File is safe for download.

Sure it's probably safe, but 23 pages? That's a lot of work when the end goal is to just be lazy. Not knocking it, just baffled by the amount of effort put into automation.

The guide contains a ton of large screenshots which takes up some space.

I followed this one (http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-media-server-ubuntu-11.10-sabnzbd-sickbeard-couch-potato-headphones-serviio) which covers the same apps (I didn't end up installing serviio which it also recommends).

Maybe some less-lazy person can have a quick look and see if there are any interesting differences.

Interesting stuff. Will definitely browse this tonight. I've never gotten couch potato to work properly (at least I can't tell if I have) so I hope this guide gives me some pointers.

Anyone know how to adjust Sickbeard for Scene mess ups ?

For example a show called Tanked is being released as Season 5, when TVDB and all the others are saying it is Season 4 ?

Cheers

Great guide and even though I use NZBGet, then this was helpful, since there are very similar settings.

Been using this for about 2 years now. Awesome. Completely awesome. There's another app Mylar which handles Comics. It's newer and I had to fool around with it for awhile in order to get it to work but I got it. I'm not a big Comic guy but I do read Walking Dead.

When you say "It's being released as Season 5", do you mean that's how you received it via SAB?
You should be able to manually edit the file & foldername, then run post processing, and Sickbeard will know where to put it and rename it correctly.

I'm not sure how you have yours setup but for instance, mine would be
Tanked--> Tanked Season 05 -- Tanked S05E01, Tanked S05E02, Tanked S05E03, etc etc etc..

If you change it to S04 it will know what to do with the files.

No, they are being released as Season 05, when in fact the Season is listed as 04 on Tvdb, So Sickbeard cant call them or download them.
