Download Sick Beard build 507 alpha

A new build of Sick Beard has been released. This program can keep an eye on when new episodes of your favorite TV series are available and if there are better quality episodes available. In addition, it can bring some uniformity in the naming, and it is possible to download episodes from usenet and to a lesser extent via bittorrent. The program is written in Python and can therefore be used on various operating systems. There is not yet a separate Windows download, but the program can be updated internally. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changelog for build 507:

• Misc logging tweaks, sort shows (same way as do in the gui) before starting backlog. pull #896
• Fix progress bar on homepage from including snatched episodes in download count. pull #894

  • OMGWTFNZB: Use delay param (item post age must be older than 30mins before it shows up on rss) to help deal with recent propagation issues.
  • Cleanup how we build our show name list to filter out duplicates that only differ by case (help reduce erroneous api hits)
  • Don’t append . if the search string is empty as it would result in an extra period on show name searches (purely cosmetic)
  • OMGWTFNZB & womble: Convert _ to . in release names to fix releases getting rejected by invalid show name (ex: FoV releases).
  • OMGWTFNZB: Skip nuked releases on backlog search.

  • Add hack for the show ‘A to Z’ to not ignore the article when sorting.
• Update history to store provider type as source. pull #873 #884
  • Add source to history (nzb/torrent) to store the provider type.
  • Improve filter on history to handle accented characters, use extracted provider image title rather than relying on the text (keep column width down), and specify some column widths.
• Add ability to skip notices (snatched/download notifications) per show. pull #867
  Useful for those that fetch shows for their significant others that don’t care to get the notification noise.
  Or if you want to disable briefly to backlog a show.

  • Add ‘expand all shows’ button

    • Include specials (season0) – before we always excluded
    • Exclude episodes without an airdate (not unaired, but airdate of ‘never’) – before we always included

• Cleanup history and fix specials to cleanup and restore data due to previous bugs. pull #865
