux Mint (A bit different but essentially the same) here: http://www.ainer.org/sick-beard-install-...linux-mint.

Awesome addon, thank you so much.

One thing i would really love to see is airdate in the manage shows/downloaded list.
Even better would be the episode description in the info and any other info sickbeard exposes about an episode.

Thank you so much!

Thanks! I am currently working on a fairly large update to this plugin that will link more info to the shows. I am trying to link the shows to the XBMC library so you can see the hi-res posters/banners, episode screens, and fanart while browsing through the app. Also attempting to make it so you can play files marked as downloaded directly from the plugin. Part of this is making it feel more like a media browser, which will allow me to display the info you are speaking about to the user as well. Basically all the info you see while browsing the TV section of XBMC should end up displaying in the Sickbeard plugin.

It's coming along but there are a few snags here and there I am hitting. Trying to make it so the plugin works just as well with these new features as it does without, just in case people don't have these things set up in XBMC. I have no planned release date quite yet but I am thinking of doing these updates in chunks. I'll update this thread when they start to roll out!

Hey thanks for the response.
I would give precedence to info provided from sickbeard and then supplement from xbmc, just my thought.

My plugin gives me an error on addshow.py after searching for "the voice". Any ideas off the top?
thanks!
EDIT: actually, it is any search under add shows.

Thanks for this addon, love it! Ever thought about doing one for CouchPotato too?
