I usually use the Matrix anyway, so I guess I'll have to configure some searches. BTW, with all this ISP piracy talk, it's worth noting that Matrix and nzbs.org support https, it just isn't the default. Probably a good idea to make sure your nzbs and newgroup servers are all SSL if they aren't already.

I use blocknews as my primary however I'm finding that I'm getting a lot of missing blocks with old content. Are there any other block providers I could use as a backup?

Most people I know who use Blocknews as their primary use Astraweb as a backup.

crm posted:A couple issues with this - Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been keeping up with this thread too much. Anyway, I had the script delete the input file by default because the file sizes are usually pretty similar and (beyond the audio codec and container format) they should be practically the same. Either way, you can easily tell the script to not delete anything: open up makemp4 in a text editor and scroll all the way to the bottom; put a "#" (no quotes) before the line that says rm "${infile}" &>/dev/null (10th line up from the bottom/line 340). Other than deleting it at the very end of processing the script does not make any changes to the input. I'm not sure what you mean by the second thing, could you be more specific? It shouldn't be adding or trying to add an AC3 file to the MP4.

Good lord, the moderators at thetvdb.org are retarded. Go to their forums and do a search for Korra to see how they are ignoring their user's on how to handle the new Last Airbender show. Is there any chance Sickbeard will ever get an option to get it's nfo and art files from another site?

Apologies, I'm not sure if I should post this here, in the HTPC thread, or the XBMC thread. Since my problem mostly concerns SABnzbd and Sick Beard, I'll post it here. I want to create an HTPC setup featuring Sick Beard. I would use a netbook with an attached external hard drive as the HTPC, as documented on Life Hacker. The computer will boot directly into XBMC. Ideally I would like to install SAB+Sick Beard to the XBMC OS, and have them run when I start up the computer. Is this possible, or can Sick Beard only run on a more traditional OS? Also, would Sick Beard be able to download directly to the external drive? Shane-O-Mac fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Apr 4, 2012 |

XBMC live doesn't exist anymore, it's been replaced by XBMCbuntu. XBMC Live was still a "real" OS so it wouldn't have mattered anyway, but that lifehacker guide is two and a half years old, so I'd try and find something a bit better.

The live version is just a stripped down ubuntu with xbmc instead of gnome. If you install it to the harddrive You can setup SABnzbd/sickbeard/couchpotato/etc via the command line. In fact, here is a howto! http://boshdirect.com/blogs/tech/how-to-install-sabnzbd-on-xbmc-live.html It is from last year, but it should be a fairly similar concept.

If you won't be using the netbook for anything else, then I would suggest OpenELEC. It has a SAB/Sickbeard addon that would make everything dead simple. http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Openelec_sabnzbd_addon

Yeah, it boggles the mind. I was pretty OK with TVDB because I understood they were trying to be consistent at all costs, but when they started splitting up cartoons where two stories are in one episode into separate episodes because "that's how they might get released on DVDs, this is how the creator intended it, yet won't rearrange Firefly to the intended order (WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A SOURCE) rather than aired order, I don't even know

I don't hate nzbmatrix but they are very unreliable at times. Anyone know what kind of bandwidth requirements there are for a moderately fed newznab setup?

http://kere.ws/ is another Newznab site if anyone is needing additional API hits. The site is all in german, but it's still pretty easy to navigate.

Any reason my SABnzbd would be downloading from the European Astraweb as opposed to the US one? My server is set to news.astraweb.com but my servers are all being used by eu.astraweb.com and I'm getting a third of the usual speeds between all 20 connections.

I've also experienced slow performance from Astraweb at times, lately. Certain times it will just crawl in the few hundred KB/s range.

I'm new to this whole thing but I haven't been able to figure this out: sick beard passes the download to SAB but the downloads don't start unless I switch them for "Force" at which point they download normally. Is there any way to make it so the downloads actually start when they are added to the queue, like if I do it manually? e: vv Wow I am a loving moron. I suspect it paused it because it was initially using my SSD as temporary storage and it got full. Thank you Shmoogy fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Apr 6, 2012 |

If they're not running unless you hit "Force", you've paused SAB. Unpause it.

How exactly does Sickbeard work with multi episodes? Sickbeard can snatch the episode fine but it does not properly name the episode like "Show Name - S01E02-03 - Ep Name" it still names it "Show Name - S01E02 - Ep Name" so it always appears as if I am missing episode 3. Googling didnt give much and I doubt I have to manual edit the files to make it correct, there must be something I'm missing or doing wrong.

If the file you download is labelled as s01e02, then that's what Sickbeard will name it. If the file you download is s01e02-e03 then Sickbeard will name it properly.

FISHMANPET posted:Are those huge bursts when somebody's pull request gets merged? It can be a pull request or if the developer adds a lot of files between one commit and the next. I think the biggest bursts of activity you'll see is when some third-party library gets added to the project which brings along all it's associated files. edit: Oh, I used gource, ffmpeg, and Audacity.

I've got a strange issue with running Sickbeard from source. It works with no issues, but I wanted it to run on startup. So I created a batch file withcode:
Doing that works as well, but I get an error across the top of Sickbeard saying that it is an unknown version and to delete the .git folder or config the .ini file to point at the Git install. I've already edited the .ini file and I don't get that error when running the regular python app, just the pythonw app. Any ideas?

If NZBs.org does close down I just hope I catch wind of where everyone else goes. Someone will have to fill the void. There is plenty of opportunity for someone to use the source code behind NZBs.org and recreate the site exactly.

Ingram posted:There is plenty of opportunity for someone to use the source code behind NZBs.org and recreate the site exactly. Anyway, with NZBs.org closing up shop on the 19th, there are already new sites popping up. DOGnzb, for instance, opened to the public just last week. It's a custom frontend (written in ColdFusion, of all things) sitting on top of Newznab. DOGnzb is limited to 30 days, uncapped with a $10 one-time fee. Despite being ColdFusion (seriously, ColdFusion), it's a really slick interface, and the lone dev behind it is pretty open to suggestions and tweaks. Based on a very short chat we had with him in #sabnzbd the day he opened things up, he switched the core domain from .com -> .cr (to hopefully thwart or at least slow down any domain seizures), and immediately started working on exposing the Newznab API so the site works with Sickbeard transparently. He's also going to be adding SSL based on user suggestion. So that's one alternative. With how easy it apparently is to set up a Newznab site I really wouldn't be surprised if we see more crop up to fill the void. It's more than a proven system at this point, and it's behind stuff you wouldn't really think of, like the SickBeard index that's only exposed via API.
