Oh god I'm hitting the TVDB v. Rest of the World naming convention problem with Robot Chicken of all shows. I'm -this- close to writing a general autoProcessTV.py + post-processing patch for Sickbeard that'll let you choose the episode naming religion (TVDB or Scene might be appropriate labels?) in renamed files and associated metadata.

I've half-started on the same idea quite a few times, warning that it's a lot harder to do right than it sounds. If you or anyone else actually gets something going, I'll help whenever and however I can.
What sort of issues have you hit so far? From what I've gathered we need to understand the distinction between special episodes, the definition of a show name in the first place, and standard episode numbers in a season (or date-based episode numbering) of a TV show - this would be across sources like DVD rips v. TV broadcast v. Blu-Ray. Then there's the oddball non-scene sanctioned releases that are common among torrent trackers, but those are so unstructured I'd go nuts. I was going to use Wikipedia as an episode name source to output against for starters. I can think of a few more cases of mismatches from what's downloaded and what's in official sources, but that'd be a bit elaborate to describe in a short post. This doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem to me and could be done "brute-force" by including the meta-metadata (schema I suppose) information on a per-show basis rather than to approach it as a general problem.

Scraping TVDB is not the aim in my efforts exactly though - I'm just thinking of adding another episode naming source that you can turn on per show. TVDB is great for the majority of shows... then it starts butting heads.

Sorry, guy.
So I've been poking around (as best as I can) and when I try to run SickBeard as a Daemon in Terminal, I get an ImportError about not being able to find Cheetah.Template .


Does anyone have any idea what I might do to fix this? This all started last night post Mountain Lion GM.

You need the python-cheetah module for M. Lion. Make sure it's compatible. If the stable release isn't, the development version from git might. https://github.com/cheetahtemplate/cheetah

Thanks! I'll try that. I admit though, I have no idea how the Github stuff works. Is there just a download button somewhere for me to click on to get the right Cheetah thing?

Sorry, guy.
Actually, while I wouldn't midn checking out the new Cheetah stuff you linked to, reinstalling Cheetah last night had it working again (except my startup scripts won't work... I get that Shell Command error.) But I could start it up as a Daemon no problem.

However, this morning, (after my computer slept on it's own from last night) when I went to my browser window for SickBeard it wouldn't load. I tried running SB as a daemon again and I got this:

randon-Griffins-iMac:sickbeard BSTAR$ python sickbeard.py -d

I can confirm installing Mountain Lion borks Cheetah (and thus SickBeard).

1) Just download the file here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cheetah/2.4.4

2) Extract it
3) cd to that directory and then run
4) sudo python setup.py install

As an Australian, a useful feature for sickbeard would be a customisable time-zone, so you can see when stuff is actually going to be available.

I mean, I can do the math in my head, but I dont really want to.

You don't really need one if you look at the Coming Episodes tab - The pink missed episodes that aired yesterday are the ones that'll be grabbed today at about noonish, everything else airs the next day or later.

Ten million years of absolute power. That's what it takes to be really corrupt.
Perhaps someone can help me understand how something like Supernews, nzb.su, and your reader all interface?

Say I get an account at Supernews and then use nzb.su as my indexer, how do these two interface? I don't see any options on nzb that lets you say "Hey I have an account at Supernews!", so my question would be how are the two linked together, because it appears you can just download any nzb file with no mention of Supernews, so why pay them the $10 bucks?

I am sure there is something I am missing, but I didn't see it mentioned in the OP, and after reading the first 15 pages or so I didn't see it discussed. I know it all works together somehow, but I like to know how.

Supernews: usenet provider
nzb.su: usenet scraper
sabnzbd: program that downloads stuff

You go to your usenet scraper site, click on the SABNZBD button, it sends it to the program and downloads from your usenet provider. Without a usenet provider your .NZB file is useless.

So then basically nzb indexes all usenet providers, and when sabnzbd downloads something it grabs the appropriate file from whoever your provider of choice is?

NZB scraper sites index most (not all I am pretty sure) usenet groups. This is so you don't have to download every header of every group. And yes, SAB downloads from your usenet provider using the .NZB file. You can also set up scraper sites like nzb.su or nzb.org to send the NZB directly to your client without downloading anything to your local computer.

Does anyone know how and where to find the Derek Smart flame war that has been ongoing over Usenet since 1996? I want to see how bad this 16 year long argument is. Given that I've used the NZB format and associated indexing sites my entire time with Usenet I have no clue on how to properly crawl and parse the headers the old fashioned way.

This site seems to have an archive of sorts: http://flamewarfollies.com/

I didn't have much luck searching with Google Groups, but I also didn't try hard. For future reference though Google Groups is basically the search engine and archive for usenet text. They bought DejaNews a while back and merged Usenet archiving in with their discussion system.

If you're looking for recent posts, you can also use a newsreader application. Most full-featured mail clients (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.) still have one or there are dedicated newsreaders like Pan or Free Agent (I have no idea if Free Agent is still relevant, it's been years). Text retention on even ISP servers is often absolutely enormous because years of text posts don't add up to the amount of data in a day's binaries. A full Usenet feed is around 10TB a day, but actual text traffic is somewhere around 500MB/day.

you need to make the address in sickbeard be 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost. And if you want it accessible from outside your local network, you have to forward the port on your router.

I believe that means it has been completely removed from the server. Is it downloading faster than your connection speed?

I downloaded a 35GB archive with about 15 big files all in their own RARs. It downloaded successfully, yet when I unpack it, all 15 display CRC errors.

EDIT: Okay, a bunch of other files I downloaded around the same time are also displaying CRC errors. I have no idea what is happening.

Try searching for the individual files on binsearch or another raw search engine, they may have their own PAR sets. If you can't find them, and you still have the big archive, and you have enough free space on a different hard drive, try extracting it there. I had the same problem once, and it turned out my drive had bad sectors.

I just installed SABnzbd on Debian and set it up. Whenever I restart the computer and go to SABnzbd again, it brings me back to the wizard and all of my settings are erased. I'm running SABnzbd using startup and shutdown scripts, which you can see here (startup.sh) and here (shutdown.sh). What gives?

Well I didn't really solve the problem, but I got around it. I ditched the startup and shutdown scripts altogether. I reinstalled SABnzbd, and now I run it with "python SABnzbd.py -b0 -s 0.0.0:8080". I shutdown the programs using their built-in shutdown buttons. It takes a lot longer, but I shouldn't have to do it often.

You shouldn't do that. There's no reason to believe SAB has any major security issues, but there's also no reason to tempt fate by running it with root privs.
