Sickbeard and NZB post processing help

[gandalf72]

Anyone able to help with a problem post processing from Sickbeard to sabnzbd or vice versa.

Problem that I have is the sab will download it to the complete folder but will not move it the categories setup.

Now I know that I do not have python set up but do have it installed but don’t have a clue about it. So this maybe part of the problem?
I have latest sickbeard and sab

SAB Settings

In sab\folders the setting is set to C:\sickbeard files\Complete files for complete files

SICKBEARD SETTINGS

Post-Processing

Settings that dictate how Sick Beard should process completed downloads.
C:\sickbeard files\Complete files TV Download Dir The folder where your download client puts your TV downloads. NOTE: Use only if not using SABnzbd+ post processing. Or if SABnzbd+ and Sick Beard are on different PCs.

Only boxes ticked are :

Rename EpisodesRename episode using the naming settings below?
Scan and ProcessScan and post-process any files in your TV Download Dir? NOTE: Do not use if you use sabToSickbeard w/ SABnzbd+!



Anyone able to help me where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.

I have been trying to use the guides in http://htpcbuild.com/htpc-software/s...configuration/ but I think there is a step either missing or that I have misunderstood.

Thanks in advance

Are you using the sabtosickbeard script in sabnzbd for TV Shows? That should take care of it for you. Can you take screenshots from sickbeard and sab settings?

[gandalf72]

I dont think I have seen this script that you refer to ... this is probably where my problem lays. I had issues with python so no idea about this. I installed python 2.6 but that was as far as I managed with that. I didnt see any reference in the guide to the script you mentioned.

Is there any guides to this script and how to install etc?

Thanks in advance

To set up post processing, first copy the contents of the autoProcessTV directory from your Sick Beard installation to your SABnzbd+ scripts folder (or set your scripts folder to the location of the autoProcessTV directory). Rename autoProcessTV.cfg.sample to simply autoProcessTV.cfg and open it in a text editor. Change the host, port, username, and password values to the appropriate settings for your Sick Beard server. Then set the appropriate script as your postprocessing script inside SABnzbd+/HellaNZB:

sabToSickbeard.py - linux/OSX SABnzbd+

sabToSickbeard.exe - Windows SABnzbd+

hellaToSickbeard.py - HellaNZB


Note: If your SABnzbd+ is running on a different PC than your Sick Beard you may need to enter your TV download dir into your Sick Beard settings so that Sick Beard knows how to find the SABnzbd+ downloads.
Note 2: You must disable SAB sorting to use Sick Beard post processing, all episodes should be being post-processed from a temporary download folder.

Thanks, Am I correct in thinking that as I dont have a scripts folder that there is stuff other than creating a script folder that I need to do? Sorry complete noob at this.

[Geko]

Do you have an autoprocessTV folder? In a locations such as the example below -

C:\Program Files\Sickbeard\autoProcessTV\autoProcessTV.cfg.sample

[gandalf72]

Yes, I have that folder and that file that contains host=localhostport=8081
username=
password=
web_root=
ssl=0


I see then its looking for me to set it to rename the file which I done.

Confused by Then set the appropriate script as your postprocessing script inside SABnzbd+/HellaNZB:

sabToSickbeard.py - linux/OSX SABnzbd+

sabToSickbeard.exe - Windows SABnzbd+

hellaToSickbeard.py - HellaNZB

Is it saying that I need to add in the autoprocesstv.cfg the line sabtosickbeard.exe as I will be using windows and sabnzbd

[gandalf72]

Can anyone tell me as well is this the correct place to put the script file location inside sab if this is where the

autoProcessTV.cfg

Also

Categories
You remember the “TV” category from Sickbeard? That’s right. The NZB’s downloaded from Sickbeard is marked as TV when it's passed on to SABnzbd. So you need to set up the TV category for correct Post Processing of the files.
• On the second line type in “tv” with small letters, under Category.
• Under Processing choose +Delete. This will make SABnzbd do the selected choice as well as all the above. It will download files, check and repair, unpack and delete the source files after the episodes have been transferred.
• Select “sabToSickBeard.exe” under Script
• Click Add on the current line
• Click Save on the last line (strange behavior, yea I know)

In this section above - after it talks about selecting +delete, the select "sabtosickbeard.exe" under script. I am not seeing this option in the version of sab that I have,

Where is this option to add script? I only see 4 options i.e. name of category, priority, processing, folder path and groups/indexer tags.

Thanks in advance

No. Inside the Sabnzbd application





Try this guide. It's what I used, I think.

Hi Thanks for that, I changed to that guide and managed to identify a couple of areas that I had got wrong. I am puzzled though about where you place the script.

I only see 4 options i.e. name of category, priority, processing, folder path and groups/indexer tags under categories in Sabnzbd which is the section that if I understand correctly they are looking for me to point the program to the sabToSickBeard.exe.

Any help where I am going wrong would be much appreciated. Thanks for all help so far.

[Geko]

Mine looks like this...

[gandalf72]

I must have a really old version (0.7.1 according to help section) or one that has removed that as I only have 5 sections in the categories part. Which version should I have? Thanks for help.

[Geko]

Mine is 0.6.15.

I don't know why you don't have it. I can't remember creating any folders... Maybe someone else will have the answer.

[gandalf72]

Thanks for all help offered it is really strange, dont understand it myself but put it down to stupid me versus anything else.

[gandalf72]

I didnt create a script processing folder in

Post-Processing Scripts Folder am I correct that it should be pointed to

C:\Program Files\sickbeard\autoProcessTV as that is where the sabtosickbeard.exe is located? I then go into tv part of categories and chose that to have the script that I created?

Thanks in advance
