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

Oakey · 2012-04-13 23:53

Guys, I've noticed some TV shows are now being released as x264 (half the file size, twice the quality), however, on NZBMatrix these are in the TV: SD category. Can Sickbeard be configured to snatch only these nzb's as at the moment it's hit and miss as to which release they pick.

just use SD as type to look for. SB has been updated to find those when you choose SD. Dont forget that old content will still be Xvid...its only new stuff that have the new format

Looked through my history out of curiosity this afternoon, and realized that SB has not downloaded anything from Nzbmatrix, all the recent snatches have been from the sickbeard index. So I went digging through my logs, and this has been showing up

Code:

Apr-15 16:43:30 WARNING  SEARCHQUEUE-BACKLOG-71256 :: Unknown exception while loading URL https://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?username=xxxx&ssl=1&term=%2B%28%22The+Daily+Show+2012+04%22%2C%22The+Daily+Show+with+Jon+Stewart​+2012+04%22%29&apikey=xxxx&subcat=6%2C41&scenename=1&english=1&maxage=1400&page=download: Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise IncompleteRead(''.join(value))

IncompleteRead: IncompleteRead(409 bytes read)

Various errors such as this are in the log each time SB attempts to read the rss feed from Nzbmatrix.

Im running this on a Fedora system, updated to the latest git master

I have but there are still two versions of every release, the x264 one and the older type, which SB picks is hit and miss. I'd prefer x264 if possible

Well since updating to the latest version i have always caught x264. Most shows aired after 2012 are in new format and if its before 2012 you will most likely get xvid quality for SD setting. You could also set quality to unknown (seems that works as well to pick x264.mp4 format)

what if the quality is set to HD? Will it still get x264 format files?

Yes, but with a resolution of 720p (and mkv is the container instead of mp4) Wink

Oakey · 2012-04-19 21:19

And the file size is about 600Mb

Hi guys, can anyone help me please?

At some point recently my Sickbeard has stopped moving the downloaded episodes to their final destination, is there a way of troubleshooting this please?

Keep Original Files, Rename Episodes and Scan and Process are all checked in the "post processing" menus.

Same for me here, Sickbeard stopped moving completed downloads since last week.

After poking in the logs, it seems that it might be caused by some funky unicode characters...
Here are the logs:

Looks like the "ó" character in "Episode 01 - Orientación.mkv" is the culprit (unicode: U+00F3).
I'm running Sickbeard on a Ubuntu Server 11.10 VM, latest commit.

Supposedly the issue was already fixed in Dec 2010 (issue 942) ... my guess is a recent change brought it back somehow.

Hope it helps!
