Hey, great work on this tool. I finally made the leap from using the RSS integration in SAB. I have to say, it was not exactly straight forward why I would want to use sickbeard, but once I tried it - it is really good. Sorry for the long post, but I have some comments and questions after trying SB out.
1) I understand that the Add Shows section is probably going to be re-done. My one request would be to give some sort of better status feedback. The first time I did a multiple add show from root directory, I thought the whole thing had stalled. However, it was really just blowing through The Daily Show which was taking for ever because it was downloading 15 seasons worth of information.
2) Because the multiple add shows from root can take so long, might be worth adding a Pause/Resume? I dunno - would help those of us with unstable internet connections. I would have like to paused the add shows while I worked on getting my Internet PPP connection re-established.
3) When you go to add multiple shows from root directory, should it really display shows that are already in the database? (If you select one and hit continue, it then tells you the show is already in the database). Likewise, when importing multiple shows from root, the only indication that a show is already in the DB is if there is an nfo.
3.5) Could there be an option, when doing the multiple add shows to *only* create the nfo file? Currently you can't do just that, you have to get all the thumbs too. Shouldn't the thumbs (tbn files) be part of the "create images" option instead of "create metadata"?
4) The Home screen tells you how many episodes you have out of the total. Could it also tell you how many you have out of the most recent season? For example, I dont keep around all episodes (10+ years worth) of the the Daily Show. But I might keep the full season until the next one starts. Would be useful o know that I have all 90 episodes for the current season.
5) When adding a show with a bazillion episodes (Jay Leno or Jon Stewart), is there a way to limit what is retrieved? Not only is it time consuming, but I really dont care about Leno episodes from 5 years ago.
6) Very nice graphics in "Coming Episodes." Could that also be added on the individual shows when you are "Managing Shows"?
7) Actually testing sickbeard is not the easiest thing. You have to add a show that has a new episode airing soon and hope it works. If it does not, then try again. I thought it might help to at least add some test connection buttons? Would be nice to verify I have entered NZBs.org and SABNZBD info correctly and that SB can talk to both of those correctly.
I dont understand what happens when I change a show from SD to HD? My understanding is that it will try to download all the HD episodes and replace the already stored SD. What if I want to leave all the episodes I've downloaded alone, but make the future ones HD?
9) Having trouble with sabtosickbeard.exe (Windows) script in sabnzbd - Sab logs say the script ran on two episodes. However, show history in SB still says snatched. I thought it would change to downloaded or something?
Edit: Nevermind on this one. I forgot to change the cfg file to have the correct cfg extension (instead of sample)
10) As I look at the details for a particular show in "Manage shows," it tells me there are some unaired episodes coming up. After those have aired and I have downloaded, do I have to rescan to get new unaired episodes listed?
11) Once sabnzbd downloads the episode, the sabtosick script is kicking in. Looks like the last two steps are to move the file to the final destination and then rename it. Is there any way to reverse that operation. Mediaportal (at least my version of TV Series) does not like me doing that.
Again - awesome tool. I think it will only get better!
