Minor feature request: a link from the unraid GUI (preferably simplefeatures) to the sab/sick/etc webgui. Based on the plugin settings, it should know what the URLs are (or you could enter them manually). Could be located under the "utils" tab or simply within each plugin's settings page.

 

Would save the trouble of bookmarking them all and make it all feel more integrated. I suppose maraschino does this to an extent.

 

Its already been implemented. Click on the green "Running" in the status. It is this way for all of my plug-ins,

Sweet! Thanks!

 

@zoltran, Can you send your syslog? I doubt it will provide me with any good information but it might. When you say you can see the messsages at boot time are you looking at a console connected to your server? If so can you tell me the messages it provided for sickbeard?

 

Hi 

Syslog is 200K and can't be posted here.  I can email if you wish.

 

Yes, I'm looking at the console during boot.

You can see  the Sickbeard start msg.

There is a delay while it counts out 1..2..3..4 etc and finally errors with 'sickbeard.pid not created for some reason' 

I looked at var/run/sickbeard and there isn't any pid file ..

My guess is it's trying to shutdown any existing process, doesn't see a pid file because there isn't any running task.. and gets confused. 

 

As mentioned .. it does start fine from the gui after the system is up.

 

no, its not looking to stop any processes, its waiting and checking for the pid before giving up after 10 tries.

 

When you restart, before you manually press start on the gui, run this:

 

ls -l /usr/local/sickbeard

 

Also, you can e-mail me the syslog. I'll pm my e-mail.

Watch-dir should work, I'll test it out here and see. What did you put as your watch-dir? Also make sure the watch-dir can be accessed by transmission, you'll need to check the permissions for the directory.

 

EDIT: Just tested, the setting works fine(presuming the directory is read/write accessible to transmission)

 

One thing to watch, if you are adding the settings to the end of the file, make sure that all lines before the last line have a comma after them. If not transmission will not start.

 

Example:

    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": false, 
    "scrape-paused-torrents-enabled": true, 
    "script-torrent-done-enabled": false, 
    "script-torrent-done-filename": "", 
    "seed-queue-enabled": false, 
    "seed-queue-size": 10, 
    "speed-limit-down": 100, 
    "speed-limit-down-enabled": false, 
    "speed-limit-up": 100, 
    "speed-limit-up-enabled": false, 
    "start-added-torrents": true, 
    "trash-original-torrent-files": false, 
    "umask": 18, 
    "upload-slots-per-torrent": 14, 
    "utp-enabled": true,
    "watch-dir": "/mnt/cache/apps/transmission/watch/", 
    "watch-dir-enabled": true

 

Ah, thanks ( again!!) I'll have a look when i get home from work. The directory might have been the issue, and also I was putting a comma after the last line, not leaving it blank as above!

 

Not sure if its worth metioning, but was wondering if youd had ever looking into a plugin for a File Manager or such?! After the ease of use of Maraschino and the awesome GUI it would be brilliant to either have a module to access / view files or a dedicated plugin? Know its been talked of a lot and the main issue being server security but thought id see what your ( and the forum in general) view on it was!

Is the in-plugin update app working for Mylar?  I've tried updating Mylar from the plugin settings page but all it seems to do is restart Mylar.  I've tried clicking the update while Mylar is running and then I've tried shutting off Mylar and then clicking on the update button.  But both time it just restarts Mylar with the original install.

 

Do I need to restart the server?  But when I update the other apps (SAB, sick, and couch) that is not necessary.

I'll look at it. Haven't had a chance to test the update yet.

Hi Influencer - kind of a request to you or to someone who could support you. I use some of your plg's and see now you have others but it is hard to find what these others do, are they relevant, a screen shot or two? and chance of an update to the wiki or some added notes to say what is the purpose and key features of each one of them. These are the best and most supported plg's at the moment and some kind of documentation to help people decide if they are relevant to their use would be useful if it was in the same place as the plg's or as an add on to the opening post.

 

Just a thought ......

SABnzbd - downloader for nzb's from a usenet group.

transmission - torrent downloader

Sickbeard - sort of a PVR for tv shows to be used with SABnzbd or transmission (I think)

Couchpotato - sort of like Sickbeard but for movies.

Mylar - sort of like Sickbeard but for comic books.

headphones - sort of like Sickbeard but for music.

htpcmanager/maraschino - from what I gather is just a way to view SAB, Sick, Couch, maybe others on one page.

darkstat - from a quick google search, it analyzes data usage and network traffic.

Thank you, some i knew, others i did not - hope the request (and the answers of course) helps some others as well. A brief description in the wiki as an introduction before "how to download and install" i think would be agreat place for this kind of info for the future. Not sure if its only influencer who can mod that, maybe a copy and paste?

I'll add it to the wiki, and eroz's explanation is correct.

 

HTPCManager/maraschino are interfaces for viewing/controlling sab/sickbeard/couchpotato. In HTPCManager's case that is basically what it does. Maraschino is more in depth and allows you to set "modules", such as disk space(Handy for unraid), now playing(XBMC), recently added(XBMC), among other functions.

I mainly use couchpotato as a renamer/mover for stuff, but for some reason as of a few days ago it is no longer finding stuff that is in its watched folder. Any ideas on pointing me in the right direction to fix this? It is almost like it is not searching but the option is set up in the settings.

 

thanks

I don't use couchpotato much at all, so I'm not 100% on how to address this, if someone else more knowledgable with CP has an idea please do chime in.

 

First I would check the couchpotato logs for any clues on this, look for when it checks the watched folder. I'd also check permissions of the watched folder to make sure it is accessible. Possibly temporarily give all users full permissions to rule out a permissions issue.

The issue with cp has to do with timestamps iirc. I had this problem and it would only scan if i restarted cp. I also read that deleting some files and updating could fix this so I got the latest development from git and copied my settings to that one. Fixed that for me. Not sure if the devel has some fixes over the master branch, but at least this works for me now.

it is set to check the folder every 5 mins but I see nothing in the logs as if it is not even trying. I believe the folder is alright as other plugins are able to interact with it just fine and every plugin is using the same 'nobody' user.

Have you tried restarting CP? There seems to of been an issue recently with the watch dir, users said it started working after restarting CP, others said they had to remove the install and re-install for it to work.

I am guessing this is the issue https://couchpota.to/forum/showthread.php?tid=604&pid=2134#pid2134 as Steini84 said so its a CP issue. Thanks for the help

Yes, but the issue should have been fixed. You can see in that thread the ways some users had success with fixing it.

you are right, I copied the two new files into my install and it doesn't fix the issue.

FYI - i tried setting "enable sabnzbd" to "no" prior to my last shutdown. At the same time, I also enabled auto-start for the array. On the next boot, everything started properly, including sabnzbd despite being "disabled." (the enabled:no setting did stick). Not sure what to say, but on at least one attempt, it's working!

That bug must've crept back in, should have the fix out tomorrow.

posted on the couchpotato forums and found out it is due to manual downloading and there is a fix in the next version so I just have to wait. Thanks again for your plugins and your help Influencer

Watched foldered works a charm!

 

Hope you didn't think I was thread hacking about the file browser... It's just I don't know any web based browsers and wasn't sure if you would be interested!

Ok, so at first i successfully installed sickbeard. i had to change the directory to the main disk which was what you recommended against, so i deleted and started again because of a few reasons, another including it was running as root.

 

I was going to just use the default install path like you recommend /usr/local/sickbeard and then have the data directory on another folder on my disk drive, set the user to nobody ect.. like you recommend. Now everytime i install the .plg and then go to the sickbeard option in settings and configure everything then click 'install' this is all i get.

 

Installing latest version of SickBeard...

Cloning into Sick-Beard...

... OK

 

and then nothing. the status just stays as 'Not Installed'. i've tried basically everything i can think of and tried a hell of alot of searching, but still nothing, it just refuses to download and install the files, no matter what i do. Does anyone know how to resolve my issue. I've even gone as far as a fresh install of unraid. but i still get the exact same problem.

Pming you with debug version

 

EDIT: nevermind, will have to do it when I get home, can't send pm right now.

 

Also, in the near future I hope to get the debug in with the regular plugin so it will be easier to provide help. For a couple of the plugins you will have to manually set the debug flag in the config due to limitations with how the form is passed. Hope to get that resolved in the future as well.
