fortytwo Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Hey guys, I use unRaid for my media server but my box is too big and loud so I don't keep it on all the time. Because of this, I have a separate machine that I use for my sabnzbd/sickbeard/couchpotato setup. What I'd like to do is, after sabnzbd/sickbeard/couchpotato have finished downloading a file, a post-processing script moves the file over to unRaid and then updates my XBMC box to do a library update...this way I can finally be 100% girlfriend compliant From a scripting perspective, what is the most reliable way to copy over to unRaid? I use nautilus/samba when I do it manually and I get a samba timeout frequently so I usually have to re-do it a couple of times--would love to be able to avoid that in the script. Any suggestions? Are there any existing scripts like this, am I reinventing the wheel? Thanks
brian89gp Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Put your sickbeard/couchpotato media locations onto unRAID shares and mount them. The mover scripts in those two apps do what you are wanting and work well. The complete/incomplete drives would stay local to your sabnzbd server for speed purposes. Since all 3 apps are local to the same server it is pretty easy to set up. unraid server shares \\tower\movies \\tower\tv linux dl machine drives/mounts / = HDD #1 /mount/incomplete = HDD #2 for sabnzbd incomplete /mount/complete = HDD #3 for sabnzbd complete /mount/movies = smb mount to \\tower\movies /mount/tv = smb mount to \\tower\tv sickbeard post-processing script will move from /mount/complete to /mount/tv and couchpotato's mover script will move from /mount/complete to /mount/movies
fortytwo Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Excellent idea, brian89gp! I'll have to add some stuff to wake up the unRaid machine and do the mount, though. I'll take a look if there's a hook to do that in sickbeard/couchpotato.
