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

1. American Dad since the scene is using season-1 let SB search for it so search for season 7 instead of 8 but still rename it with 8

Only way around this for me was to install NzbDrone and add American dad, it snatches the correct episodes fine

Yea I just used nzb matrix and then renamed them to season+1.

Currently having an issue, I have the below folder structure for my downloads

Temp downloads - <show folder>

within sick beard I have set up the location of each show to its own sub folder in temp downloads but when sabnzbd has finished downloading it just moves the files to temp downloads instead of each shows own folder

What am I missing to get this to work correctly

Thanks

This is set up fine. Most downloads work fine. For instance, four shows in my list aired last night. Three of them snatched and downloaded automatically as they should. One show snatched but didn't download. I had to grab that one manually.

On Tuesday four shows also aired. Two of them snatched and downloaded, two only snatched.

This didn't start until I installed 493.

I'm having the same issue with 2 different installs of Sickbeard. Somehow the sending of the .nzb fails and it gets added to the history with the error url failed. The error logs say it's an empty .nzb file. Clicking retry works, it adds to the queue straight away.

This has only started happening.

tonight i spent some time to research the whole empty nzb. it happens due to nzbmatrix's server being slammed.. basically times out.. if you use sabnzbd 0.7.x, we added a feature to retry failed nzb (2min interval) before just giving up on it (user defines how many times you want to try.. default is 2).

I'm happy to report that this solves the 0byte nzb issue with nzbmatrix, see my test results:

currently 0.7.x is only out to release testers.. but if you ask nicely I can provide you with a compiled binary to test with. do note that we are still working out the bugs but so far things are pretty stable and working great.

Just recently started using Sick Beard, love it, but if I'm watching something in XBMC while it is post processing it'll cause the video I'm watching to go into Buffering, sometimes failing and returning to the menu. Anyone else have this issue?

Nothing to fix there, post processing is very cpu and hard drive intensive and can use all the resources of the pc.

What? CPU intensive? Why would that be?
Hard Drive intensive totally depends on where you store your media-files and especially how big the downloaded file is.
Never had any problems with harddrive intensity either.
Did the postprocessing maybe replace the exact file you were watching at that moment (that shouldn't be possible under Windows, under Linux this would be another story though)?

Otherwise - take a look at your resource-usage while the postprocessing is running.

Assuming you're also using Sabnzbd, check the Switches section of Config for the IONice option. Googling around will find you the switches you can try.

Unraring and par fixing is fairly cpu intensive. Unraring is also multithreaded and will benefit with more cpu cores.

Having this problem from time to time, would love to try the 0,7 release. Been thinking about it myself and have come to the same conclusion about the site being overloaded with requests. The above fix was my thought exactly im on windows, thanks
