The scene rules just changed... mkv is now the designed container to be used for everything, including SD-Content (PRE'd a while ago). See for reference:

Sorry, I was actually mistaken; for some reason the scene is using .mp4 instead of .mkv for x264 SD content...

So what I meant was how to make it prefer .mp4 to xvid?

For me SB downloads .mp4 when available.

no. mkv is the container for hd. mp4 is the container for sd. x264 codec is used for both.

you dont really.. because to sb sd is sd. pre 2012 sd was only released (scene) as .avi. right now all sd should be released as the newer x264 mp4 format. however there are two groups that are just refusing to conform.. this will be dealt with in the scene shortly if they keep it up.. for sb sake you can just ignore 2HD and FQM.. however this would have ill effects for pre 2012 releases. and then also they have released some shows that just havent been released in the newer SD.x264 format.. so theres not really a clean way.. but honestly this 'issue' will just go away shortly...

Jup - I just threw some stuff around The container still differs, the codecs don't.

I'm still having trouble with episodes being snatched but not downloaded. Last night of the four shows that aired two snatched and downloaded properly and two just snatched. No errors in the log either.

Is anyone else experiencing this? It started after I updated to 493.

sounds like you dont have the sab to sb link (if your using sab). you need to go set your sab tv category script to sabToSickbeard. otherwise sb is just going to sit there forever waiting for a sab to tell sb it's downloaded something

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.

Did you check you SAB logs? sickbeard doesn't download the episodes, only gets the files and send them to SAB, if the file is incomplete on the news server it will stay as snatched.

this happens to me once in a while, check SAB history for the file that was snatched and not downloaded
