Post-processing script for Couch Potato not working

Post by jestarr82 »

I'm a new sabnzbd user and followed the specific instructions in order to use Couch Potatoe's post-processing script to work. I dragged the scripts to the specific folder that I pointed sabnzbd to. When I go to categories, none of the pre-set categories are there, and the script is not available in the drop down menu. How do I get this working? Thanks.

Are these scripts executable? What kind of extension do they have?
You're not even mentioning your operating system...

Sorry. I'm on OSX and all the scripts have a .py extension.

They should also have their X (executable) bit set.
And have as first line:
#!/usr/bin/python

What do you mean above? I just double clicked the .py file and opened in notepad.

My first line is: #!/usr/bin/env python

Does it have the executable bit set?
From a terminal session, use:
chmod +x your-script.py

I'm sorry, I'm completely new to terminal and sab. How do I tell if it has an executable bit set? Am I supposed to replace your-script above with sabToSickBeard?

You can see with the show-info in the Finder.
Yes, replace the name.
BTW: this is all basic scripting knowledge, very easy to Google :)
