These largely follow the [[ https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear/wiki/Install-SickGear-%5B3%5D-Ubuntu#install | manual Ubuntu installation ]] approach. == Basic Installation == # To get the dependencies: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install python-cheetah python-regex unrar-free git` # Now clone the git repo: `sudo git clone https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear.git /opt/sickgear` # Give yourself ownership: `sudo chown -R yourusername /opt/sickgear` # Start your initial run with: `/opt/sickgear/sickgear.py` ## First up, we're gonna be running this as a service, so we //don't// want it to launch the browser when it starts. {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=cog, name=General > Misc} and uncheck the {nav open the SickGear home page on startup} option at the top. You can always get back to it with your browser at https://localhost:8081 (or whatever you choose as the port, I just used the default). ## A bit further down, you'll probably want to set a root directory for shows. ## {nav Save Changes} ## Under {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=cog, name=General > Interface > Web Interface}, set a username and password (this application is acting as your user, keep it safe!). Hit the {nav Save Changes} button at the bottom of this section, too, and you should be dumped out to a login screen where you can now log in with your freshly set credentials. ## By default SickGear renames files. *** This can be disabled under {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing > File Handling}. *** If you leave this enabled, make sure to check out the pattern set in {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing > Episode Naming} and change it if you have a different preference (click the {icon list-alt} button to show the naming legend). **** I use `%S.N.S%0S.%Q.N/%RN`, which ends up along the lines of "Series.Name.S01.1080p.BuRay/Series.Name.S01E01.1080p.Blu-Ray.x264-KEITHZG.mkv" or such. == Existing Media == The easy way is just to use {nav Settings > Import}. If you want to rename or restructure an existing download, # If the folder already exists in the intended destination folder, rename the existing folder (ex. add an underscore) # {nav Manage > icon=folder, name=Process Media}, and give it the folder to process and tell it to use Move (or Copy if you're feeling timid and want to make sure it works before removing the originals). ---- = Integrations = = Integration with Kodi = In Kodi, # In {nav name=Settings, icon=cog > name=File Manager, icon=folder}, add a source pointed to your SickGear web interface with `/kodi/` appended to it.

Name it something like "SickGear". # In {nav name=Settings, icon=cog > System > Add-ons}, enable unknown sources. # {nav name=Settings, icon=cog > Add-ons}, choose {nav Install from zip file} and choose the source you added, then go into the {nav repository.sickgear} folder, and click {nav OK}.

Configure it for your instance if you aren't running both Kodi and SickGear on the same machine with default settings. NOTE: By default, Kodi uses port 9090 for its JSON RPC API.

You almost certainly want to use `init.systemd` (there are distro-specific init scripts here, but they mostly correspond to older [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init | init systems]], and your distro probably uses systemd). Make a copy of the file. Presuming you're on *buntu 18.04 and your username is `keithzg`, the relevant sections should end up with ``` [Unit] Description=SickGear Service [Service] User=keithzg Group=keithzg Environment=PYTHONUNBUFFERED=true ExecStart=/usr/bin/python2 /opt/sickgear/sickgear.py --systemd --datadir=/opt/sickgear/ KillMode=process Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` You may wish to use another user for convenience or security reasons. Also, if you're on a newer release than Ubuntu 18.04 which has a new enough version of Python 3, you should instead use `/usr/bin/python3` rather than `python2`. Now, copy this file into the right place, and tell your init system to use it. If using systemd, name the service file accordingly with an `@` and it can then be automatically enabled with the right port. Ex. ``` lang=bash # First, make sure you aren't running SickGear manually still. # Then, copy the service file into /etc/systemd/system/, naming it generically sudo cp init.systemd.cusom /etc/systemd/system/sickgear@.service # Now, enable it on port 8081 sudo systemctl enable sickgear@8081.service # It should now autostart on boot, but start it manually this time sudo systemctl start sickgear@8081.service ``` When you browse to http://localhost:8081 you should now see your SickGear installation running again.

Now for the actual integration. # Make a config file: ## From the CLI, `cd /opt/sickgear/autoProcessTV/ && cp onTxComplete.sample.cfg onTxComplete.cfg` and then `nano onTxComplete.cfg`, or open the sample file up from your text editor of choice and save it as `onTxComplete.cfg` ## Comment out the Windows param1 line by adding a `;` at the start ## Set param1 to some path //other// than the `"download-dir"` for Transmission (ex. `/home/yourusername/Downloads/sickgear`) ## Set param2 to something unique, like `sickgear2` # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing} and set ## the {nav Completed TV downloads} folder to some path whose folder is the `param1` value specified in the script config above (ex. `/home/yourusername/Downloads/sickgear`). ## checkmark {nav Scan and post process} ## make sure {nav Postpone post processing} is checked # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=search, name=Search > Torrent Results} and ## checkmark {nav enable torrent media providers}, ## Set {nav Send .torrent files to: } to (surprise surprise) {nav Transmission} ## Set your host:port, username, and password ## Set {nav Downloaded files location} to a path that ends with a folder named the same as `param2` above (ex. `/home/yourusername/Downloads/sickgear2`) ## {nav Test Connection}, and {nav Save Changes}. # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Options > icon=book, name=Media Providers > Priorities}, enable your preferred trackers/indexes and order them, {nav Save Changes}, and then go over to the {nav Options } tab to configure them (for each provider you will need to enable options under {nav Options > Perform search tasks} if you want them to actually be used at all). NOTE: This only copies finished torrents into your library; it does not move them. The original files stay open and seeding wherever you downloaded them to, defined by the `param2` value above. == Integration with SABnzbd == === SABnzbd to SickGear === # `cd /opt/sickgear/autoProcessTV/ && cp autoProcessTV.cfg.sample autoProcessTV.cfg` # `nano autoProcessTV.cfg` (or your text editor of choice) and change at least the username and password to match your SickBeard setup as above. # In the SABnzbd web interface, go to {nav Config > Folders} and set {nav Scripts Folder} to `/opt/sickgear/autoProcessTV/`, and {nav Save Changes}. # Still in SABnzbd, {nav Config > Categories} and add a TV category with the Script set to `sabToSickBeard.py`. # Leave that window open (don't save changes yet) and now back in SickGear, {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing}, ## Change {nav Post-Processing > Process episode method} to {nav Move} ## Toggle on {nav Failed Downloads > failed download handling} ## Checkmark {nav delete left over files from a failed download} which should now have appeared. ## Over in SABnzbd, we need to set some stuff so that this orchestration is handled right ### {nav Config > Switches} and at the top checkmark {nav Advanced Settings}. ### {nav Config > Switches > Queue} and disable {nav Abort jobs that cannot be completed}, and {nav Save Changes}. ### {nav Config > Switches > Post processing} and disable {nav Post-Process Only Verified Jobs}, and {nav Save Changes}. ### {nav Config > Special > Switches} and enable {nav empty_postproc}, then {nav Save Changes} # Now finally save changes in SickGear's {nav Post Processing > Failed Downloads} config section. === SickGear to SABnzbd === # Get your API key from {nav SABnzbd > Config > General > Security } # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=search, name=NZB Results} and ## Enable {nav Search NZBs}, then ## Set {Send .nzb files to} to {nav SABnzbd} ## Set your server URL ## Paste in your API key ## The category should be "tv" by default, but change this if you used something else above ## {nav Test SABnzbd} and {nav Save Changes} if all is well. # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Options > icon=book, name=Media Providers > Priorities}, enable your NZB service and {nav Save Settings}. # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Options > icon=book, name=Media Providers > Options}, set your credentials for your NZB provider, and {nav Save Settings}.
