July 19, 201114 yr Hi I just had a quick question i have just started to understand newsgroups etc.. and have come accross sab, sick and couch. it all looks very good and i ant wait to get started i have installed everything and the wiki was really good, however in the wiki there are some screenshots and i found a couple of little bits that were either wrong or didnt show up on my setup. first of all as i was going through the wizard and i didnt get the select theme part and then once the wizard was finished the screenshot in the wiki shows lots of categories but when i go into mine there are no categories showing except 2 lines one the default and another blank one is this something i have to set up from scratch. I just assumed from the screenshot in the wiki there were lots of categories and i didnt see them. Is this correct. Thanks, R PS still trying to get my head round how to set it up does anyone know if there is a better guide somewhere one for dummies??
July 20, 201114 yr Hey, it sounds like you have the app installed which is good, you may have more success looking on the sabnzbd forum for setting up the options of the program. I am at work current and don't have access to my unraid box I'll have a look later when I get back home and see if i can help explain it for you.
July 20, 201114 yr Author Hi Thomas. Thanks for the response in the end I have just created a new category called tvshows and it all seems to be working ok. Oh something else weird happened with couchpotato this time I was trying to add a movie but it wouldn't work then I realised what the problem was because I use a netbook I couldn't see the add button so I had to zoom out and there it was anyway thanks
July 24, 201114 yr hi raakesh, since uve instealled sab on ur unraid, could you explain to me how to edit the go script? where it is? how to do it? what programs to use to edit it? thank you/
July 24, 201114 yr hi raakesh, since uve instealled sab on ur unraid, could you explain to me how to edit the go script? where it is? how to do it? what programs to use to edit it? thank you/ it is on the flash drive in the config folder, you can use notepad or the like for the go script, You can try installing everything via unMenu with the packages I just posted here. I only have SABnzb set up right now, but I am working on the other packages.

I only have SABnzb set up right now, but I am working on the other packages. thank you man. I will definitley give this a try. Do you install them in the order you've uploaded them? I am interested in learning a bit about this stuff though as well so I'm willing to do it a bit the hard way. im also confused on how to install a drive to unraid without it being apart of the array on the basic OS (i cant afford plus ATM). i heard running sab/couch etc. off a cache or drive off the array is better for the system.
July 24, 201114 yr thank you man. I will definitley give this a try. Do you install them in the order you've uploaded them? I am interested in learning a bit about this stuff though as well so I'm willing to do it a bit the hard way. Just follow the directions in the thread I linked to. The main SABnzbd package will instructed you to download/install what needs to be downloaded/installed. im also confused on how to install a drive to unraid without it being apart of the array on the basic OS (i cant afford plus ATM). i heard running sab/couch etc. off a cache or drive off the array is better for the system. Do some searching on the forum. There are a number of threads discussing how to do this (here is one of them) so do some searching and reading on the subject.
July 24, 201114 yr Thanks for your help. I just read the link you provided and it didn't help detailing how a non-array drive interacts with the array or how to install programs to that drive. This is the closest thread I've found to what I want (and I think I've selected the wrong thread): http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5904.0 I'll keep searching though. I think I'm leaning towards the 'Install Python based servers' tutorial simply because as far as I can tell, it will install everything at once (sab/CP/etc.). My main problem is knowing what is an install directory etc. and pointing the commands to where to install. The fact the guide is written with only reference to the cache drive is a bit confusing for me. For example, saying I have to edit a file on a flash drive... does that mean powering down my unraid server, taking out the flash drive, inserting it into another PC and then editting the files, then putting it back in and seeing if changes take affect?

No you can edit that file while the machine is running, but anything you put in there will not take effect until you restart the machine.
July 24, 201114 yr Thanks. How would I do that? Sorry, this is an example of how much of a novice I am with some of this stuff. also if I were to follow: What would I replace "cd /mnt/cache" with.. will mnt/ be available for my non-assigned drive to the array? And what would I write instead of this: "# determine if cache drive online, retry upto 7 times for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 do if [ ! -d /mnt/cache ] then sleep 15 fi done # If Cache drive is online, start SABnzbd, Sickbeard, and CouchPotato if [ -d /mnt/cache ]; then cd /mnt/cache/.custom installpkg /boot/packages/SABnzbdDependencies-2.1-i486-unRAID.tgz python /mnt/cache/.custom/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d python /mnt/cache/.custom/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --daemon python /mnt/cache/.custom/couchpotato/CouchPotato.py -d fi"

If you want a drive outside of you array you are going to have to mount it yourself, hence the link to the other thread. This part: /mnt/cache/.custom/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d in you example above is just the path to where sabnzbd is installed. /mnt/cache is the cache drive, .custom is a folder, sabnzbd is another folder, and then SABnzbd.py is the application that is being started.
