Download Sick Beard build 505 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 505:

• Post Processor tweaks
  • Ignores folders that start with _unpack or _UNPACK
  • If unable to figure out the quality from the filename, fallback to the episode (snatched) status
  • Other minor fixes fixes to logging / when checks are applied. commit 96d64e
• Cleanup release names and release group for releases, also fix the re-scan process from overwriting existing stored release_name so that we keep the original cleaned up release in tact.
  • Remove non-release group from release group such as RP and NZBGEEK
  • Remove known media extensions .avi, .mkv, .mp4, etc and download extensions like .nzb, .torrent from release name
• Change Roman numerals conversion (PR-589)
  Before we only had hard-coded tests up to number 29, this should be a bit more robust br
• Change our scheduled tasks to use delay start instead of just kicking off immediately to let SB finish it’s start-up routines. Also silent logging until the actual routine is ran, prevent erroneous logging when we were just checking to see if it was time to actually start the scheduled task.
  • We delay the currentSearch (rss) by 5 mins
  • We delay the autoPostProcesser by 5 mins
  • We delay the backlogSearch (limited/full) by 17 mins
  • We delay the properFinder/showUpdate by 1 cycle (1hr)

  This overall should help let slower NAS systems finish updating / spin up drives / establish network connectivity before SB starts its logic. bro

• Change SB’s git/source update routine to hopefully resolve the bug on updating if you were more than 100 commits behind.
• Cleanup Notifier code. pull #814 #823 #832
  • Safeguard notifiers from affecting the post-processing routine, catch and log exceptions.
  • Added notification support for Synology (notifies Synology DSM) and migrate settings

  • Cleaned up logging entries, trying to standardize on what level we report and verbiage (not using contractions, prune out duplicate/excessive entries)
  • Add Always On option for XBMC to control if sb should suppress errors when XBMC is offline or not.
  • Add logic to notifiers js to catch empty required fields to prevent unneeded testing calls.
  • Mention sending notices to Plex Home Theater (PHT), to use XBMC (since it mimics xbmc’s json api) but with port 3005.
• Update tvdb_api to latest. pull #820
• NZBGet update. pull #821
  • Ported Prinz23’s NZBGet 9+ appendurl + dupecheck/dupescore code from mr-orange’s branch.
  • Fix username:password containing special characters.
• Tweaked regex to filter out more subbed releases in case the indexer did not assign them to the foreign category. ex: Bates.Motel.S02E07.REAL.PROPER.HDTV.XviD.HebSubs-DR
• Added webm to supported media extensions.
• Update rawHD to support releases like Veep.S03E02.1080p.HDTV.DD5.1.H.264-NorTV. pull #826
• Update local js for jquery 1.9.x compatibility and tweak browser.js. pull #824
  • Added hack that allows users to specify serverpath for a location and we load this as the initialDir browse path instead of previously saved value.
  • Set current path to what path we actually did load, in case the previous directory was not valid (we load parent folder instead)
• Upgrade several js libs to fix IE related issues or to prepare for upcoming jquery upgrade.
  • Upgrade table sorter 2.14 -> 2.16.3. pull #827
  • Upgrade jquery.form 3.35 -> 3.50 Pull #825
    • Fixed Config > Post Processing page not using ajaxForm.
• Updated SB-Update message and the Config > Help & Info page to reflect binary builds are now on GitHub instead of GoogleCode.
