Does anyone know of a way to have SABnzbd unpack downloads before moving them to the destination directory? I've been having issues with Plex not matching stuff and after monitoring the log while something was downloaded I noticed that it creates a folder in the destination where it unpacks to then it moves things to the appropriate location (renaming/cleanup).

Was wondering the same... https://sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11398 don't know if this helps

I'll probably have to do this and write a script to trigger a scan in plex.

🥷🐢😬

Think this is the best thread to put this as I'm sure there's been others in a similar situation.

My server is a C2D box a bit low on RAM but trundles along OK running NzbGet/NzbDrone/CouchPotato/Plex and I have a client running on it too, and it gets used for web browsing in the lounge. There's a 4 bay drive hanging off it via USB2 (ugh) and the system drive is 1TB internal.

Currently the system drive is where things get downloaded, unpacked and moved either to one of the external drives or into a Media folder living on that drive (if it's not been categorised by anything).

I picked up a 250GB Samsung EVO 840 SSD on Amazon UK's lightning deal for �70 as it's a nice chunk less than the �90 I've seen it for at cheapest elsewhere.

Was thinking of moving the system and applications to this drive, which shouldn't take up more than maybe 40gb at most, then using it mainly as the place to unpack/fix files before moving to the externals, or the Media folder which will now be all that's on the existing 1TB drive.

A decent use of the SSD? Should I see a decent enough performance or is it unlikely to make much of a difference to my life? I've told a friend I'd pass on the SSD to him at cost if I can't justify it's use, and don't really want to install everything and find it's not really worth it (I'd prefer to pass it on to him in a sealed, as new state).

Keito: Jul 21, 2005; WHAT DO I CHOOSE ?

Unpacks should be much faster, but 250GB might be overkill if that and being home to some daemons is all it'll be used for. I imagine the latter stay mostly (or completely) in RAM once they've launched, and web browsing is also mainly a RAM thing, although all the programs will launch a bit faster.

🥷🐢😬

Yeah, the size is kind of a 'well I'm paying the same for a 250 as I would for a 120 so I might's well' and the usual thing of knowing things are bound to change down the line and more storage than anticipated is needed. At the moment I pause downloads while unpacking so hoping that won't be needed so much, as I didn't really want the old spinning disk to be thrashed quite so hard (especially when backfilling).

# ? Nov 27, 2014 12:45

The Gunslinger: Jul 24, 2004; Do not forget the face of your father.; Fun Shoe

I would get the 250. I went with a 120 in my fileserver, between the OS and cleanup failures I've had a few things sit there for awhile unnoticed until I remote into the box and see the OS drive sitting at 3GB free. I will probably move to a 250GB OS drive when I see a decent black friday deal.

TraderStav: May 19, 2006; It feels like I was standing my entire life and I just sat down

I'm retiring my old NAS and decided to just use an external drive on my iMac while having SAB/Sickbeard run on it. I thought this would be easy but it seems that there aren't any binaries available for Sickbeard and the command-line installations are giving me problems on Mavericks, notably on installing Cheetah.

Has anyone already encountered issues installing on OSX? I can swag a little terminal action but when things don't work I quickly lose my element. To be specific, when I run the curl command I get the following:

code:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0

wget and apt-get don't appear to be valid commands on my machine and I even tried installing them but started barking up trees that I'm not certain about. Any suggestions from someone who already went down this path?

Thanks!

I'm using these two guides, FYI: http://jetshred.com/2012/07/26/installing-sickbeard-on-os-x-10-dot-8/ and http://sickbeard.com/install.html#Source

Oddly, for me, the nzbs.org feed that SABnzbd polls was not fetching new shows via SABnzbd, I could copy paste the URL from SAB RSS settings into firefox and get the current RSS feed, so nzbs.org RSS was working.

SAB debug logs seemed to show everything working as normal, except new shows were not being picked-up.

Appreciate the aforementioned help on getting sickbeard installed on OS X. Strangely, Python keeps crashing after a few hours randomly. I googled it and seems to be a common problem on Mavericks (which I'm on) with no clear resolution. Has anyone else encountered this and a have a fix? Will finally upgrading to Yosemite fix this?

I should look into some script things. I want to fix a lot of the folder/renaming rules that SABNZBD does. My initial thought was that it's complicated/ programmerish, but it's probably really easy once I read up on some stuff.

I'm not downloading anything right at the moment, so I can't check, but I think you can click on the currently downloading item in the queue and it will tell you that poo poo.

Terrible UI accessibility for that, you click on the timer thing then click total downloaded. You can then select a bunch of filters including by news server.

If I want to see where something is being grabbed I usually just watch the Messages tab in real time, not sure if the same thing is available elsewhere in a better format. It does tell you if its hitting a backup server though.

I'm really loving NZBGet/Sonarr. There is one thing, though, that I think SAB would do that NZBGet is not. Maybe I'm wrong about SAB doing it.

I finally found a file that was failing completely for my unlimited servers, and it had to drop down to the next server to try. That's working wonderfully by the way and it thrills me.

But, the fill server that it found working has great coverage but poor speed compared to my primary that saturates my downstream. Ideally it should go ahead and begin the next download in queue since there is bandwidth/primary server not being used. I didn't find any settings related to this, but I could be missing something.

And it doesn't really make too much a difference.
