SickBeard on DS1512+

[erric]

I tried to install the python/sabnzbd/sickbeard packages from the zebulon repository, but python fails to install so I can't install any of them. I did install the python package and the sabnzbd package from merty and those are working fine, but I cannot get SickBeard to install. Any help or tips? I read some people talking about editing the packages to change the arch to cedarview, but I can't figure out how to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I suggest you try installing the zebulon packages, his version of sabnzbd is up to date, the mertymade seem pretty old.

If you add the zebulon repository as an external source in package manager, I don't think those versions check for architecture, so that's one way around that problem.

To manually edit the package to enable cedarview here's a step by step. You need the program 7zip to do this.

Download the spk file, for instance SABnzbd-x86-0.6.15-2.spk and then rename it to SABnzbd-x86-0.6.15-2.tar

Use 7zip to extract it to a folder. Inside the folder will be some files including one called INFO. open up INFO in wordpad and change the line that says arch="x86" and change it to arch="x86 cedarview" then save the file.

Highlight all the files in the SABnzbd-x86-0.6.15-2 folder and right click and choose 7zip - add to archive. 7zip will pop up. Change the archive format from 7zip to tar and it will create this file SABnzbd-x86-0.6.15-2.tar

Rename SABnzbd-x86-0.6.15-2.tar to SABnzbd-x86-0.6.15-2.spk and you can use that to install it. But again, I *think* if you go to package center, other sources, and add this url http://synopkg.superzebulon.org/spkrepo/packages the packages will show up in package center and those versions don't check for what cpu your nas has so they'll just install.

Thanks for the help! I actually got the Python and sabnzbd packages from Zebulon's repository to work by adding cedarview into the arch. I could not get sickbeard or couchpotato to install from Zebulon's repository until I installed Python from his repository. I used Keka (someone on the Plex forum recommended it) to extract and compress the files. Thanks again!

I did these steps, but the packages still don't work !

i get an "invalid file format" error when installing on a DS412+

Why are the packages from mertymade old and working and these are uptodate but won't work ?

I was having the same issues as you when I was using terminal to tar the files. Since I started using Keka, I haven't had the issue. How are you compressing/uncompressing the files? I've heard 7zip works well if you're on Windows

I downloaded python and SABNZBD+ from Merty (by adding as a source in packet manager). And they work fine... I've upgraded sabnzbd to the latest version.
When I add Zebulon as a source I only see couchpotato and sickbeard (no python packages) and when I try to install sickbeard I'm told I need a later version of python.

When I go to Zebulon in a web browser I see a lot of different python packages with different "arch" numbers...

I've tried to follow your discussion but "adding cedarview into arch" means nothing to me... Could someone explain in dummyspeak?

Something really weird is happening when I install sabNZBD from Zebulon... I finally figured out how to change to cedarview and I can install Python and sabnzbd but suddenly I couldnt create any users in DSM.

I wiped and reinstalled DSM, created users for sabNZBD, sickbeard and couchpotato.
Reinstalled Python and sabNZBD and when I had a look at my users they weren't in the list!

I can login as any of them but I can't see or edit them...
