This is personal preference though, if you don't want XBMC to take a long time looking things up, download the meta data when the show downloads so that XBMC doesn't have to look for it.

NOTE: This Amahi application is currently LIVE and integrates with SABnzbd Plus.

Prerequisites (Amahi Apps)

  1. SABnzbd
  2. Sick Beard

SABnzbd Config

  1. First you should make sure you have designated a "scripts" folder. This is found on the "folders" tab of the "config" option in SABnzbd. Set it to "/var/hda/web-apps/sickbeard/html/autoProcessTV/"
  2. Open that scripts folder. Then open the folder titled "autoProcessTV" that you got with your SickBeard installation. Copy all the contents over into your "Scripts" folder.
  3. Rename the "autoProcessTV.cfg.sample" to just "autoProcess.TV.cfg"
  4. Open that .cfg file in an editor. Change the host, port, username, and password values to the appropriate settings for your Sick Beard server. Then save it and close it.
  5. Go back to SABnzbd and click on the "sorting" tab. Disable sorting for TV shows.
  6. Go to the "categories" tab. Set the appropriate script as your postprocessing script for your TV shows (sabToSickbeard.py).


NOTE: The above was modified from Sick Beard Forums.

Sick Beard Config

  • General
  1. Tell it what port to listen on and what login to use. (If installed from Dashboard the default is http://localhost:25915/ Username/Password: Blank/Blank)
  2. Create Meta Data & Images ( I leave this off since I let XBMC do it. I don't like the extra files in the directory. XBMC allows me to delete shows from it's interface but it will only delete the show file, not associated meta data files. Hence you'll be left with a bunch of extra files in the folder that you don't need. I let XBMC do this so I can just delete the show (and the file) from XBMC after I've watched it.) This is personal preference though, if you don't want XBMC to take a long time looking things up, download the meta data when the show downloads so that XBMC doesn't have to look for it.
  3. Episode Naming: I chose "include show name" and "include episode name". I use dashes (-) and the format (S01E01) for mine. This is personal preference though.
  4. For quality I use "Custom" and then choose "720p TV" and "720p WEB-DL". I leave the second box empty (since I only want the show downloaded once) and I select the check box for "use season folders".
  • Episode Downloads:
  1. Episode Search: NZB (duh)
  2. NZB Options: Found NZBs go to SABnzbd
  3. Retention = 600
  4. Enter your SABnzbd server info
  5. Fill in TV download directory (where you keep all your TV shows for XBMC to scan)
  6. Check "rename episodes" and leave the other two boxes unchecked.
  • Search providers:
  1. Fill in your credentials for the providers you use (I use NZBMatrix.com and NZBs.org)
  2. Be sure to set the look-up order on the left.
  • Notifications: I have it do the first three notifications for XBMC (notify on snatched (nzb retrieval), download complete, and update library)
  • Save the settings, and that's it. You should be fully configured now.
