Hi all,
I have created two simple proof of concepts for two different problems which i believ we all experience. I was hoping some of the developers here who are a lot better at this than I am would use some of this in their scripts/applications.
Sickbeard renaming:
I basically took the sabtosickbeard.py and added a few lines which grab the original filename and target destination and then creates a <originalefilename>.nfo in the same directory as Sickbeard puts the nicely renamed version.
Next i changed my autosub to not search for .avi etc but for .nfo, unless the nfo is in a metadata folder. When it finds and downloads a sub based on the nfo it saves it with the new name, then moves the .nfo to the metadata folder.
in this way you can use Sickbeard renaming (which i i like a lot) and still get good results for your subs. Ofcourse it would also be possible to write all the needed info to a small sqlite db instead of a .nfo.
XBMC recently added:
XBMC has this nice whats new view, but always disapoints because there are never any subs for those eps yet.
I tweak one of the autosub scripts a bit to first check for or create an extra column in the files table of the XBMC database, then when it downloads a sub it will flag it in the XBMC database. If it can not do that yet (which you wont be able to if you just downloaded the episode) it will append it to a variable and try again the next run. To be sure you odnt loose that data during a reboot it also dumps it to a temp file, then reads that at start. This way it will always flag the episode in the XBMC database when it can.
Next i changed the query in the recentlyadded script from XBMC just a bit, so that it searches for new eps which have a sub.
Now the "New"section in XBMC only shows me the latest unseen episodes which DO have subtitles.
I love it, and it's also an easy way to check if new subtitles have been downloaded
Anyway, if anybody is interested just pm me. I'm also still working on it a bit, removing hard coded stuff etc to make it totally flexible, but that should not be an issue for developers
regards,
brenn

Hi brenn, would you mind sharing your few lines if python, was thinking about doing a similiar thing.

Also, have you though about using the newly released Sick Beard API to detect new files? This way you wouldn't have to add your lines to the sabtosickbeard script every time it updates?

This is something I am interested in as well (and I assume a lot of XBMC/Bierdopje users are as well.)
Would it be possible for you give a more detailed explanation of changes that have to be made, as well as the scripts you use ?

I changed the code today to be as flexible as possible. I used AutoSub 0.32 as a base (thanks for your hard work guys!).
Apart from the changes described above (the nfo and xbmc bit) i also changed the config file. it now includes log levels,sizes etc, default quality if no match is found and xbmc database. Another important addition is that the script now writes all tvshow id's it finds to the 'namemapping' section of the config file.
Some other minor tweaks as well. f.i. if the regex's miss and source web-dl is found it assumes 720p.
If no XBMC db path is given it will not use this function but will still work for everything else.
The prebierdopjescript.py instead of sabtosickbeard is a requirement. Even though it would be easy for a dev to change it back to 'normal' operation.
It works just fine, has been running as is for a while for me, but i know some of the code could defenitely be cleaner.
hopefully some of the devs here will pick this up and use some of the ideas.
I added the modified autosub, the modified recentlyadded and the prebierdopjescript which i use instead of sabtosickbeard here.
regards,
Brenn

Thanks for sharing this, I will gladly take a look this weekend...

Er zat een foutje in de logsize en logfile handling. Dit is nu gefixt.
