Next time it happens I'll put one up. Thanks MS.

Newly-aired Wanted episodes will automatically get downloaded because they will be on the "new" RSS feeds for the providers. If SB isn't running when they are on the index sites' RSS feeds then they will not get searched for until the backlog runs. SickBeard runs 24/7 here and until I upd...

I'm not convinced it's a TVDB issue. The website in intermittently inaccessible for me today (via browser), and when it has worked it has been *very* slow. SickBeard seems to time out when trying to look up my specified show name. Twice today it got past that point to where I selected the correct m...

11 was a double-length single episode. It was mistakenly labelled in most places as two episodes, including TVDB.

Speaking of TVDB - it's up and down a lot again today. Making it impossible to add new shows.

Bump to confirm solution/workaround - running for a few days now without incident. Thanks Skypike.

Thanks Shypike, forgot that option even existed - that should resolve it - thanks a lot!

Apologies for the old bump but is it possible to configure the number of retries or duration of attempts?

I used to download on my Win7 system without issue but after moving SAB to Windows Home Server this is happening almost all the time.

Hi Midget, What do you use as search criteria for shows? Show name + episode mask, or that plus episode title? The reason I ask is that I have difficulty with several shows that have international versions - the show name will have say 'Australia' in the name but when available on usenet they're add...

I find TheTVDb pops up and down a fair bit on me also. An alternative/backup (e.g. episodeworld/tvrage/something) would be awesome.

Hi Konti, Supposing all your downloads are stored in /mnt/Files/Downloads, each with a subcategory, e.g. /mnt/Files/Downloads/TV Shows/. If you download the Pilot for a tv show called 'MyTvShow' this would look like /mnt/Files/Downloads/TV Shows/MyTvShow/MyTvShow - 1x01 - Pilot episode.avi Normally ...

Yes Shady - unfortunately the NAS I'm using (and soon replacing!) offers only minimal control over permissions. I can't even get a terminal window

Thanks for the help though!

Thanks Midget, for your help and for the app.

Cheers Shady.

In the end I had to write a clunky script to create a temp file and remove it from each folder in the tree to force a timestamp update - I couldn't simply 'touch' the remote shares to bump their timestamps.

Sinnocence: Well probably the easiest way would be to wrap my sabToSickbeard.exe in your own post processing script that does whatever you want after it calls the exe. Alternately you could install python, run the sabToSickbeard.py and modify it yourself to call your script (or rewrite your script ...

Is it possible to have SickBeard run a custom script after it has finished on Windows? I can't see an existing option for it but it would be handy (passing the input arguments + destination clean/new full file path info to the script). I have kinda a fringe case. My current setup isn't ideal - I dow...
