SickBeard Anime/Absolute Numbering

[nevilos]

Nice work guys! I just got Transmission, NZBGet, Sickbeard and CouchPotato working together by getting unrar-nonfree by following this:
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/3617/how-to-install-unrar-nonfree

I've heard there's an Anime branch of Sickbeard here that works well:
https://github.com/lad1337/Sick-Beard

For the meantime I could probably use the mac binaries to get the nzb's and let NZBGet on my Pi do the downloading, extracting and post-processing but I was wondering if:

1. There's a way that I could get the XBIAN-specific configurations that was came with the combo packages.
2. Install the additional Sick-Beard Anime and fine-tune it so it plays well with the other packages.
3. Let you guys know how I did it as a contribution when it's in a stable enough state.

I don't mind hacking it to bits but it's the day job making console games that gets in the way.. =P

1) You can just find all the settings in /usr/local/etc/
2) You can request this feature @Faaz0
3) You can also let this know to @Faaz0

If you want to contribute we can always use some developers / package maintainers. The more dev'ers we have the less work each of us have to do Let us know what you like to do.

Cool.. I'll send him a message if he hasn't seen this already. I could start with this bit and see how it goes. ^_^

The current job is to get the update functionality working in the sickbeard.

[nevilos]

Ok I've just been re-awakening my Linux all because of the Pi. If you guys got stuff I can look into to get started, send them my way. Maybe PM me for contacts and details. My github's also nevilos but it's empty atm..

[CurlyMo]

What languages do you program in?

[nevilos]

Mainly:
C and most of its flavours and basically anything with curly brackets..
Python

I'm very adaptable to any language after a couple of hours, days or weeks. My background's CG and Game Development. Been a technical director in those industries for around 8 years. I also do electronic hardware these days so I can build stuff that interface with software like sensor networks. Shifted to workflow and automation a few years back just because I'm lazy and only want stable systems that just work without me having to re-think and re-do stuff all the time. ^_^

[CurlyMo]

Great. I'll get back to you with some proposals...

[nevilos]

Awesome..

[nevilos]

Um.. Which part tells XBian to run the services on startup? I'll turn off current SickBeard and replace it with the Anime Build.

[CurlyMo]

Code:

ls -Al /etc/init.d/
update-rc.d [name of program] remove

Or use xbian-config --> services

[nevilos]

It runs.. I renamed the sickbeard folder to sickbeard_def. Anything I need to change to get it to run on startup? Also it looks like NZBGet keeps getting stuck on loading when accessing the webpage for it. Is the SABnzbd package for XBian still working and updeatable?

[nevilos]

Success!! Turns out swapping it with sickbeard anime works fine.
The install guide: http://sickbeard.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1452

Would it be possible to swap regular old boring sickbeard to sickbeard anime by default using this instead?
https://github.com/lad1337/Sick-Beard

Still works the same way but with anime download support. All it needs is configuring for the xbian user and setting the port to 9094. ^_^

[Faaz0]

i looked into it; merging the anime stuff in the xbian package is a lot of work. Is this a desirable addition for the xbian package, i.e. are there more people that would like to see this integrated with xbian?

[CurlyMo]

Why not
