The links on the OP are down due to lapsed hosting. The plug-ins those linked to are outdated anyway.

 

couchpotato_v2.plg

sickbeard_mod.plg

sabnzbd_hardcoded.plg

 

The sab plugin is temporary until a proper fix for the url is made.

 

finally ! thx a lot !

someone should adjust first post

Need a mod to do that. Changes will be made soon,  ;)

thx ! way to go!

installing sab right now :)

Some noob questions now

install beta/rc versions : what do you guys set here? best "no" right?

install directory... should this be on the cache or flash?

data directory, do i click this on? if yes, the same directory as install directory?

 

Back on my windows box, I used to have a script in Sabnzbd that would auto-join AVI files ( cd1/2 ) etc

 

is there such a script available for unraid?

 

I know there's - http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4500&start=45

 

but it's relying on dependence's and being a unraid noob, i have no idea what im supposed to do to install them :)

Again, will state for everyone - best possible scenario is using a cache drive, install AND data dir on cache drive - this drive is outside of the array so you will not have hangs on array startup/shutdown

 

Myk

 

 

So, I only installed couchpotato about a week and a half ago (pre-fallout), but I get issues where the array does not start properly (constant "starting..." message). Anyway, sab an sick (non plugin) start up fine, couchpotato does not. If I disable the cp plugin and re-enable, it seems to work, but it also seemed to forget my library settings, and either way, this is far from desirable. Any advice?

 

(status of CP is "Status: STOPPED")

 

Thanks

 

The way you have Sab and Sickbeard installed starts the plugins after the array has started from the go file, plugins run before the go file and sometimes it happens before the array can start. This creates the /mnt/user directory, so when the array tries to start the directory exists, causing your issue. Try changing your directory from /mnt/user to /mnt/diskx with diskx being the actual disk your directories exist on. This should work around the problem until a proper fix can be put in place

Thanks for the swift response.

 

My settings were install directory in : usr/local and my data directory in  /mnt/cache/.custom/yadayada.

 

I would've assumed that these directories wouldn't suffer the issue you mention, but I'm giving it a bash with an install directory on the cache drive.

 

Thanks again

Is there a way to set my ipad dropbox folder as watched folder for sab?

Is there a way to set my ipad dropbox folder as watched folder for sab?

 

I don't use dropbox myself (& am new to UnRAID), so not sure how well this will work, but it might get you started in the right direction...

 

Some quick searching for a script that would move files from Dropbox to the desktop turned this up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1908494

 

You could try modifying OverDarkTM's script to move the files to your unRAID server, then setup a cron job to run the script every 10 minutes (or as often as you choose).

 

To run /boot/custom/dropmove.sh every 10 minutes, edit cron with:

crontab -e

then add this line at the end:

*/10 * * * * /boot/custom/dropmove.sh

Some noob questions now

install beta/rc versions : what do you guys set here? best "no" right?

install directory... should this be on the cache or flash?

data directory, do i click this on? if yes, the same directory as install directory?

 

Install Beta/rc, if there is a new feature or fix in a beta build or rc, set to yes, if not, set to no. Note right now this setting does nothing, because of issues with sourceforge I hardcoded the download URL so the plug-in would atleast work. Once the sourceforge problems are straightened out or an alternate method is figured out, this will change.

 

Install directory should be in ram, or on cache/array. As stated by MyKroft, if on array it can possibly cause issues with the array starting. In ram it is destroyed on reboot/powerdown and will be reinstalled on startup. This is fine, and how I use it, but if a url is down for some reason, it will of course fail to install, leaving sab non-functional on your system until the url is fixed or you manually install. If installed on cache, it will be persistent and only need to be redownloaded if a new version is released.

 

Data directory: If not checked, it defaults to whatever you set your install directory to. If this is on the cache drive, or an array drive, this is fine(still note the problem with install directory on array). If you have UNraid Plus or Pro, I suggest using the cache drive. Do NOT use the flash drive, or else you'll be buying a new flash before long at all, and contacting lime-tech for a new key for unraid.

I'll try and see what I can find, dependencies require either finding a pre-compiled package for slackware 13.1 or compiling one yourself.

WW has a dropbox plug-in, never used it but you could use it and set the watched folder as your dropbox folder, in theory atleast. I see no reason why it wouldn't work. You can also do as lainie suggests and use a mover script to move .nzb files from your dropbox to unraid. If you do this you need to put the script on the flash drive or another disk on unraid, add the cron job, and also add a line to your go file to add the cron on boot, otherwise you'll have to re-add the cron manually everytime you reboot the server(hopefully that won't happen often but you never know)

anyone experiencing random stopping of couchpotato v2?  it seems it works for a few days then just stops,  is there a log from CPv2 i should be looking at?

Couchpotato keeps its log in the data directory in a "logs" folder

influencer, trying to install dropbox plugin i get error

dropbox installed, set it all up

I get an error for the watched folder

FOUT:

Altough i can browse to it using windows machine

Is there a place you're hosting these plugins so I can tell if I've got the latest one? I'm using the ones from google code, but you seem to update them in this thread and there's no changelog in them!

 

I also had to add this to start() for sickbeard:

 

   if [[ ! -e "/var/log/sickbeard" ]]; then
        mkdir /var/log/sickbeard
        chown $RUNAS:users /var/log/sickbeard
    fi

 

Or it bombed out with an error that it couldn't write to the log.

 

Good work though!

Right now all hosting is done by WW, all I have done is put fixed in and put tthem.on my dropbox.

 

The reason I removed the changelog is it was redundant. Changelog is basically the commits on github. I plan on having a version number so it is possible to tell.

Hello, Im actually new to unRaid, I've noticed that all links are down.... is it just temp or?...

anyone experiencing random stopping of couchpotato v2?  it seems it works for a few days then just stops,  is there a log from CPv2 i should be looking at?

 

I'm having the same issue. I plan to look into the logs today and see what's going on. I don't use it enough to really notice most of the time.

i see pages and pages of this

 

 

06-30 07:47:56 ERROR [31m[potato.core._base.updater] Failed overwriting file: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link[0m

06-30 07:47:56 ERROR [31m[potato.core._base.updater] Failed overwriting file: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link[0m

 

could this be the issue?

Hmm, might be one if the pages not refreshing on install, so a reboot does seem to be necessary. Sorry for the bad info!

Finally rebooted the server, still hangs at the typical line, but it is working. Web GUI states that it's stopped. *shrugs*

You are right, you shouldn't be suffering from that.... Work all day today but if you don't have results by then we'll try to figure it out.

 

If you have or can have a monitor connected to your server reboot and look at what the console says when booting. It's likely cp is getting an error, just gotta figure out what

I gave it a go shoving both directories on cache, just to see if it'd help... it did not. Will check it with a monitor tonight and report back.

iiimmmmm back  :o week of working away and now trying to remember where i was with all of this .....

 

OK, got everything installed and seemingly working so far with a few exceptions. I used my old downloads of sick and couch and the new influencer hardcode for sab until there is a resolution to the location of latest files

 

Is it right that a prog that is set to "wanted" in sick is then downloaded by sab (seemed to work fine) is then not marked as "downloaded" after completion? it still sits in sick as wanted and you have to change the status yourself manually as that is what just happened. I have tried with a few NZB's in the monitored folder and that also seems to work ok but i got a couple of short films that unpacked as .exe files - dont like to run unknown .exe files but is that normal or do i need to do some other action on them?

 

I also have a season 1 and 2 of a TV show and i cannot access the season 1 folder as i get access denied, i looked in MC and can see that permissions are wrong, its showing 700 for the folder and 600 for the episodes, the season 2 folder is showing 755 and 666. i have tried everything i know to change the ownership - which in my case is a few minutes, with no joy. Does the info below from putty tell you what is happening and what i need to do?

 

root@Backupsvr:/# chmod 755 /mnt/cache/complete files/silk/ series 1

chmod: cannot access `/mnt/cache/complete': No such file or directory

chmod: cannot access `files/silk/': No such file or directory

chmod: cannot access `series': No such file or directory

chmod: cannot access `1': No such file or directory

root@Backupsvr:/#

 

If i try to do anything with a folder after /cache i always get no such file or directory, tried with /. tried no spaces .......  ?

 

As always, thanks

The power went out the other night, and ever since then I've been having troubles.  First sickbeard couchpotato and sab wouldn't start.  They would cause the server to hang.  So i got the latest files from github and installed them.  Now however it says none of them are installed, and when i press the install button nothing happens.  And when I change the settings then hit enable, the page hangs.  So when I refresh all the settings i changed go back to their defaults and its not running.
