Sabnzbd TV rename feature

[Christopher Ward]

Not sure if this is the correct place for this question but when my Sabnzbd downloads tv shows passed from sickbeard sometimes it makes the same tv folder but in a different format.

For example one day it'll download and make a folder "Chicago PD" and the next it'll make a folder called "Chicago P D" with a space.

it does this for multiple shows including:

Marvels Agents of S H I E L D - Marvels Agents of SHIELD
Hawaii Five-0 2010 - Hawaii Five-0
Scandal - Scandal 2012
The Flash 2014 - The Flash
NCIS LA - Ncis Los Angeles

I have lived with it for a while and just wondering if its fixable so it just makes the one folder for each of those type of shows.

Sabnzbd does the post processing and looks like this:

I have never seen someone actually use that feature. everyone I know uses post-processing in sickbeard or nzbtomedia

 

[Christopher Ward]

I'll try and use SB post processing and let you know how i get on, I've always used the sorting feature on sab for movies and tv shows so no idea how i would set SB up to do it.

Do you know of any guides, i found one but its for sickrage so not sure how to set it up properly.

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

I maintain documentation of my setup on my blog (google jruehlig.com)
but, I also use sickrage, don't know of many people still using sickbeard either, lol.

oh, and if you did still want to use that feature the sabnzbd forum might be better help. the main dev is active there.

 

[Christopher Ward]

Oh it was your video i came across and noticed it was SickRage so wasn't sure if the same rules applies if i was using SB. I'll try using SB and if its complicated ill probably just follow your video.

I found this tutorial but i can't find the path to SB scripts folder when im navigating sab folders bit :

are the plugins installed to the same jail, if not sabnzbd won't be able to see sickbeards scripts.

 

[Christopher Ward]

Oh that's a problem then. It put them into different jails when i installed through the plugins tab, I guess i'll follow your guide lol

do note the video for my setup is outdated. my blog steps are kept up to date though.

Hi Joshua, i seem to have run into some problems and im hoping you can help me.

First let me explain how I've set everything up and how i intend to use it. I didn't do any of the transmission stuff and I have the following folder structure:

downloads\complete\movies (not "movie" like on your video and website)
downloads\complete\tv
downloads\incomplete\
videos\movies
videos\tvshows

I would like downloaded movies to go to downloads > complete > movies, it auto rename them, once i watch i'll manually move it to videos > movies, same with tv shows downloads\complete\tv then i manually move to videos\tvshows


Problem 1:
The nginx doesn't seem to be working i can access the plugins via the following urls

http://192.168.0.35:5050/couchpotato/
http://192.168.0.35:8081/sickrage/home
http://192.168.0.35:8080/sabnzbd/

When i remove the port from sickrage and couchpotato i get 404 error not found but sabnzbd works.

http://192.168.0.35/sabnzbd/ (works)
http://192.168.0.35/sickrage/home (404 not found)
http://192.168.0.35/couchpotato/ (404 not found)

---


My next problem is with couchpotato.

when the newer versions of sab install now it auto generates a few categories for you, "movies", "tv" etc, so i decided to use the one it created called "movies" and not "movie" like your guide (you'll also notice i have a movies folder in downloads instead of movie.

I got this error:

so i looked in the autoProcessMedia file and changed [[movie]] to [[movies]]

Now from the sab history it looks like it worked

but when i go to downloads > movies there is nothing there. It shows up for half a second after it unpacks then once it processes it vanishes.

Hi Christopher,

1) Did you set the webroot settings in sickrage (in it's config) and couchpotato (in its advanced settings), then restart those plugins?
If not it won't know to listen at those URL paths. sabnzbd listens at both "/" and "/sabnzbd" by default.

2) What does couchpotato have for that movie under Movies > Manage? It should say where it moved the files to.

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

Also manually moving files after being watched seems like a bit of a pain to me =P

I personally have everything put where I ultimately want it. I then watch everything through emby or kodi (which syncs its library using the emby plugin).
That way I or my family doesn't need to manage files.

I tend to watch a lot of shows and it's hard to keep track of where i'm at unless i do it like that.

I have the couchpotato Url Base set to "couchpotato"

I set the web_root when i was following along with your video via ssh with "EE /var/db/sickrage/config.ini"

see attachments.

something like emby/kodi does that for you. it manages your watched status, and where you are in every episode.

Can I see a screenshot of your nginx config?

 

[Christopher Ward]

If it helps when i go to http://192.168.0.35:8081/

i get this on a blank page:

check your server block, there are some typos there.
I see alot of people get that same typo. Maybe a symptom of using the web terminal.

look at each line starting at "location". What you have is not correct.

Thank you, for some reason it didn't copy over the ~ characters in the web ui. It's all working now :)

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

yeah, I see that issue often. might be a bug with the web console
