Software update: Sick Beard build 502 alpha

Spread the love

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. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changelog for build 502:

  • Add grace-period to bypass ‘ended’ show status checks. Also we store the last date SB updated it’s data from tvdb (so we can key off some of our logic checks).
    The bypass introduces a sliding window of +/- 30 days from the latest aired episode airdate and -30 days before next unaired episode airdate where we will just get the latest data from TVDB during our nightly update. Additionally we will update every 90 days as well (this is reduced to 30 days for the first year a shows ended).
    This should prevent the need to do ‘force full update’ to fix shows that get their status changed incorrectly while still reducing the hits to TVDB for shows that are in-fact ended.
  • Modified DB schema to use an index on tvdb_id (tv_shows) and showid (tv_episodes) to speed up queries.
  • Add support for SD web-dl. pull #768
    Fixes detection of things like Project.Runway.All.Stars.S03E02.Bitten.By.The.Fashion.Bug.WEB-DL.x264-RKSTR and Cutthroat.Kitchen.S01E03.Tac-o.the.Town.WEB-DL .x264-JIVE
    Note: this means now SB will pick up those mSD 480p re-encodes.. add 480p to ignore_words to 2stop those (already done for new users).
  • Gracefully handle some scenarios when the data being returned from TVRage is not what we expect.
  • Cleanup of old defunct providers and notifiers. pull #751
    • Remove nzbx, nzbs ‘r us, newzbin, nzbs_org_old, nzbmatrix, bin_req providers
    • Remove notifo Notifier Pull #709
  • OMGwtfNZBs now only supports HTTPS, switched our URLs to accommodate.
  • Cleanup SB db migration (only support build 496+) and initial schema (based of build 501). pull #753
    This allowed us to clean out a lot of legacy crude and streamline some things in our DB
  • Use CSS to increase the target of the link in a table field instead of tableClick.js (resolves browser/os issues). pull #761
  • Fix the 404 redirect handler for when no web_root is set (was causing loop). pull #762
  • Fix Chrome redraw issues due to the background image being fixed. pull #757
  • Added config/hidden which lists the ini only options w/SBEnded script. pull #764 #766
  • Fix for log file handle remaining open on restarts. pull #765
  • Cleaned up the start options logic (should help with pidfile creation) and added help text.
  • Upgrade tablesorter js from 2.1.19 to 2.13.3. pull #769
