- DejaVu - 2011-01-03

Can I remove the cache for 'already tried' nzbs? I had to reinstall SabNZBd and CP does not seem to be redownloading the nzbs again. Can I reset the search stats so it will?


- bobbydavro - 2011-01-03

why will none of the following films add to cp, I just get error 500 internal server. I seem to get this alot with many of the films I want to add?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590089/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1704619/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216520/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1572491/

however many others do work. I can get newzbin to watch for the films using their report URL contains and then the ttxxxxx. I know cp doesn't have the same report feature just thought I would throw that in as an idea.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1704619/ added fine for me.

something wrong with my setup then?

win 7

it seems to happen on films on imdb with no covers? new or foreign perhaps.

Does the renamer support including media source, like Bluray or hdtv, etc? Perhaps this can just be taken from details of the nzb.

Thanks!

I don't trust CP to rename/move files... just not reliable enough yet.

Suggestions for Developers:

Either use Sab's API to track completion of download and when complete have CP do the rename/move based on the movie name that was used to get the .nzb

OR

Create a custom .cmd script and link it to the download using Sab's API and let Sab do the rename/move upon completion using the script.


If you need assistance with either of these, I think I can help. I don't know python, but I'm able to do this with .Net using RESTful API calls to Sab so I don't see why you can't.

Same thing here. With SickBeard I can move a ton of files in tell it to "Process Folder Manually" and it works. Or the API works. With CouchPotato I'll move files in. Kill it restart it. I see cron working then it just stops... no reason in the logs. Just stops. So I'll kill it and start it again.

Still easier than moving movies by hand.

There is no need to do that, because while sab is extracting, it will prepend the folder with a special sequence, like _EXTRACTING_ or something like that. Because of that, CP wouldn't move anything before it's not downloaded. It's just that one some systems, the renamer thread seems to die every now and then.

hmm.. it also seems to incorrectly identify movies. that was my main point... to link a renaming operation to the .nzb being downloaded in sab either by sab's post processing scripts or by detecting "finished downloads" using Sab's API and triggering the correct renaming operation (many ways to identify and link the download to a specific movie: such as by nzb id number for example).


- alshain - 2011-01-04

Ah, I see what you mean. Actually, Therms as implemented this, but I think it's a hidden setting Smile It will create custom postprocessing script for each movie, passing CP the correct IMDB id when renaming.

Thats my log. It shows that sabnzbd is up and running on 9090 but I still can't access any webgui

This is the end of my CP log

Code:
17:41:58 INFO  [        app.lib.cron.yarr] Finished search.
17:41:58 ERROR [          app.lib.sabNzbd] Unable to connect to SAB.
17:41:58 INFO  [          app.lib.sabNzbd] URL: http://localhost:9090/sabnzbd/api?

how do I uninstall SAB from terminal? I am a noob so you know.

This is the sabnzbd.ini. Maybe I have something screwed up here?

mike, you haven't read the output log. It says there are errors and it is shutting down and saving. Please look for a tutorial on setting up SAB and follow that. Once you get a working SAB everything else is likely to fall into place.

CP already does something like this. I implemented a couple weeks ago.

No one has implemented a UI for it yet, but all you have to do is set the "ppDir" setting in config.ini to SAB's post-processing directory.

After that you'll never have a mis-identified movie again (unless the movie is identified wrong on usenet or at the nzb provider...in which case there's not much to do about it).

I am curious to know if CP can analyze your current XBMC library and automatically begin finding and downloading higher quality versions of your media collection. I was not sure if this was an option or if the original SD file had to be downloaded by CP...


- alshain - 2011-01-05

No it cannot. The latter is the case.
