nzbToMedia

Provides an efficient way to handle postprocessing for CouchPotatoServer and SickBeard when using one of the popular NZB download clients like SABnzbd and NZBGet on low performance systems like a NAS. This script is based on sabToSickBeard (written by Nic Wolfe and supplied with SickBeard), with the support for NZBGet being added by thorli and further contributions by schumi2004 and hugbug. Torrent suport added by jkaberg and berkona

Introduction

Originally this was modifed from the SickBeard version to allow for "on-demand" renaming and not have My QNAP TS-412 NAS constantly scanning the download directory. Later, a few failed downloads prompted me to incorporate "failed download" handling. Failed download handling is now provided for sabnzbd, by CouchPotatoServer; however on arm processors (e.g. small NAS systems) this can be un-reliable.

Failed download handling for SickBeard is available by using the development branch from fork SickBeard-failed To use this feature, in autoProcessTV.cfg set the parameter "fork=failed". Default is "fork=default" and will work with standard version of SickBeard and just ignores failed downloads. Additional forks exist for ThePirateBay (does its own extraction and linking). See SickBeard Forks for a lit of known forks.

Torrent support has been added with the assistance of jkaberg and berkona. Currently supports uTorrent, Transmissions, Deluge and possibly more. To enable Torrent extraction, on Windows, you need to install 7-zip or on *nix you need to install the following packages/commands.

"unrar", "unzip", "tar", "7zr"
note: "7zr" is available from the p7zip package. Available on optware.
