Anyone else getting IMDbDataAccessError when trying to add something to CouchPotato (v1, Win r36)?

Edit: Nevermind, I guess that movie does not exist in the IMDB...

So I forgot I had changed credit card numbers recently and my unlimited plan didn't renew. I just chewed through my 10GB backup block. Is there a way I can limit how much of a backup plan to use? Like if the backup is going to use 1GB for a download, instead just have the download pause.

Is it feasible to run SABnzbd from source and just run `git pull` to grab new commits every now and then?

Totally, just pull from develop and party on. It's a bit of a bitch running from source on Windows, and on Win/OSX you lose the tray integration, but for Linux running from source is no big deal.

We've always had Growl-Growl support. 0.7 brings more generic Growl-ish support. I don't use it, so I can't comment on exactly how in-depth it is, but if you can point out what we're supposed to be implementing, enter an issue on GitHub or post about it on the forums.

What is it about Usenet that leads to files getting so corrupted while they're propagating around the servers? Like, in total I've gotten maybe a half dozen corrupted files over HTTP/FTP ever, if that, but I'd say at least a third of Usenet files need repair.

It sounds like they are saying they use 810p because it is higher quality than 720p in the same file size? It also sounds like they use filters to improve the quality?

It sounds like they might be trying to touch the (apparent) fact that anamorphic resolutions use less bandwidth for the same quality of video than non-anamorphic resolutions. I seem to recall reading this when reading about some guy who was trying to push 720p through 500kbps of video data.

Here is a presentation by the guy who did the above which gives a bunch of 'best practice' tips for h.264 encoding and the 8th last slide of the presentation touches on using anamorphic resolutions to save bandwidth for a given quality.

Essentially, padding the top and bottom rather than having a non-anamorphic resolution yields better quality results for a given bandwidth or, equivalently, less bandwidth for a given quality level. In practice, that means that 1280x720 video stretched to 1440 yields an 810 vertical resolution. Hence encoding it at 810 vertical pixels per frame (an anamorphic ratio to 1440) even if the actual video is 600 vertical pixels high.

I could completely be wrong because of the dodgy translation but that's what they seem to be trying to touch on to me.

I've just noticed my Sickbeard seems to have trouble adding the sort of TV shows that you might want to watch every day. I'm guessing this is down to the massive list of episodes it needs to add to the database. Is this a known issue?

What sort of problems are you experiencing? It takes a lot of time to do the initial load of a show like that, but from there on out it all behaves normally. Just let it do it's thing and it'll load eventually, then you never have to go through that again.

Is Growl in there on the Windows version? I never knew that. I'll have to go through it and take a look this evening.

I'd love to have the ability to send a Boxcar notification if a download fails, or completes, on certain categories.

I have one of those on my SB list, it takes hours to add since this one has hundreds of episodes. Eventually it should be good, if you ever do a full refresh you just gotta sit tight. I have to set the one I watch with a custom quality, since the only copies that get regularly get uploaded are 720p rips, but divx encodes.

Previously we only had Growl for OSX, now we have Growl for Windows, plus Notify OSD support for Ubuntu. I expect shortly after Mountain Lion drops (or shortly before) we'll figure out OSX Notification Center support as well.

I haven't done this, but...

It makes me think maybe .py files aren't associated with pythonw.exe. Can you doubleclick a .py file in Explorer and have it run automatically?

You could also try making a bat file with contents along these lines:

code:
pythonw.exe post_processing_script.py %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
Save that bat file and then use it as your post-processing script.

EVERYONE EXCEPT THE HOT WOMEN

I finally got things running smoothly with the following combo

1. A Linux Debian Squeeze server in a data center somewhere running sabnzbdplus and transmission-daemon
2. My home desktop (win7) running a special fork of sickbeard with better anime support (http://sickbeard.lad1337.de/) and a monthly build of XMBC 12.0 (needed the 10-bit H264 support for anime unfortunately)

I preferred to use sickbeard's post processor again because of anime (it allows me to name by season and absolute number, because sometimes episode numbering is ambiguous), so I just setup an NFS share and have it mounted in windows as a drive, and setup Sickbeard's post-processor to point to that share. I need to figure out if there is any significant overhead added as the download on my connection is only 25mbps.

Also, sabnzbd has post-processing, but it is called sorting in the options

To be honest unless the devs are colossally stupid, there's no way to gently caress up post processing, as long as it passes the parameters in the right order it's fine.

I've been using it since pre-beta and it's been solid. SAB really hasn't had a "bad" release I can recall in the entire "sabnzbdplus" era, the guys working on it are doing an excellent job.

The worst update I can think of was a few major versions ago (0.4.0 or 0.5.0 IIRC) when there were enough changes that the queues weren't able to be transferred over. Really not a big deal unless you're the type to queue up a few days worth of downloading and then let it run, and even then it just meant wait to upgrade until it's done.

We've been dog-fooding 0.7 for basically the past year. Plus we've now got zoggy on the team, who also does work for Sickbeard. Plus Shypike is sort of insane about backwards compatibility. It's fine.

The only thing we've ever really broken between builds in the past was when we migrated between queue/history storage formats, but we haven't screwed with those for 0.7.
