We are going to set up SickBeard to automatically download new TV series from the newsgroups. Via the SABnzbd program. This tutorial is suitable for SickBeard Ubuntu users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SickBeard set General Configuration<\/h2>\n\n<p>Open SickBeard. First go to <strong>Config<\/strong> and then <strong>General<\/strong>. Enter an <strong>HTTP Username<\/strong>. And a <strong>HTTP Password<\/strong> . So that not everyone connected to your local network can adjust everything in your SickBeard. You can also change the port here. The best thing is to restart SickBeard. if you change the port.<\/p>\n<div class='code-block code-block-8' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both; width: 700px; height: 250px;'>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4833496329174552\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- nzbusenetinberichten2021 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:700px;height:250px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4833496329174552\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6745544931\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SickBeard Search settings<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-173.png\" alt=\"sickbeard search settings\" class=\"wp-image-45196\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-173.png 832w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-173-250x200.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>We now go to the tab <strong>Search Settings<\/strong>. Under Epsidode search you put the check mark <strong>Download Propers <\/strong>on So you don&#8217;t download bad versions. Give in <strong>Usenet Retention<\/strong> the number of days on. Which supports the Usenet provider as much as possible. So that old series that are posted in the newsgroups are also downloaded. Then click <strong>Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Put the check mark <strong>Search NZBs <\/strong>on. For <strong>Nzb Method<\/strong> choose <strong>SABnzbd<\/strong>. And at SABnzbd URL you must indicate how you approach SABnzbd in your browser, on the local PC. So that is always http:\/\/127.0.0.1:8050. Only the port can be different. The port number is the number after the &#8220;:&#8221; in my case this is 8085.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"110\" src=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-174.png\" alt=\"api key for sabznbd sickbeard\" class=\"wp-image-45198\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-174.png 866w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-174-250x32.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Now you only need the Api Key. You can find it in SABnzbd under <strong>Setup<\/strong>. Then choose the <strong>General<\/strong> tab. Copy this API key to SickBeard API Key. In SickBeard set the SABnzbd category on TV. And press on <strong>Save Changes. And<\/strong>then on<strong> <\/strong> <strong>Test SABnzbd <\/strong> to test if it went well.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SickBeard Search Providers<\/h2>\n\n<p>Now we go the tab <strong>Search Providers<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class='code-block code-block-8' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both; width: 700px; height: 250px;'>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4833496329174552\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- nzbusenetinberichten2021 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:700px;height:250px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4833496329174552\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6745544931\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can enable the following Search providers without creating an account. <strong>SickBeard index<\/strong> and <strong>Womble index<\/strong>. I have noticed that the SickBeard indexsometimes takes a download with a password. So set it as low as possible. It is advisable to use this. Furthermore, it is wise to create a number of accounts on a number of NewzNab sites. For an overview of NewzNab providers see the <a title=\"newznab providers\" href=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/en\/newznab-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NewzNab providers<\/a> list.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> SickBeard Post Processing<\/h2>\n\n<p>Now we go to the tab <strong>Post Processing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-175.png\" alt=\"rename sickbeard\" class=\"wp-image-45200\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-175.png 886w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-175-250x194.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>It is best to copy the above information. Because then you have the best chance that you can find Subtitles. And that programs like Kodi work good.<\/p>\n\n<p>You also have a Meta Data option if, for example, you have Kodi select Kodi. And turn on all the check marks. If you did that. Don&#8217;t forget to click on <strong>Save Changens<\/strong>. To save everything.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SickBeard notifications<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you have something like Kodi you can indicate in the <strong>Tab notifications<\/strong> whether the libary needs to be updated. This is very handy because you don&#8217;t have to scan again for new TV series in Kodi. They will now be in Kodi when they are downloaded.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add SickBeard TV series<\/h2>\n\n<p>Now we are almost done. We just have to add TV series so that SickBeard knows what to download.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-tv-show-toevoegen-250x149.jpg\" alt=\"add sickbeard TV show\" class=\"wp-image-2421\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-tv-show-toevoegen-250x149.jpg 250w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-tv-show-toevoegen-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-tv-show-toevoegen-369x220.jpg 369w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-tv-show-toevoegen.jpg 499w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Click on <strong>Home<\/strong> and choose <strong>Add Shows<\/strong>. I assume you don&#8217;t have any TV series yet. But if it is, you can use the option ADD existing shows. However, keep in mind that the naming must be good. Otherwise SickBeard does not understand which episode you already have.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-176.png\" alt=\"add sickbeard episodes\" class=\"wp-image-45202\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-176.png 680w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-176-250x169.png 250w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-176-678x460.png 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Enter the name of the TV series here. And choose <strong>ENG<\/strong>. SickBeard now retrieves the information from the tvdb.com website. This can sometimes take a while. Select your TV show.<\/p>\n\n<p>Click now <strong>Step 2.<\/strong> And then click <strong>New<\/strong>. Now find the location where SickBeard should save the series. For example &#8220;\/media\/tvseries \/&#8221; SickBeard creates the name of the tv show folder itself.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-eigen-kwalitijd-250x195.jpg\" alt=\"sickbeard own quality \" class=\"wp-image-2423\" width=\"322\" height=\"251\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-eigen-kwalitijd-250x195.jpg 250w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-eigen-kwalitijd-150x117.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-eigen-kwalitijd-369x287.jpg 369w, https:\/\/nzbusenet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/sickbeard-eigen-kwalitijd.jpg 529w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Click now <strong>Step 3<\/strong>. <strong>Set the initial status of missing episodes<\/strong>. On <strong>wanted<\/strong>. Uncheck the <strong>Flatten Folders<\/strong> check box. You can choose <strong>preferred quality of episodes to be download<\/strong>. But I prefer to put this on costum. Because I often find the HDTV releases better than the WEB-DL. This is because sometimes webbl has only 2.0 sound and the TV hd version not. It is also often easier to find Subs for the HDTV release. See the image above.<\/p>\n\n<p>Click on the bottom of the page on <strong>ADD show.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Your TV series has been added in SickBeard. It may take a while before your TV series is shown in the overview. Because SickBeard has to retrieve the episode information from the tvdb.com website. Then the NewzNab servers are searched for the episodes. And a nzb file is sent to SABnzbd. When SABnzbd has downloaded the file, it will unpack it and place it in the correct folder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>SickBeard set General Configuration Open SickBeard.
