iirc the url is case sensitive. Try entering 'sabnzbd' instead of 'SABNzbd' as path on the sabnzbd config page in the Episode Butler.

That did it. Thanks Janoz.

I upgraded because I assumed it would be available for almost all platforms. Didn't expect to see a difference in support for intel en non intel Macs. There is only a minor dependency on java6 so I'll try to see if I can also create a java5 version of EB 0.9.

any news on that? affects 32bit intel macs on leopard too

Registered just for this:

First, great app. It really is pretty phenomenal. Episode Butler made my decision to cancel cable a no-brainer.

The only feature request I can think of (and I haven't seen this requested elsewhere, so forgive me if it's been discussed):

I'd love an easy way to download up to two copies of an episode. That is, I'd like to be able to set episode butler to download the first copy of an episode it finds, regardless of quality, then download a higher quality version (for my library) when it's available.

Currently, I can do this by adding a show twice, and setting the quality on one to "Any", and specifying a higher quality version for the second, but this clutters up my show list a bit, and  downloads two copies even if the high-quality version was available first (not common, but not at all unheard-of).

Thanks, again, for the app!

Completely minor request, so don't feel bad telling me to pound sand.

Absolutely loving Episode Butler.

I'm currently working on using Jar Bundler to make it a "regular" OS X application (dockable, easily auto-started at login) - is there a command line switch to relocate the directory used for storing your configuration?  On OS X those types of things are usually stored in /Library/Application Support/AppName or ~/Library/Application Support/AppName and the current default of storing in the same directory makes it so that if I were to release the bundled app it would replace your configuration every time you upgrade.

Once again, excellent app!

Thanks again for this great program Janoz.  Really is an essential app for me. 

With that said, I would like to inquire as to your progress in developing a way to install this as a windows service.  I am running WHS and would like for the program to just start whenever the server boots up.  I have been able to jerry-rig it to do so but to have that capabaility natively incorporated would be great. 

[Memnoch]

Edit: Got it working! Sorry for multiple posts. 

Hmm, it seems that my servince installation method with this new version is now not working.  Has anyone had any success installing the new version as a windows service?

I upgraded my machine to Xubuntu 9.10 64-bit (from Linux Mint , and now I can't seem to access Episode Butler's web ui. It seems to be running, and the log shows lots of recent activity, but when I try to access the web interface I get an "Unable to connect" error in Firefox. I've tried on the local machine and from outside PCs, but get the same error. Other web services like Apache and Sabnzbd are working fine.

I realize this is probably more a Linux issue than an Episode Butler problem, but I'm not sure where to look for a solution.
Any ideas?

How does EB get series info from TVRage?
The reason I ask is that running Episode Butler v0.9.062, Lost, season 6, shows only 3 episodes, where TVrage shows dates for all 18 episodes. As such, ep 4 has been missed.

Don't know if this is a one-off error, or if it's repeated for other shows.

Edit: Deleted the listing and re-added. Now got all the episodes listing.

Finally got java 7 to compile. However, I am getting an error when running eb. I have java in a strange place:
~/bsd-port/build/bsd-ppc/j2sdk-image/bin/java

Here is the terminal reply:

I modify the episodebutler file to reflect the new java location. However it doesn't seem to work:
./episodebutler
can not load libgnomevfs-2.so

The log file contains:

Another request:

Could you either add a SABnzbd priority option for us (high, normal, low, force), and if a priority isn't set, to not send the "priority=" parameter at all?

SABnzbd now has the ability to set download priority based on category, but if a program sends the download request to SAB along with a priority parameter (even a blank one), it overrides the category-based setting.

https://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=3767.0

Thanks for a great program!


/edit: Scratch that. Looks like Episode Butler isn't sending a priority at all. The problem was being caused by a bug in SABnzbd, which has been addressed and will be fixed in 0.51.

Sorry!

Recompiled java and got it to work with EB. Also copied the files from the old install (configs, and the content of the data folder)

Seems to be a bit wobbly (it gives some errors, and crashes), but runs  Still has to dl its first post yet.

In the terminal I get this messages:
can not load libgnomevfs-2.so
Error handling request
Error handling request

Maybe Janoz could take a look to make it more stable under this flavor of java 7, but seems to be running. This seems good news for all running OS X at 32 bits.

[ugokanain]

Just to confirmed it, but I just got my first posts by eb 0.9 on my ppc Mac (OS x 10.5. 

[tammer]

out of the blue i get this error in episode butler:

Searchresult doesn't have a csv contenttype

and it wont post to my sabnzbd server

[Janoz]

Hmm, your the third one mentioning this. Normaly this is caused by making to many requests to newzbin and the Episode butler can handle this result. I requested a log from someone experiencing this problem and I will look into this.
