Post-Processing with Sickbeard Not Working

Post by vexion »

I'm totally new to Usenet/SABnzbd/Sickbeard and a host of other programs and protocols I've found myself learning tonight, but I'm trying to set up SABnzbd to automatically download new episodes of my TV shows. I've been following this guide. Right now, I have SABnzbd and Sickbeard working perfectly together, except in post-processing. I have the Post-Processing Scripts Folder set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Sick Beard\autoProcessTV, and the tv category post-processing script set as sabToSickBeard.exe (a script that comes with Sickbeard). But every time a file finishes downloading in SABnzbd, it kicks back this error:

Code: Select all

Exit(1) operable program or batch file.
And then, when I click on that error:

Code: Select all

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I've searched the forums and I can't find a definitive answer. At first I figured it was because I didn't have Python installed. So I installed Python 3. Then I saw an admin post saying SABnzbd and Sickbeard don't support Python 3, so I uninstalled it and installed Python 2. Python is in the C:\Python27 directory, but it's still not working.

Am I missing a crucial step?


Version: 0.7.3
OS: Windows 7 SP 1
Install-type: Windows Installer
Firewall Software: Windows 7 Firewall
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? Yes, every time I successfully download an NZB.

Never mind. I restarted SABnzbd and Sickbeard a couple times and now it's working. The only problem I have now is with the Sickbeard post-processing script not sorting episodes into season folders, but I guess that's a question for the Sickbeard forums.

Hi, just learning this stuff myself. How did you set the tv category post-processing script set to sabToSickBeard.exe? I don't see that setting anywhere in the SABnzbd config screens. Many thanks in advance.
