i get a similar error to the one above...

Code:

2011-03-08 16:56:45.403693 CP Server Thread-10 :: Error loading Bin-Req URL: (, URLError(error(110, 'Connection timed out'),), ) -

Code:

Update Failed

Update wasn't successful, not restarting. Check your log for more information.

No idea what's happening.

Great little app sickbeard is,

Im really hoping to get full automation for my xbmc experience, at the moment i use media companion and scrape my tv shows.

I find that the .nfo that sickbeard has is somewhat basic missing out on what media companion gets. ie.

<streamdetails>
</streamdetails>
<runtime>
</runtime>

Is it possible for sickbeard to obtain these details.

Thanks

i dont believe this information is on thetvdb / tvrage (where sickbeard grabs info to make it's nfo)

Yeah i think its a case of sickbeard just scraping from thetvdb, and media companion analyzing the file somewhat and then dumping the details.

Sad

Also you could try to modify sabnzbd: In Sab you have the possibility to change the file-permissions on download (I am actually unsure wether this option is present on windows...well...it is on linux, sorry cannot test another machine). Set them to 777 and see if that works for you.

ive looked over all the options in the config but see nothing

When trying to Set the initial status of missing episodes, I set it to wanted, but, it always shows skipped. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks.

Yeah, I suspected that...

Mhm...maybe you could work another way round:
Try creating a batch-file which will set the permissions for the files, after sickbeard moves them.

See here for reference:

With Windows > XP you can just run "cacls" from the command-line, as XCACLS is integrated in windows now. Just replace "xcacls.exe" in the mentioned support-thread with "cacls", you do not need to download the file mentioned in the post.

My suggestion would be the following: You create a simple script that runs first the sickbeard-postprocessor and changes the file permissions afterwards via the Windows API (so you don't have to use cacls). Problem with this is: You need some logic in order to determine where sickbeard puts the file (you could just use the output of the pp-script).
I could try and write a litte application for that, but currently my raid is broken (one HDD went away) and well...windows does not seem to like that (sometimes you just have to hate it... linux has no problems whatsoever with it...) and I have to wait until I can rebuild my raid in order to get access to my c#-tools.

i updated sickbeard to latest and now when it gets episodes i think it changes the permission because i cant see the files on my share anymore only when i ssh into my unraid server. Any idea how to fix this? i found out how to check the chmod thing

new tv shows after update have -rwxr-xr-x my old shows all have -rw-rw-rw- how do i change it back?

i think new sickbeard gets its permissions from the folder the tv shows are transferd from i change the permissions of this folder and now the files show up fine.

writing a script is currently above my level of expertise. guess ill continue doing it manually with
icacls "c:\media directory\*.*" /t /grant Everyone:R
until i can find a way to automate it or the sickbeard devs can figure out what is happening
