MP4_Automator

Has anyone setup NZBDrone with the Sickbeard/Couchpotato MP4_Automator and the new Download Client Import Handling?

Tried to. Seemed to work for a while (three or four shows) but then it started throwing this error:

{
“name”: “DownloadedEpisodesScan”,
“message”: “Starting”,
“startedOn”: “0001-01-01T00:00:00Z”,
“stateChangeTime”: “2014-06-03T23:22:06.785204Z”,
“sendUpdatesToClient”: false,
“state”: “pending”,
“id”: 5090
}

Response code: 201
Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like there is something wonky with the return values given to the script from nzbdrone. According to mdhiggins, this is a problem with nzbdrone:

Not sure what output that script is expecting, but that’s the out our drone has always returned.

mdhiggins mentioned a couple times in that issue that a post processing script like SB has support for would be better, which you can vote for here: https://trello.com/c/mCJyYeZl/122-custom-notifications-similar-to-sab-post-processing-scripts

Votes dont do anything unfortunately. You guys seem to work on what you want regardless to what the “community” wants. Just look at all the updates/ideas with high ranks that are all in limbo land. We understand that bug fixes come first but dont say vote for something when it doesnt move it up the priority list.

We weigh votes when working on things, but its not the only metric we use, effort vs reward outweighs it. Movies is by far the #1 voted card on Trello, but its also the most effort; its a MASSIVE undertaking, both in terms of implementation as well as testing and support. One user picked movies up and started working on it, only to leave it broken and abandoned, we don’t want to half ass anything, so we’ll do it right when we can.

In your eyes, whats in “limbo land”?

You’re welcome to contribute to the “community” as well: https://github.com/NzbDrone/NzbDrone/wiki/Contributing

We work on drone in our spare time, when we’re not spending time with friends and family and for the most part (save for some donations), completely unpaid.

Having a more pleasant attitude towards the developers of a free open-source project might also help get your pet issues worked on.
