Before we get into the installation and configuration portion of Sickbeard let me talk for a brief moment about the pitfalls you may encounter. When I began using Sickbeard I already had a robust library of episodes. Not the type of library that was easily repaired or replaced after making a mistake with a program that would automatically rename and sort my files Trust me when I say, "It sucks when you accidentally destroy and entire show's worth of data just by scrambling all of the filenames.
It sucks so, so much. The first is understanding what each post processing option does, and the other is strict German-esq folder organization. To illustrate the basic design I will lay out my folder design. My folders are located on a special drive on my NAS, but yours can be located anywhere you want. It should be noted that the "show " folders are automatically created by Sickbeard if they do not already exist. Device that your files will be located on For me this is my NAS. Move Associated Files: Checking this box will tell sickbeard to move all of the extra files besides just the video file to our storage folder.
Rename Episodes Checking this box will tell sickbeard to apply new names to all files moved from the download folder. This option is vital to making your automatic downloads work smoothly, but it can also be a curse! If you are asking sickbeard to bulk process a folder full of downloads that you have accumulated, but are too lazy to sort, you are probably going to run into trouble. There are two different versions of that show, one old version and one new. Since Sickbeard had to guess, it automatically renamed and moved all of the video files incorrectly.
Scan and Process: Checking this box will tell sickbeard to activate post processing. Without this box checked, post processing is turned off. The Air-By-Date option is for naming shows that air daily like "Conan" or other late night variety shows. I use XBMC because it is super awesome. It is all tiny and only makes XBMC look prettier. Sure XBMC will download this stuff for you, but it will look in the show folder first.
So just check all of these boxes. As for banners, that is totally up to you. I prefer posters. Some people prefer banners. That is the basic setup for post processing and making Sickbeard work as a show organizer. Configuring Sickbeard! Adding Shows! This is the Add Existing Shows page. Before anything is going to work right, you need to add the directories where your shows are stored. Below you can see my NAS shares as they have been added to Sickbeard.
Add any directories containing TV show folders. My shit is all over the place Look at all those different hard drives! Wanted: This will tell Sickbeard to look for available downloads for this episode. This is how episodes should be set by default. Low Quality: This will tell Sickbeard that you don't like the quality of the file that is downloaded.
This option is like "Wanted" except that you already have a file. Sickbeard will only re-download this episode in a higher quality. Set by the show Quality settings. Downloaded: This tells Sickbeard that you already have a super awesome copy of this episode.
A copy that you love and don't want replaced. Skipped: This tells Sickbeard that you have no interest in this episode. It will be ignored. Once these options are set, you can add any existing show folders. Sickbeard should scan your directories and then give you a list of show folders that can be added.
Add these shows and you will be redirected to the home page. You should see the shows being added to the homepage. This can take some time. Each show has to be found on thetvdb. Next I suggest opening each of your shows one at a time. This sucks like a super duper ton if you have lots of shows. After opening each show you need to check that the episodes have been detected correctly. You should check the expected episode in the left column against the detected episode in the right column.
Make sure that ALL of the files are matching and that you like the naming convention. Everything will be awesome when this is done! Windows Registry Editor Version 5. Related Articles. Mar 27, - AM - Mr. Johnsen Comment Link. Great article. Reply Mr. Thanks for helping out.

You can tell Sick Beard to download new shows that are not in your media collection or you can tell Sick Beard to start things off by scanning your existing TV show collection to keep it up to date.
Sick Beard will handle everything for you. You can click Add New Show to get started. Click next. Enter in the root folder for your TV collection and click Set as Default. Here you can customize your download options. How you set the initial status of the episodes is important.
If you want all the episodes of the show, change it to Wanted. Check Seasons Folders , you want Sick Beard to keep it tidy. Finally, you need to select what quality you want the show to download in. If you want to be particular you can select Custom—be forewarned that using the Custom setting can really narrow your options though.
Plug it into Sick Beard now. Sick Beard will keep tabs on the show and begin downloading and sorting it the day it starts airing without any further interaction from you. Start at the Manage Directories tab and point it at the folder where you keep all your shows.
It will scan the folder and offer up all the shows it finds in a check list. Then visit the Customize Options tab. Set the default to Skipped. Trust us on this one; if you have a big TV directory with lots of shows the last thing you want is for Sick Beard to get confused and start bulk downloading HD replacements for everything.
Start slow. If you want to play it extra cautious check Prompt me to set settings for each show for granular show-by-show control. Click the Home tab to see a list of all your shows. Here you can essentially batch edit your entire or partial collection.
Want to rename all the shows in a new format? You can batch it here. You can do that too. At this point you should be completely configured and ready to rock. If you have any additional questions sound off in the comments to get things cleared up or visit the Sick Beard Wiki.
