sabnzbd / sickbeard / couchpotato pbi's

[HHawk]

I have a quick question, I never bothered with it earlier (as in my previous Freenas / Sabnzbd / Couchpotato) installations, however I want it now setup correctly.

I setup Couchpotato that it should download movies to _movies folder within Downloads directory. However the files alway get placed in Downloads instead of Downloads/_movies? How do I solve this? Any idea?

On a sidenote; I noticed something different (probably Couchpotato setting), but it now downloads movies like this:

15711-a.b.hdtv.x264EFNet- Somemovie.2009.720p.BluRay.x264-aBD -008113 - abd-Somemovie720p-sample.mkv yEnc

(directory name)

In my previous installation it downloaded movies like this:

Somemovie 2009 720p Bluray x264 aBD

(directory name)

So without all extra mumbo jumbo. Which setting is this?

However, the first question is the most important (and most annoying) one at the moment. Thanks in advance for your help.

It sounds like you're missing two things:

1. You need a SABnzbd category for movies, mapped to the relative folder in SAB's download path that you want movies saved in, with the corresponding category set in Couchpotato configs
2. You should configure CP's post-processing rules to move and rename downloads from SAB's download directory (with the category path, if that's where you're downloading to) to your final target directory and file naming structure.

Is anyone else have FreeNAS Sickbeard 1.0 timing issues?

If Show A airs at 9:00 - 9:30, I can check and see on nzbmatrix that the show is usually uploaded by 9:35 at the latest. I have Sickbeard configured to search for new episodes every 10 minutes. So, I would assume by 10:00, it would have searched at least once, found it, snatched it, and downloaded -- however, none of that is happening.
By 10:00, I check "Coming Episodes" and Show A will still be listed as "Coming" rather than "Missed". If I go into the details of Show A, I can see the episode which has already aired will be greyed out as if it hasn't aired yet. I can run a full update, etc. but nothing seems to change this.

If I wait until 11:30ish, it will automagically download how it normally should, only much much later.

I ran a jexec 1 /bin/tcsh followed by "date". The date/time/timezone is all correct. What kind of magic is happening here?

I've had problems with this before as well, but i think I fixed it by getting the right time in my jai (which you seem to have). There's also a timezone setting in sickbeard apparently (says there faq) but I've searched and couldn't find it.

The PBI's work great! But I am still tweaking permissions and having some problems. What I did was that i have a dataset Movies which lives at /mnt/vault/Movies. I then added a mount point to a directory inside the jail and used:

Code:

chown 1003:media /usr/Movies

This way it allows couchpotato/sickbeard/sabnzb to write to that folder and it allows my base system to also create stuff in that folder. This works great but the problem is that when couchpotato move stuff to that folder I can't delete it from samba through the 1003 user. I already tried creating a media group with the same GID in the base system and then assigning 1003 to that group but it still doesnt work.

Can anyone tell me what i have to do so i am also able to delete the folders/files sickbeard/couchpotato create from a samba share?

Nobody have a solution for this ? ;)? There should be a way this is possible :).

I don't use samba so I can't help much, you might be able to change the permissions couchpotato saves the files as. I know you can do it with the file sabnzbd downloads.

Hi every one

I'm using the version 1.0 pbi of sickbeard and SABnzbd with freenas 8.3.0.

I'm having a weird issue in SABnzbd, when i go to the Config / Categories tab where i have setup a tvshows category. Next to the TV there should be a dropdown for post processing script and where i should be able to select the SABtoSickbeard.py that dropdown isn't there ?

In SABnzbd Config / folders tab under the Post-Processing Scripts Folder setting box i have tried to put the path to /SickBeard/autoProcessTV/ and press save but if i go to another tab in the config and come back to the folders tab the information i just put in is gone ?

Can anyone tell me if this is a bug or what i'm doing wrong, it's driving me nuts :)

Just to check some stuff..
- your putting the full jail path to the SickBeard autoProcessTV folder, with a / in the front right? should be /usr/pbi/sickbeard-amd64/SickBeard/autoProcessTV
- other settings save fine?

 

[JanJessen]

Hi Joshua

Yeah i'm putting the full jail path with / in the front. All other settings are saving just fine including the different path stuff in the Config / Categories tab. I have also checked permissions they har owner Media group Media.

maybe check the config file for sabnzbd and see what the setting is. You could also shutdown sabnzbd, edit the config file, start it up and see if it shows up correctly in the gui.

I don't use samba so I can't help much, you might be able to change the permissions couchpotato saves the files as. I know you can do it with the file sabnzbd downloads.

What do you use then for the shares? And do you know a way for what you use as shares? I can always switch it doesn't have to be smb :).

First off, AWESOME WORK. I have to hand it to you, Josh; you've done a pretty awesome job putting these PBIs together.

I've been a lurker for quite some time now, and I was able to get the plugins working from a while back (0.7 which required manually starting the service). Everything's been running pretty awesome with the exception of that 'Update found' notification in Sabnzbd. Anyhow, I just wanted to stay up to date and noticed that you were up to v1.0.

I was wondering if it was safe to just 'Upgrade' the PBIs through the FreeNAS web interface or if it were cleaner to do an uninstall and then re-install? I'd prefer just upgrading, but I wasn't sure if I'd be stuck with non-functional app instances afterwards. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Don't upgrade the PBI through the UI. Finish whatever you're downloading, stop SAB, copy the contents of your data folder somewhere else, uninstall the old PBI, install the new PBI, copy the contents of the data folder back into place, chown those files to media:media, and then restart. It sounds like a lot of steps, but it's really not that painful.

And once you're up to the 1.0 PBI, there's a provided script to upgrade SAB to the latest release without having to install a new PBI (it's covered in the first post of this thread).

Hi,

first off all thanx and credits to Joshua and other teammembers for the excellent work. I have downloaded the 0.9 32bit Sabnzbd version and installed it. First run was succesfull but after messing with the nameserver couldn't get sab to start again. I deleted the jail, created a new one and it is working a-okay now. As I am a total noob on freenas, freebsd, with some basic knowledge on unix (know how to chmod, cd, ls -la, etc.) I noticed that the downloaded files via Sab are all with permission 700. As I would like to have control via my CIFS share on a windows machine (Yes I know, better OS's do exists) I would like to have default it 777. Now I have to log on to my freenas server, open a shell, cd to the Downloaded folder and 'chmod -R 777 *'.

Can anyone please let me know how default the filepermission to 777 inside the jail created by Sabnzbd?

Hope it can be fixed!!! Thank you all for the good work!!! Have enjoyed reading this post!!!

I'm surprised you're seeing 700 permissions, as I though SAB's default was 755. But I don't have a default install to check on. That said, SAB exposes folder permission settings in the UI. Click "Config" at the top left of the screen, click "Folders", and set "Permissions for completed downloads" to 777. Save the config, and any future downloads should end up with 777 permissions.

 

[h0mer]

Hi Toddos,

strange this option was somehow blank upon install. I imagined new files would get same permissions as folder they are placed in. Apparently not. Have this option now set to 777. Seems it is working perfectly now. Thanks!!!

Thanks to all supporters of freenas and especially to all creators and contributors of these pbi's.

Thanks also for all the support to noobs like me ;-)))))

Is it possible to install two instances of SickBeard? One using port 8081 and the second instance on port 8082?

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

What do you use then for the shares? And do you know a way for what you use as shares? I can always switch it doesn't have to be smb :).

I use NFS, and have all my permissions open, not the safest idea but I have my servers firewalled off from the rest of my network. I do use SMB but not much so I can't help much..

Not out of the box, but it is possible without too much fuss.
* install sickbeard pbi, start the plugin, change the port to 8082.
* install sickbeard_anime pbi

Code:

rm -r /usr/pbi/sb_anime-amd64/SickBeard/ #delete the SickBeard Anime webinterface files
cp /usr/pbi/sickbeard-amd64/SickBeard/  /usr/pbi/sb_anime-amd64/SickBeard/ #copy over the SickBeard webinterface files

*start sickbeard anime plugin, which should actually present you with regular sickbeard

goodluck

Thanks Joshua - it appears to have worked.

However, there is an error when I go to the "Config" -> "Help & Info":

I'll try adding shows anyway and see what happens...
