Sickrage downloaded vs archived

It only matters if you are using git to create programs. Download Python 2. If you are on a 64 bit machine and installed the Python 64 bit version look for this filename: pyOpenSSL Now we will make SickRage run on startup so it runs in the background on boot. Note : if you want a Windows system service that will work on Windows 7, 8, 10 and Server use this guide.

Paste this code, if it doesn't work for you there is another vbs in the comments thanks to Gabriel. Perhaps I should have said that instead. Elsewhere can't find a link now I've read that the Archive option is intended to say that the episode has been moved away from the storage SickRage is managing. Even doing a "re-scan" doesn't change it back. At least I can use the "Episode Status Management" feature to change them all relatively quickly.

I have the exact same situation. But because all the other users of the content have their own way of managing their libraries, the status in SickRage is irrelevant to them. I've read that somewhere too, but since that's supposedly done automatically by SickRage it's not really relevant to this issue.

If you consider marking episodes as archived a work-around, doing this is an even uglier work-around in my opinion. You can easily switch back and forth between "Downloaded" and "Archived" status with the same quality description. And coming back to your first point: an accurate quality description does matter to the other viewers of the content SickRage has downloaded in my household. So I still think marking those older episodes that you don't want to update with higher quality files as "Archived" is the way to go for now.

I've marked all my older content as Archived so long. Going to close this for now, as we are already looking to see if we can bring back an similar "archive on first match" function. Not sure if this has been addressed yet or if I am understanding it incorrectly, but is it not possible to just have a check box in the settings screen for "Don't replace allowed with preferred episodes", thus disallowing the replacement of allowed episodes over the entire system.

That way if a series does become available in p HDTV or such non of the older SD quality will be replaced because they are still allowed. I just got bitten by this oddity in behavior. Has there been any further movement on this issue or s it still standing as is.

Came back to find sickrage attempting to re-download half my library! I'm another user bitten by this behaviour As far as I can tell, it's really just a poor choice of language that misleads the user when setting these options Allowed and "Archive" vs.

Preferred which makes sooo much more sense In my mind, the ideal behaviour would be to have it replicate the Sickbeard options i. The intent here would be that SR would look first at the "Initial" listing and search for qualities in order of preference until it made a hit and then grab that result.

Archive would work identically. See mock option screen for a visual of what I'm suggesting. For anybody stumbling upon this old topic from google searches. My use case was I expanded storage, and wanted to increase quality from p to p, this caused my backlog searches to go ballistic since everything was p. So I did the following:.

Joined Mar 6, Messages Now that Sickrage appears to be defunct. Im trying to decide on the alternative media manager to move too. My understanding is that all are forks off of sickrage.

In my searching I have been looking for comparisons on these listed in the subject line and have not had much success. If anyone has had any experience or could shed some light on these alternatives it would be greatly appreciated.

Some questions I have are: What are the differences between the alternatives? What is the best alternative? What are the differences between the options? Pro's and Cons on these options? Any other Options I should look at? Joined Jul 9, Messages 2, I found a guide to repair my sick rage install at GitHub and it worked, switching it to sick chill and avoiding me having to set up again. Happy to continue with it. Tried sonarr, don't like it. Will try Medusa maybe in 6 months when there's an official plugin for freenas and it's a low effort trial.
