I was fed up with having to manually fix so many files and manage my failed downloads so I write a script to do it, hope this can be useful to others.

Basically it tries to extract a failed file anyway then send it to Sickbeard, for me at least this almost always works. It also logs the recovery attempt and clears out any old files left behind after 10 days. This script works best when set to run on queue complete because you do not want to be trying to extract half downloaded files.
Just to be on the safe side I have protections anyway so the script will not run if there are files currently downloading.

I have only had 1 failure in many months since using this script.

Note this does not work on movies/Films only TV shows, you will need to fill in all the variables at the top for this script to function.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#your sabnzbd hostname or IP
sabhost=""
#the port sabnzbd is listening on
sabport=""
#Your sabnzbd api key
sabapikey=""
#Where sabnzbd sends your incomplete files
incompletedir=""
#the user that will own your files before sending for postprocessing
runasuser=""
#location of your sab2sickbeard script
sab2sbscript=""

#do not edit this variable
finalURL="http://"$sabhost":"$sabport"/api?mode=queue&output=xml&apikey="$sabapikey""

logdate=`date`

echo "Starting Cleanup......."
cd $incompletedir
mkdir -p postprocess

queuecount=`curl -s "$finalurl" | grep filename | wc -l`

#checking the download queue is clear
if [ $queuecount -eq 0 ]; then

echo "Nothing downloading currently, continuing ...."

#removing spaces from all filesnames
find . -name '* *' | while read file;

        do
                target=`echo "$file" | sed 's/ /./g'`;
                echo "Renaming '$file' to '$target'" >> process.log;
                mv "$file" "$target";
        done;

echo "Looking for files older than 10 days for deletion"
deletelist=`find ./* -mtime +10 | grep -v temp | cut -d'/' -f2 | sort -u`
deletelistcount=`echo $deletelist | wc -w`

if [ $deletelistcount -eq 0 ] ;then
        echo "No Files to delete..."
        else
        echo "Deleting " $deletelistcount "files"

        for i in $deletelist
        do
                echo "deleting " $i

                echo $logdate " Deleting" $i "as older than 10 days" >> process.log
                rm -rf $i
        done
fi

        do
                cd "$i"

                        if [ $rar -gt 0 ]
