December 9, 201213 yr Hello. Just wondering if anyone had problem installing sickbeard lately? Upon installation, it doesn't seem to finish. But when I access the ip/port number, it's not working. Tried different ports, still the same
December 9, 201213 yr Not sure if anyone heard but nzbmatrix closed up shop today. Any ideas on good alternatives? Advise on a workaround plan would be much appreciated.
December 9, 201213 yr Hello. Just wondering if anyone had problem installing sickbeard lately? Upon installation, it doesn't seem to finish. But when I access the ip/port number, it's not working. Tried different ports, still the same a look at the logfiles (syslog, and sickbeard logs) would help i can't say, that i had any problems lately, but haven't especially tested today...
December 10, 201213 yr I have a couple of different issues going on with transmission....The 1st issue is transmission keeps crashing. Dec 9 21:43:57 Tower kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 25564 (transmission-da) score 8 or sacrifice child Dec 9 21:43:57 Tower kernel: Killed process 25564 (transmission-da) total-vm:52748kB, anon-rss:14412kB, file-rss:2268kB If I log into transmission quickly and pause ALL torrents it will stay running however as soon as I start a couple it crashes. The system has 2gig of memory and this is the only plugin I run on the server with the exception of simple features layout. With that said there also only 8 torrents in total on the box. I have read on the transmission forum I need to limit the cache size. Which leads me to problem #2 I edit the settings.json file the changes are only valid until I restart transmission. Any changes done through the gui also don't seem save either and vanish after restart. Transmission settings within unraid: /mnt/disk1/torrents/data I have tried different things with the users from nobody, root and the user josh all have the same results.
December 10, 201213 yr I can't seem to search well, anyone have a solution to torrents being lost when Transmission is restarted? The files are still there, but it looks like Transmission has lost the torrent info.
December 10, 201213 yr Thanks to Influencer and Benni-Chan for their plugins, I now have a system up and running with Sickbeard and Sabnzbd. For any interested, here's my setup. Basic UnRaid, with two SATA data drives (Disk1 and Disk2). 1 x 160Gig IDE drive with two partitions. Partition 1 5Gb, set as UnRaid for booting. Partition 2 remaining 150Gig formatted Reiserfs and with Benni-Chan's drive_mount.plg, this is mounted as /mnt/apps Sickbeard and Sabnzbd plugins from Influencer located at /mnt/apps/.custom/sickbeard and /mnt/apps/.custom/sabndbd @Influencer. Only issue I had was your plugin created .custom with root:root, so I had to manually chown nobody:users /mnt/apps/.custom. Not sure if it was Sabnzdb or Sickbeard plugin, but I ran Sabnzdb plugin first, so it created the .custom folder on installation. My tower boots perfectly and data is persistent. Just wanted to post this setup incase anyone else is in a similar boat, without a cache drive. And If asking why a hard drive instead of a USB Flash Drive, very fast boot time! as well as not ready to upgrade to more hard drives right now.
December 10, 201213 yr Author Is your data directory specified as .custom or is it a subdirectory? Example: /mnt/apps/.custom or /mnt/apps/.custom/sabnzbd/ /mnt/apps/.custom/sickbeard The plug-in creates the "sabnzbd" and "sickbeard" directories using -p which creates all upper level folders if they don't exist. So if you specified .custom/sabnzbd and .custom didn't exist at the time, it would be created in the process and is created with root permissions by default. The plug-in then chmods the end directories, in this example the "sabnzbd" and "sickbeard" directories, and not the entire path for security reasons.
December 10, 201213 yr You can scratch my problem. Today it's working flawlessly and I was able to modify the file and have it stay.

The files are still there, but it looks like Transmission has lost the torrent info. Sounds like your data folder is on your flash drive save it to a /mnt/disk1/some/folder/you/want.
December 11, 201213 yr Author Sorry josh, didn't see your post sooner. The reason your settings would revert when you restart is because transmission reads the config to ram and saves it to disk when shutting down. Your changes were being written but when transmission shut down it would overwrite the changes with the old config. You must stop transmission before changing the config.
December 11, 201213 yr It is setup as a cache only directory: /mnt/cache/AppData/Transmission I have the following sub folders: incomplete (Torrents in the process of downloading) downlaods (Where files get moved when finished) process (Where SB watches for new files) resume torrents watch (My watch directory) settings.json and stats.json show up in the directory I also have a post-processing script setup that does the following: 1> Check the torrent to see if it is from my TV torrent site 2> If not, ignore 3> If it is, create a hard-link to the process directory where SB processes it then removes the link The reason I set that up was to allow me to continue seeding the torrent without having SB try to post-process it over and over and over. I'm not sure what is going on, Transmission sees the torrents in the watch-dir: ec 10 19:26:08 Storage transmission-daemon[13233]: Found new .torrent file "Warehouse.13.S01.720p.HDTV.x264.torrent" in watchdir "/mnt/cache/AppData/Transmission/watch" (watch.c:92) Edit: Nope, not showing up via transmission-remote either: # transmission-remote localhost:8084 -n USERNAME:PASSWORD -l ID Done Have ETA Up Down Ratio Status Name Sum: None 0.0 0.0

The plug-in then chmods the end directories, in this example the "sabnzbd" and "sickbeard" directories, and not the entire path for security reasons. Drive mounted as apps, and in plugin I set install directory to /mnt/apps/.custom/sabnzbd, so the plugin created .custom and then .custom/sabnzbd. It's no biggy, easily corrected ( now I've learnt more linux command line functions. LOL)

It's no biggy, easily corrected ( now I've learnt more linux command line functions. LOL) Like I said, for security reasons we only modify the permissions and owner of the end directory, basically if a user decided to make their data directory /usr/sabnzbd or something, if we chmod the entire path we change permissions that will royally screw up the OS(atleast until you reboot ). So its easier and safer to only modify the directory we are working with as we know what it is,
December 11, 201213 yr Author Influencer..... did you ever get a chance to look at my PM? Myk Just replied a few minutes ago, sorry it took so long! I must've cleared the notification from tapatalk without realizing it!
December 11, 201213 yr Having a strange problem. Been using sabnzbd + sickbeard for a while now and everything worked great. Tonight i came home and my web gui was unresponsive. I managed to stop the array and restart. Once I start the array, the web gui hangs again until i kill the sabnzbd processes. This happened a few time. So i removed sabnzbd and booted without it, all was fine, array starts just fine. So i tried to reinstall sabnzbd again and my web gui hung again and all I have on the settings page for sabnzbd is "Installing latest version of SABnzbd..." and it just sits there. Any ideas?

Any ideas? +1 for me Started unraid this morning Webgui is unresponsive and not reachable... Restarted, same problem Then i took my monitor, and attached it to unraid machine.. Rebooted.. Now i could see startup process.. Everything ok... Until i see message .. Installing latest version of sabnzbd It just sits there and wait, i cant even reach the webgui tot stop the process... What should i do? Cant use unraid now
December 11, 201213 yr How do i stop it through telnet? It seems i can telnet in This is kinda urgent
December 11, 201213 yr Strange, after waiting +- 30 min, i dunno havent looked at watch, it seems it becomes responsive again ! Just wait very long max 1 hour it will become responsive again, guess it needs time edit: however , now that i can access gui again, i went into sabnzb page , and it says "not installed" before i click install again i'll wait for influencer's update or the whole thing comes unresponsive again
December 11, 201213 yr it looks like you have trouble downloading the latest release (at least that would be my first guess). i just checked the link and it worked. maybe sourceforge had some trouble earlier... (please try again now) if you still have trouble installling sabnzbd, we will do some more checking... (i'm currently at work, so i can't check myself)
