SickBeard will not start

Sick Beard is a PVR for newsgroup users (with limited torrent support). It watches for new episodes of your favorite shows and when they are posted it downloads them, sorts and renames them, and optionally generates metadata for them. It currently supports NZBs.org, NZBMatrix, NZBs'R'Us, Newzbin, Womble's Index, NZB.su, TVTorrents and EZRSS and retrieves show information from theTVDB.com and TVRage.com.

SickBeard will not start

Post by McGurik »

I have been keeping an eye on these forums as well as the other topic about SB not starting after update, I too have an issue since updating. After updating to SB version 20140320 I have been unable to get it to start. I have repeatedly switched SB on and off along with restarts of the NAS (602T). Following your first suggestion from the other topic I sent to following command, "/usr/local/AppCentral/sickbeard/CONTROL/start-stop.sh restart",and got the reply:

Restarting SickBeard

Can you please help me?

/usr/local/AppCentral/sickbeard/CONTROL/start-stop.sh restart

I wouldn't mind uninstalling and then reinstalling SB if you can tell me which files to save so that I don't need to set up my shows again. Thanks.

One thing that I noticed since reinstalling SickBeard is that some files, not all, get post processed three times after SAB send it the file. In SAB it shows that post processing failed but in fact it succeeded. Everything is working but I don't like seeing post processing failed in SAB. Just curious if you have come across this before I can post a screenshot if it helps but this is what the script reads:

Processing /volume1/Download/SABnzbd/complete/The Americans 2013/Season 2/The Americans 2013 - S02E08 - 720p HDTV x264-2HD.mkv (None)
Parsed The Americans 2013 - S02E08 - 720p HDTV x264-2HD.mkv into The Americans 2013 - S2E8 - 720p HDTV x264 (2HD) [ABD: False]
Looking up The Americans 2013 in the DB
Lookup successful, using tvdb id 261690
Loading show object for tvdb_id 261690
Retrieving episode object for 2x8
Looking up quality for name Season 2, got Unknown
Looking up quality for name The Americans 2013 - S02E08 - 720p HDTV x264-2HD.mkv, got HD TV
File already exists in database and has same quality as new file
Checking existing file size
File /volume1/Media/TV Shows/The Americans (2013)/The Americans (2013) - 2x08 - New Car.mkv is the same size as /volume1/Download/SABnzbd/complete/The Americans 2013/Season 2/The Americans 2013 - S02E08 - 720p HDTV x264-2HD.mkv
File already exists and new file is same/smaller, marking it unsafe to replace
Quitting post-processing
Processing failed for /volume1/Download/SABnzbd/complete/The Americans 2013/Season 2/The Americans 2013 - S02E08 - 720p HDTV x264-2HD.mkv:

That is shown after the first one is successful and then is repeated a third time.

What postprocessing script are you using and is there any indication why it is running 3 times?

The script is sabtosickbeard and has been working fine since my last post. I have subsequently downloaded a few different shows and have not had the problem. Something happened when I reinstalled and retrieved the missing episodes but I cant explain it.

I find that it repeats itself when it doesn't delete the folder after moving it. Its not a big deal but I just wanted to give you a heads up. I have no solution though. :/
