Note: The merging of all qualities into one category in API v2 mean more results likely to be cropped. The vendor switched to this method from their (imho, better) original of listing category numbers. It was suggested that clients add and maintain all possible search strings that signify as quality. However, this would still trigger misses, introduce other issues, plus add needless non-standard API complexity. Conclusion; as designed, SG will utilise other configured providers when this one fails to hit targets, this provider should not be configured as a sole provider.
Search mode allows you to choose season packs only or episodes only which controls how backlogs search for data.
Search fallback if selected will attempt a 2nd search this time using the alternative search mode to see if it can get results if the previous attempt failed.
Provider settings are now read and stored dynamically instead of always having to retrieve them by there static names, this will allow for dropping in new provider modules easier to intergrate with existing options already present.
Fixed search code to not perform dupe searches by mistake.
Cache stores a list of shows we have rejected so that next time around we don't have to process them to know we don't like em.
Manual and Backlog searches now gather all the search results FIRST then loop through them filtering the bad ones out, this should improve overall speed of searching for downloads.
Re-write of New Show seearch function
Re-write of Existing show search helper function for determining indexer/indexerid
Massive code cleanup and more bugs found and fixed
Indexer code fully modualized for future proofing
This version of SickBeard uses both TVDB and TVRage to search and gather it's series data from allowing you to now have access to and download shows that you couldn't before because of being locked into only what TheTVDB had to offer.
Also this edition is based off the code we used in our XEM editon so it does come with scene numbering support as well as all the other features our XEM edition has to offer.
Please before using this with your existing database (sickbeard.db) please make a backup copy of it and delete any other database files such as cache.db and failed.db if present, we HIGHLY recommend starting out with no database files at all to make this a fresh start but the choice is at your own risk!
Enjoy!
