Nope. Just watch it. It will be like you've travelled forward in time w00000000w000000w000000000000000000

What do you use for that huge?

Posted: **Wed Sep 07, 2011 5:38 pm**

NZBMatrix for search into SABnzbd+ on usenet (easynews) can also do torrents. Sick Beard searches for shows that you add, sends to SAB to download then sab runs a sickbeard script to post process (move and rename, download art and nfo etc) and Couch Potato for movies (also does post processing).

can login from anywhere and add shows/movies and check status. do not need to add single eps, it will search for them if you are misssing them or when a new episode comes out. alerts sent to my android and also on a twitter account.

all installed on the synology nas that runs busybox with a few extras (bzip2 par2cmdline unrar unzip zlib git python etc) cron job every hour to reindex the media share so it will show on the WDTV live.

it's amazing. 100% automated. only thing it can't do is read my mind.

pretty nerdy setup tho.

Posted: **Thu Sep 08, 2011 11:24 am**

Ooooh. Will try.

Just bought a NAS box last week.

Posted: **Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:18 pm**

pretty easy, might need some tweaking to get it all to work properly tho. you will need to sign up for usenet service like http://www.easynews.com or http://www.astraweb.com/. i also use http://nzbmatrix.com/ for the searches.

i'll write down what i did on the synology, it runs busybox and i used ipkg to install some apps, which is the package system it uses. so these instructions might need to be altered for whatever system you run (as long as it's a linux distro!), they can also be setup on windows but you can figure that out yourself.

DISCLAIMER: melbournebeats.com does not condone the downloading of things at all. Also i am not responsible for any damage you might do to your setup.

BEGIN MASSIVE NERDERY!

just install the dependencies first:

Code: Select all

ipkg install bzip2 par2cmdline unrar unzip zlib git

(these enable automatic par and unpacking, and installs git)

Code: Select all

ipkg install py26-cheetah py26-openssl python26

(these are the python apps)

I was also missing the tr binary from coreutils so installed them:

Code: Select all

ipkg install coreutils

then you can:

Code: Select all

ipkg install sabnzbdplus

this is an older version of SAB btw. there is another one (same version) specifically for synology (which i found after installing this one) here http://www.mertymade.com/syno/#sabnzbd

you could also install the newer version straight from sourceforge. up to you tho as this version works fine!

now install sickbeard and couchpotato (install these to wherever you want, i used /opt/local on my nas)

Code: Select all

cd /opt/local
[ -d sickbeard/.git ] || git clone git://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard.git sickbeard
cd sickbeard
git pull

cd /opt/local
[ -d couchpotato/.git ] || git clone git://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotato.git couchpotato
cd couchpotato
git pull

now they need a little bit of customising. i noted that to get the config.ini files to appear you will need to run sickbeard and couch potato at least once. they will generate a whole bunch of files.

so just type:

Code: Select all

/opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/local/couchpotato/CouchPotato.py
/opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/local/sickbeard/SickBeard.py

Also SAB could not find the par2cmdline app so i had to add /opt/bin to the PATH in /etc/rc. this is not the nicest way of fixing it but i couldn't figure out how else to do it with my limited knowledge! Just check to see if SAB complains about no PAR program when you run it before doing that tho.

Next change the default port couchpotato uses:

open the file /opt/local/couchpotato/config.ini using vi or something, look for the [global] header and change the port key to: 9300

Create a startup file to run them as daemons when the nas boots up. mine are located at /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/ but yours could be /etc/init.d.

Code: Select all

cat << EOT > /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S99SABnzbd.sh
#!/bin/sh
if [ "start" = "\$1" ]; then
  /opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini -s 0.0.0.0:9200 -d
  /opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/local/couchpotato/CouchPotato.py --config=/opt/local/couchpotato/config.ini --datadir=/volume1 -d
  /opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/local/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --quiet --port 9400 --config /opt/local/sickbeard/config.ini --datadir=/volume1 --daemon
elif [ "stop" = "\$1" ]; then
  /usr/bin/killall -9 python2.6
elif [ "restart" = "\$1" ]; then
  \$0 stop
  \$0 start
elif [ "" = "\$1" ]; then
  echo "Start, stop or restart service? Use a parameter..."
fi
EOT

Make it executable by added the x bit:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S99SABnzbd.sh

And run it:

Code: Select all

/usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S99SABnzbd.sh start

Now you can connect to them via a web browser and run thru the setup for each one.

http://[your_nas_ip]:9200/ for SABnzbd
http://[your_nas_ip]:9300/ for CouchPotato
http://[your_nas_ip]:9400/ for Sickbeard

As we created the startup script, every time the nas boots SABnzbd and the others will start up as well. You can forward these ports thru your router and use a dynamic DNS service to connect to them from anywhere if you like. might need some extra security tho if you do.

to get SAB to use the sickbeard post processing script you need to add the path to SAB under Folders in the config section. which is (on mine) /opt/local/sickbeard/autoProcessTV

Then, under categories section in SAB, for the TV category chose sabToSickBeard.py as the script.

configure sickbeards post processing section and point it to the tv download location that SAB will put the complete TV downloads in.

SickBeard can sort out your existing shows, just add them to the program, let it scan the folder and see what episodes you have, it will d/l the rest if they are missing, and you can rename the eps so they are all the same according to your settings. it will also show you coming episodes and download them as soon as it finds them. no more waiting till you get home on monday and hanging around for Breaking Bad to d/l. it will start about 1pm and be done when you get home!

you need to do the same in couchpotato, it scans the completed movies folder and autoprocesses by itself so no need to add anything into SAB for this. just set the complete downloads location.

/END MASSIVE NERDERY

see, nothing to it! there's also an app like the other two called https://github.com/rembo10/headphones for music!

boom.

Posted: **Thu Sep 08, 2011 1:21 pm**

Woah, lots of stuff.

Will have a play. I'm using an HP Microserver as my NAS (deal of the century at the moment) with OpenIndiana on it.

Posted: **Thu Sep 08, 2011 2:36 pm**

that will work!

it really is rather easy tho. looks like a lot of stuff, but it isnt.

No, A perfect end to the show would have been Vince getting really high on Crystal and blowing his own brains out, after which Drama loses it, kidnaps Sloan and Eric and puts them in the boot of his car and then drives himself and them head on into a car being driven by Turtle, killing all four. Mean while Ari gets a 3 way with his wife and Dana Gordon (all of which is shown) and then goes down to the office and throws LLoyd out of a 21st storey window who lands on Josh Weinsten killing both instantly.

THAT would be a perfect ending to the show.

Actually a perfect ending to the show is the fact that it is ending. It stopped being good after season 3. Maybe 4. but 5, and especially 6 and double especially 7 and 8 have been terrrible.

Sure.

The whole reason that I (and I know I'm not alone) found the show appealing is that it was male fantasy show. It was about a bunch of guys who got to work extremly infrequently but get paid heaps, and then spend the rest of the time doing what we all want to be doing, which is living lavish lifestyles with our friends having fun all the time, driving expensive cars, sleeping with numerous anonymous hotties, and basically just indulging our every whim. Vince got to have money and girls. Ari said all the things you would like to say to people. Turtle got to sit around getting wasted. Drama was just comedy relief, but rolled together it was great. Eric had, and has, no function whatsoever.

Then the script writers decided to give them problems and concerns and make their lives difficult and so it stopped being interesting. The reason is because if you take away the fantasy lifestyle element all that is left is the characters themselves (who are actually quite boring except for Ari and Drama) and the acting which is bloody terrible (again except for Ari who is brilliant). Eric and Vince are especially terrible, and especially especially Vince, he just gets worse with every season. I didn't think he could get any worse after season 7, but 8 proved me wrong.

PLUS their choices of actresses for the show was woeful, Sloan was ok but her acting in season 6 left a lot to be desired, and then turtles girlfriend in s07, and erics in s06. both massively annoying characters and terrible actresses.

So I feel it had a good run at the start but just turned to pure shite after a while.
