Its the bash script 'episodebutler'. If it isn't executable, try chmod +x episodebutler. If the file is missing, the content is:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
cd `dirname $0`
if [ -n "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then
  $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=log/logging.properties -jar ./episodebutler.jar $*
else
  java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=log/logging.properties -jar ./episodebutler.jar $*
fi
cd $OLDPWD

A oke I see.

Working now.

have it running in background now : ./episodebutler &

What does the quality mean ?

Low / Medium / High , what is it compared to on newzbin ?

[Janoz]

Yesterday I finally uploaded a new version. I've been busy lately with a project with a little higher priority (I'm becoming a dead in 6 weeks) but found some spare development time to crunch out a new version. I fixed some bugs and added some features but the biggest change is this:

You can now add your own series!

Just type in the name and verify if the right show is fetched from TVRage.

@rascalli: Quality is the size of the file. When you take a show fitting a 'time slot' of an hour (like prison break and Lost)Low is the 400MB version, medium is the 800MB version and high is the 1200MB version.

Hi Janoz,

i really like the Butler, thanks for the great App!
I hope you will still work on it when your child is sleeping

Some Questions and Suggestions:
I set SAB to create Category-Folders so my Series go to "X:\DOWN\TV\Series - 1x03 - Whatever" when i reference a newzbin ReportID.
But the downloads that get started by the Butler go to "X:\DOWN\Series - 1x03 - Whatever".
Do you feed SAB a .nzb File? Because if SAB does not get the .nzb from newzbin itself it cant know which category it belongs to. So i guess that if you reference the ReportID and SAB retrieves the .nzb itslef that it could work.

I also use the SABnzbd Status Plugin for Firefox which downloads into the Categories.


I would find it interessting to see the Airdate of the next Episode in the Overview, so i dont have to look into each one to find out when i get new stuff

What does the "Length" mean as property of a Series?

Thanks
  Rag

Although she is claiming a lot of my spare time, I hope still have some developing hours left ..

The Episodebutler indeed downloads the nzb from newzbin and passes it to SAB. I did it that way because accepting reportId's isn't always turned on. I'll add passing reportId's instead of nzb files to the wanted features list.

That is also a nice feature. I'll add that aswell. I'm still thinking about what to put on the startingpage of the episode butler. I just recently added the logmessages. If you have more idea's of what to put on the starting page, do not hesitate to ask!

What does the "Length" mean as property of a Series?

Length is the duration/runtime of an episode. It's in minutes. It is not realy the length of the episode itself, but more the length of the timeslot. PrisonBreak is 60 minutes while Entourage is 30. This is used to determine the expected filesize in the search. A 60 minute show in 'medium' quality is around 800mb.

[ragnar]

Happy to hear that you are keeping the project up and that suggestions are welcome.
Ok, i just set the length of my series. (i prefer the low size versions)
One more suggestion would be a button to manually trigger the scan on tvrage/newzbin or maybe a config value for the delay between the scans. But that's verry low prio.
I'll try hard to think of some usefull additions.

If you prefer the low size versions, just set the quality to 'low'.

You can fetch the tvrage information by pressing the 'fetch next' link on the episodes screen, but that is just for one show. I'll think about adding the interval configuration, i don't want to overwhelm the config file with options and think the current settings work fine, at least for me. I'll think about it!

I did, but I got a 'brrlbllbllb' as a reply ..

I've got one more.
The downloads get added to SAB with "Delete" but i'd prefer "Delete+Script" if possible.

I am not familiar with that option. Which version of sabnzbd are you using?

Code: [Select]

# Activeness is how much sabnzbd should do:
# 0 : just download
# 1 : Also try to repair
# 2 : Also try to unpack
# 3 : Also try to delete rar files
sabnzbd.activeness = 3
I guess setting this to 4 will fix your problem. To see if it is really 4 you should look in the generated sourcecode of the sabnzbd submit page.

[ragnar]

I'm using SABnzbdPlus Version 3. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbdplus/
They also changed the way you can start downloads etc. They have an API for it now.
Maybe that will make it easier to change it like we talked earilier.

[rascalli]

For sabnzbd+ the options are  :

# Activeness is how much sabnzbd should do:
# 0 : just download
# 1 : Also try to repair
# 2 : Also try to unpack
# 3 : Also try to delete rar files
# 4 : Also try to repair and execute script
# 5 : Also try to unpack and execute script
# 6 : Also try to delete rar files and execute script

So just set the following :

sabnzbd.activeness   = 6
And that should do the trick , as sabnzbd+ knows that 6 = Delete+Scrip

Today I've uploaded version 0.6 of the episode butler. I finally found some spare time to do some updating ..

I added the upcoming and recently downloaded episodes to the overview page as requested by ragnar. These are also made available as rss feeds (handy to integrate in XBMC or another rss reader to quickly see if something is downloaded). Rest of the changes are in the changelog on the download page.

Passing reportId to sabnzbd is still on the todo list however.

[ragnar]

great work! Thanks

Using Hellanzb with the HellaWorld web interface.  Episode Butler integrates nicely.  Downloads the nzb to my queue-folder, Hellanzb takes it from there.  I LOVE EB, and I'm hoping you'll expand the feature set in some future version.  Nice job!!!

out.

Hi Janoz,
i have a new feature request.

A list of all the episodes that you are missing that have already been aired.
I just checked and have a lot of missing shows in EB.

also i found out that many of them should have been found and downloaded.
Mind of Mencia 4x02 is on newzbin for 11 days.
is there a way to check why its not downloaded
