Legacy85 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi All - I am a total noob to all of this - lot of this is going way over my head already... But i am determined to get everything setup ... I read about SickBeard and really want to set it up for automation with something like sabnzbd ... I found this link: https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Setting_Up_SABnzbd,_SickBeard,_and_CouchPotato which was detailed and really cool - I followed the steps but it messed up my flash drive because I guess the files were to old.. So I had to delete the plugins from the flash drive and the Array stopped - Now I am back to Parity-Check in progress .... So is there a guide for SickBeard someone can point me to? Hopefully with Sabnzbd or something similar for automation just for TV shows... Pls and Thank You Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I do not know about a good guide. However I can say that with v6 it is recommended that you use docker containers rather than plugins for adding this sort of functionality. Quote Link to comment

SpaceInvaderOne Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Install the community applications plugin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/community.applications/master/plugins/community.applications.plg This will make docker install easier as you dont need to add repositories. Then you will find dockers for sickbeard ,sabnzbd and many others Quote Link to comment
unevent Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Suggest Sonarr over Sickbeard since no scripts are required for automation with sab. Using a 'verified' plugin or a Docker makes no difference so choose what you are comfortable working with. There is one plugin vs probably a half dozen Dockers that supposedly are the same, but each different in some way. Quote Link to comment

GFOviedo Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Check my guide http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44482.0 The guide link doesn't work anymore. Any other guides available? I've been searching for a few days now. Quote Link to comment

Any other guides available? I've been searching for a few days now. If your question is about setting up the script for Sickbeard to work with Sab, might I suggest trying out Sonarr. Sonarr will not need a script to work with Sab as it will interact using Sab's API and the category setting. Quote Link to comment

Sonarr will not need a script to work with Sab as it will interact using Sab's API and the category setting. I usually do all the TV Shows download by hand. However, I am trying to set something up where this gets down automatically. A friend of mine advised me to use sickbeard, Sab and couchpotato to accomplish this. So, I've been trying to find a "HOW TO" thread for a newbie, but it appears this doesn't exist. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 There are two parts to what you're trying to do: [*]Install the relevant apps on Unraid - Either docker/plugin [*]How to use said apps - That is not an Unraid thing per se, more of a general thing and here is not necessarily the right place to support this, but rather the apps support forums. There is no guide to taking you from not having a clue to a fully working setup that I know of. At the moment focus on number 1 then you can work on number 2. There is lots of information around on how to do the first. Look in trurl's signature for tips on how to search. Quote Link to comment

GFOviedo Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thank you guys. I'll give the guides a read and then try it out. I had to do a trial and error with Plex as well. Also, I've install the "Community Application" plugin. Can I use install the Sonarr and Sickbeard from that instead? Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Community Applications is the only way I'd recommend anyone installs anything nowadays. All the content is available for install via other means, but CA makes it incredibly easy to find and install dockers/plugins. Squid put a lot of work into getting this up and running, and it's been a huge improvement on the old ways. Quote Link to comment

I've noticed that there are some plugins that repeat themselves with different Authors, (for example sickbeard by Phaze, needo, linuxserver). How do you know, which one is the best updated version to download/install? Quote Link to comment

How do you know, which one is the best updated version to download/install? Best bet is to look at the support threads and see which ones you're most comfortable with. Myself, I would go with either linuxserver.io or binhex Barring that, you second best bet would be to ask this: Quote Link to comment
