sabPreProcessing

A pre-processing script for SABnzbd in BASH!

I always loved the "click and forget" possibility of Sickbeard and Couchpotato.
But sometimes I need to add an nzb file myself – no category is set, only the default post-script is used and mostly the folder name just looks like crap. And even when Couchpotato or Sickbeard added something,
there was a chance it was not what I wanted it to be.

I needed a pre-processing script.
There where various SABnzbd post-processing scripts out there,
but not many pre-processing scripts with various features – so I wrote my own in BASH.

FEATURES

• Set SABnzbd category automatically by tv-show-regex, IMDB-ID or games group
• Set post-processing script and priority according to category
• Refuse download according to size and category (which movie is under 400mb?)
• Automatically set high priority on low size
• Extract password and add to a password file to be used in SabNZBd
• Get the release name out of the nzb name and use as final folder name
• Clean out many UseNet exceptions
• Disable script for own exceptions
• Refuse nzbs using a badword filter
• Many configurable variables
• Exact log file

HOW TO INSTALL

Move to your SABnzbd script folder and clone the script:

cd '/home/username/.sabnzbdplus/scripts';
git clone 'https://github.com/HashWorks/sabPreProcessing.git';

Add a symlink inside your SABnzbd script folder to the script file:

ln -s 'sabPreProcessing/sabPreProcessing.sh' 'sabPreProcessing.sh';

Make a copy of the default configuration file and name it 'config.sh':

cp 'sabPreProcessing/default.config.sh' 'sabPreProcessing/config.sh';

Edit your configuration file and set your variables.
Remove the variables you wish to stay at default value.
You can extend default arrays by ARRAY+=('bar');.

Make the script files executable. This may need root rights:

chmod a+x 'sabPreProcessing/default.config.sh';
chmod a+x 'sabPreProcessing/config.sh';
chmod a+x 'sabPreProcessing/sabPreProcessing.sh';

Add the pre-processing script to your SABnzbd settings and save them: http://i.imgur.com/N4soUIr.png
And you are done!

TESTING

You can test it by running:

sabPreProcessing/sabPreProcessing.sh 'Dexter S07E06 FRENCH 720p HDTV x264-JMT Testmessage, not part of releasename http://hashworks.net / securepassword' '3' 'standard' '' '-100' '9711567550'

It should return something like:
