Yeah no probs. I'll jump on the lappy later and put it together.

Here is my compiled summary:

Problem:
Headphones not starting even though it says its running.
Solution:
kill the process id that is returned from running:
ps -A | grep $(cat /home/xbian/.config/headphones/headphones.pid)
kill xxx (pid from above)
sudo /etc/init.d/headphones start

Problem:
Sickbeard says its started ok, but I get "Problem loading page" in the browser on port 9094.
Solution: (if you're not familiar with vi, google for an editor you can use.)
I had a look in /home/xbian/sickbeard/Log/sickbeard.log and there was a message about not being able to start the web server on port 8081. Had a look in /home/xbian/sickbeard/config.ini and noticed that the web_port on the second line was indeed 8081. Changed it to 9094 and restarted the service and now its all ok. How I did it:
sudo vi /home/xbian/sickbeard/config.ini
edit the line web_port and change the value to 9094
:wq
sudo shutdown -r now (restart the PI)

Problem:
Couchpotato just wont start at all.
Solution: (if you're not familiar with vi, google for an editor you can use.)
Tailing the Couchpotato.log I can see a critical error. To fix this I did the following:
sudo vi /home/xbian/couchpotato/couchpotato/runner.py
:set nu (this will show line numbers)
261G (this will take you to line 261)
add ", config['host']" to the line so it resembles the below:
server.listen(config['port'], config['host'])
:wq
sudo shutdown -r now (restart the PI)

The location for my 'sickbead' config.ini is

/home/xbian/.config/sickbeard/

is there a reason why it is not the same location as yours

I make the changes to sickbeard.ini and guess what - surprise surprise does NOT work.
This is the 5 time I have tried this - downloading the img file from Xbian and then installing the downloads via the xbian-config.

We people have the config files in different locations, the config.ini even had it pointing to sabnzdb to a different IP and port number for Sabnzdb that was installed by Xbian!

Can't even make changes with WinSCP as xbian doesn't have rights and root (tried password raspberry) is access denied.
Changed the password with xbian-config to a simple 123456 and says its all accepted and changed successfully and then you can't log in.

All a shambles if you ask me

I've updated the nzbget package in a way it works here. Can you guys test.

Fresh install:

Code:

sudo su
cd /home/xbian/
wget http://jb.xenserver.sk/xbian/xbian-package-nzbget1.0.deb
apt-get install libpar2-0
dpkg -r xbian-package-nzbget
dpkg -i xbian-package-nzbget1.0.deb

Go to http://x.x.x.x:9092/ and login with xbian:raspberry

Just tried the updated Nzbget, but I get the following error:
root@xbian:/home/xbian# dpkg -i xbian-package-nzbget1.0.deb
Selecting previously unselected package xbian-package-nzbget.
(Reading database ... 45368 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xbian-package-nzbget (from xbian-package-nzbget1.0.deb) ...
Setting up xbian-package-nzbget (1.0) ...
dpkg: error processing xbian-package-nzbget (--install):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
xbian-package-nzbget

It's on a new install of xbian, so I had no need to remove previous package (people will need to remove '1.0.deb' from the -r line to get it to remove the package, but I'm sure people will work this out. libpar2-0 installed fine.

Cheers

[CurlyMo]

Your right, i did not actually remove my previous install (by letting the 1.0.deb in) and thereby didn't get the error when i tested the package locally. Should be fixed now.

@CurlyMo

Good stuff! Installs fine now and Nzbget now downloads fine. Accepts Nzbs via black hole directory fine, but I can't get it to accept them from Sick beard through the port as Nzbget always says the password is wrong, no matter what I set it to. Will have a quick look at the config file later to see of there's anything in there. Thanks again.

[CurlyMo]

You need a patched Sickbeard*. Now NZBget is working, it will be the next package i'm doing.

*Patch can be found on our git

This patched version is the one that also allows different or alternative torrent feeds.

[CurlyMo]

No, just allows a custom username for nzbget.

Sickbeard:

Code:

sudo su
cd /home/xbian/
wget http://jb.xenserver.sk/xbian/xbian-package-sickbeard1.0.deb
apt-get install python-cheetah
dpkg -r xbian-package-sickbeard
dpkg -i xbian-package-sickbeard1.0.deb

[angriest]

In order to get nzbget to automatically unrar files, you'll need to

sudo cp /usr/local/share/nzbget/nzbget-postprocess.conf /usr/local/etc/nzbget/

and then in nzbget on the web interface, in config/post-processing, set the post process script path to

/usr/local/bin/nzbget-postprocess.sh

[CurlyMo]

I've updated the nzbget package with these changes.

@angriest, did you already try the new sickbeard package?

[Richdotward]

Thanks all for this great package, the ultimate download system for sure.

Currently got it all working on my 512 pi. Sickbeard, sabnzb and couch all working great.

Having a few issues if someone could please help.

1. I cant see any way to change the login name / pass in the torrent software. Major security risk if others know your using this version on a pi. Blocking the ports on my router at the moment to fix.

2. I tried to update unrar using this thread but just resulted in making it worse. Sabnzbd now doesnt decompress anything. Unrar -v shows version 0.01. How do i fix.

3. Being new to linux whats the correct way to turn off the pi. I assume just pulling the power wire out is not a good idea ?

4. Whats the easiest way to make an image file of my sd card for backup ? When my configuration to finalised would be nice to save just in case.

Thanks for any help.
