SickBeard 3.0 spk

September 11, 2011 zebulon 80 comments

This is SickBeard 3.0 spk. It will bring a nice icon for DSM 3.2 users, and change the way the installation is done: this spk does not include SickBeard any more, it will be downloaded from GitHub when you install it. That means that you will have an up to date version, whenever you install it. Download here.

It addresses the following issues:

(3.0) Add icon for DSM3.2 users.
(3.0) Don’t include the source code of SickBeard, but download it from GitHub at installation time.
(3.0) When upgrading the spk, clean up the update history file to enforce an application upgrade.
(2.0) Don’t rely on the SABnzbd spk to provide the Python environment, use the Python spk instead.
(2.0) As a consequence of the above point, SickBeard now runs with its own user on the NAS. It was previously using the sabnzbd user. This may produce some error when changing the access permission (Failed to set permission for … to 666) but this is harmless, as the permission bits ar already ok. I will try to submit a patch to SickBeard to fix this.
(2.0) Clear the stale PID file when SickBeard is shutdown the hard way. Reported by many on SickBeard 1.1 spk.
(1.1) The port number is 8081. No change in the spk, just a few word here as this information was missing. Thanks Morten for reporting this on CouchPotato.
(1.1) Ensure that the PATH environment variable contains standard synology path only, and no any 3rd party directories like ipkg. Reported by Diaoul on CouchPotato, thanks.
(1.1) Make the DSM icon available for every user, not only the admin. Reported by kauhl on transmission 2.30b1, but it affects all my packages.
(1.1) If SABnzbd is not configured, go on without connecting SB to SAB. If you later wish to use SABnzbd as a downloader for SB, you will need to setup it by hand, or do a full reinstall of the SB spk.
(1.1) Add the web UI port to the DSM Package Manager interface. It will get updated if changed if the in the application.
(1.1) As the first start may take some time, give it more time to start before reporting an error.

This spk requires my Python spk to work correctly. The dependency will be checked at the installation time, and you will be redirected to the download page if it is missing. You must install at least version 2.6.6 1.

Tested with DSM 3.2 1922, on a DS408 and a DS210j. Not tested on DSM 3.1 or older, but it should work. Please report success and failure, as you always do.

The package is about 40kB, it will download 2MB from GitHub, and install 6.5MB on your NAS. It will grow to 11MB at the first start (python compiled files), and more due to cache files and logs. All is cleanly removed when the package is removed.

The package is compressed using xz, and supports all the NAS supported by Python spk, i.e. all the NAS from the x07 to x11 series. No changes were made to the source code. Specific scripts to the Synology DSM were also added.

Seriously, I am just new getting into this, but for months I have been running your Transmission package, and then recently started using your SABnzbd package and then Sick Beard. You have taken the Synology servers I have to the next level! Everything is slick, integrated, and always up to date. Thank you for all your efforts!!

For some reason when I try to update I get this;

just upgraded to 3.2 and SB3.0 – at the top of the screen it says:
‘unknown version: if you’ve never used the sick beard upgrade system then I don’t know what version you have’.

is this something that I need to do?

Hi,
could you create a .spk file which downloads and installs the Subliminal Version of Diaouls Sickbeard? There should not be much change except for the download path.

Just installed this great package. Adding shows does not work for me with a default install. The pulldown list to select a language does not get filled, searching hangs forever.
As a workaround I now set the RUNAS user to root in the start-stop script, which works, but I would like to fix this properly. Any ideas? Would be much appreciated!
#8 | Written by JKP about 8 months ago.

Installed SAB spk and Sickbeard spk. Having two issues:
1) how can I drill into the root directory to find the say scripts in sick beard?

2) sickbeard is not auto processing d/l once say has d/l the file.

Sorry for being such a noob.
BTW- DS111, SB 3.0

Thanks!

Hi,

thx for this awesome package. you can’t believe how much time i spent in the past trying to install this one you made it much easier.

am just wondering where did you hide the AutoProcessTV folder? i can’t find it anywhere

thx in advance
#10 | Written by Peter about 8 months ago.

Hi thomas, that can be found here: /usr/local/var/sickbeard/autoProcessTV
Everything working for you out of the box? Adding shows?
#11 | Written by thomas about 8 months ago.

thx peter i found it now. well hidden

yes sickbeard working perfectly.had only problems with one series.. not that important though
#12 | Written by Seth about 8 months ago.

Thanks once again for the awesome apps/updates. Everything seems to be working wonderfully but I still get: “Failed to set permission for /volume1/Video/TV Shows/ to 666″. Again, everything seems to be working fine, but I keep getting this in my log. Sickbeard/SABnzbd has read/write permission on both the Downloads and Videos folders on my NAS and the permissions setting in the config of SABnzbd is set to 777. Just curious if this is something to be concerned with or to (continue) to ignore:).

Thanks all and +1 for a paypal link.
#13 | Written by Jens about 8 months ago.

got the same “issue” as Seth with the permissions in the log. everything seems to be moved/renamed fine tho..

POSTPROCESSER :: Failed to set permission for /volume1/video/name/filename.mkv to 666
#14 | Written by JKP about 8 months ago.

how do I navigate the root directory on the synology? Do I use file browser?
#15 | Written by JeremyR about 8 months ago.

Thank you for this and all other excellent releases.

I have fixed the permission errors after post processing by setting the SickBeard user as the owner of the TV folders through the file browser in DSM (3.2, DS1511+). However, when I use SickBeard to add a new show it can create the folder successfully but not write the nfo or fanart. The privileges in the file browser for the folder have read, write and execute selected for “Others” but “Owner” and “Group” don’t have any selected. Once I add the permissions and force a full update these files are written successfully.

Does anyone know if this is a problem I can fix and is it a general SickBeard problem or a package problem?
#16 | Written by Amaterasu about 8 months ago.

install the package midknight commander
telnet to the nas and run the command “mc”

Is there a way to batch change all the show from SD to HD or vis versa?
#19 | Written by FernandoMiguel about 8 months ago.

do you have a Package Source list that we can add to Package Center?
#20 | Written by FernandoMiguel about 8 months ago.

I first installed from git and everything worked ok.
then i removed and installed via this spk.
but i cant rename files.

where should i file a bug?
#21 | Written by Rob about 8 months ago.

Dude thanks you rock. Can’t update via Git, is this on purpose or should it be updating?

Same issue as Seth and Jens for every download –

Sickbeard has read/write permissions on both the process folder and the destination folders. Anyone have any fix?

“There is a newer version available (you’re 4 commits behind)— Update Now”

So, is this how I update? or do I wait for a new SPK to be released – I’m a little confused.
#24 | Written by Dannydek about 8 months ago.

Will get a Synology NAS in a few days. This stuff is kinda new to me. I was wondering if this SPK will have the subtitle support the earlier blogpost was talking about?
#25 | Written by biped about 8 months ago.

I answered my own question re: upgrading (post #23) – clicked the ‘update now’ link and it updated fine. (ds1511+, 3.2)
#26 | Written by Dag Notland about 8 months ago.

I just tried a clean install and I keep getting failed, then I check the Package Manager and it’s service is there, but if I start it it fails to run and I can’t uninstall it, this is a DS211J. Sickbeard 2 didn’t have any issues except for being sluggish and didn’t want to upgrade with the web interface…
#27 | Written by goodwin about 8 months ago.

Just did the latest SB update and now the service won’t run I got an error saying “something” was preventing it from restarting once the update had finished.
#28 | Written by houndtt about 8 months ago.

For the new seasons in SickBeard not updating the index on Synology I’ve attempted to create a fix via the following pull request… if anyone out there can help debug it for me that would be great…

#29 | Written by Dan about 8 months ago.

I am so close! I’ve installed this on my Synology and have it downloading torrents, but the one piece of the puzzle I cannot figure out is how to automatically download the torrents into the Download Station. It needs watch folder functionality! Argh! Any ideas besides using transmission on how to do this?? I’ve scoured the web with no answers. Thanks all!
#30 | Written by Knabtsop about 8 months ago.

I works great here on a 211j. Keep up the good work
#31 | Written by xkelly about 8 months ago.

I just have to say great job on these apps. Just started using your sickbeard, sabznbd and Transmission for my new synology. Love it.
Question if you have the time. It seems SickBeards’s post processing isn’t working. As a test, I tried to do manual processing on a downloaded file, but keep getting the following below. I have checked that the sickbeard user has rw for all appropriate directories–have even gave rw to all directories. Not sure what’s going on. Am using ds3.2 with all the latest synoblog updates including your python. Thanks!

Dan, you might want to try rutorrent. It has more features than transmission. Don’t recall if it has watch folders.
#33 | Written by Rory about 8 months ago.

Hey, I’m new as well. Just after downloading python then sickbeard. Then in sickbeard add a new show. I’ve marked one as “wanted” then it shows me at the bottom of sick beard “1 shows (1 active)”… so what do I need to do next to get my synology to download this show? Thanks

If i’m allready running 2.0 spk, do i just upgrade it or do i need to uninstall 2.0 spk and then install 3.0 spk?
#35 | Written by xkelly about 7 months ago.

OK. updating my last post… A restart of my 1511+ fixed permissions issue with sick beard. post-processing now works. Again, thanks to Zebulon for the excellent work. Where’s the donation link?
#36 | Written by Mark Veenstra about 7 months ago.

I got SabNZB and SickBeard running on my Synology NAS. Everything works fine, but I was wondering how can I configure SickBeard to download only TV shows with burned Dutch subtitles in it? I use my PS3 for streaming to my TV, but I like to have Dutch subtitles burned into the AVI.

Anyone know how to configure this?
#37 | Written by xkelly about 7 months ago.

Yikes! Within a day of seeing post processing working (moving downloads to their associated directory after a reboot), it’s stopped working again with the same permission errors. If anyone has any ideas… check out my earlier posts for the details.
#38 | Written by corliath about 7 months ago.

Is it possible to switch git repositories? I’d like to add the anime branch from here http://sickbeard.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1452&p=6377. Any suggestions on how I might do that?

Something is wrong with the download link. It’s only 40kb when i download

Nevermind, just saw that its not included but will be downloaded from GitHub
#42 | Written by K1LL3M about 7 months ago.

Any idea why I would be getting this error with SickBeard

POSTPROCESSER :: Exception generated in thread POSTPROCESSER: 13

Everything still works as expected
#43 | Written by K1LL3M about 7 months ago.

Looking at the above error, it happens precisely every 10 minutes. Anybody have any ideas?
#44 | Written by George L about 7 months ago.

I tried to install Sickbeard (SB) and SABNZBD (SAB). SB installed no problem, but SAB did not work because its default port 8080 conflicts with the Synology Photo Station default port which also is 8080. In this case what happens is that when you try to launch SAB, it simply goes to the file manager and SAB is not accessible. So I uninstalled Zebulon SAB and installed Merty’s SAB instead, which uses port 9200 by default. I would suggest that a different SAB default port be used for the Zeb SAB package so it does not conflict with the built-in Synology applications. The downside to my solution is that I have to install the Zeb Python for SB and Merty’s Python for his SAB. Two Pythons in one machine! I hope they don’t fight! Thank you Zebulon for the good work.
#45 | Written by xkelly about 7 months ago.

George L: You change the port number in Zeb’s SAB under configuration general. If you can’t get to the configuration page because Photo station is running, maybe you can turn off Photo Station until SAB’s port is changed, then re-enable it.
#46 | Written by George L about 6 months ago.

Hey xkelly did you get that Errno 13 thing fixed (your post #31)? I have the same issue. BTW I am sticking with Merty’s SAB for the time being, it seems to work except for this Errno 13 thing which eventually I hope will be solved. I’m thinking it’s just my settings not being right somewhere.
#47 | Written by xkelly about 6 months ago.

Hey George L: No I didn’t. It’s a weird little bug. Some days I’ll check the download directory and see that Sick Beard has processed everything–copied them to the correct directories and deleted the originals. Other days, nothing has been copied and the log gives the same error as before. Not sure what it is. About half the time I’m moving the files myself. Guess it’s better than all the time.
#48 | Written by George L about 6 months ago.

Hey xkelly: My Errno 13 ‘permission denied’ problem was entirely my stupidity, in SAB I hadn’t provided a default permission for completed files. Since the SAB permissions field was left blank, SAB defaulted to applying the most restrictive permissions for completed folders, and therefore SB got Errno 13 when it attempted to process the folder. Now, with 777 in the field, all is well and I am happy to report that Zeb’s SB works with Merty’s SAB with no problem.
#49 | Written by George L about 6 months ago.

I might add that I’m using a DS410j – the machine that changed my life! (for the better)
#50 | Written by xkelly about 6 months ago.

George L: Glad you worked it out. Unfortunately, my SAB has 777 correctly set for the completed folder, so that’s not my issue. Too bad.
