Yes, it won't be anytime soon. ;)
TorbenB wrote: Thu Jul 15, 2021 3:55 am So I'm rooting for him to fix the system quickly enough that people, and us QNAP users, aren't moving to something else yet again, and that in time he'll implement the movie part as well (some of the older commits before this disaster hinted at the movies part slowly being incorporated).
That would be great. There's also @QNAP_Stephane's SickChill package available in the Qnapclub if you'd like to continue using SickChill. I don't know what the update policy is for that package though.

Also, just because I'm withdrawing support for SickChill doesn't mean QNAP users have to follow this. They can always ask about SickChill problems on the SickChill GitHub repo, but they then have to deal with the developer. Who just recently closed the last QNAP issue created as he didn't want to deal with it. This is where the aforementioned tantrum took place.

The newest SickChill package I released (210714) includes a mod to disable auto-updating.

Agree.

Shady, I'm going to jump a few steps here and suggest you reinstall Entware, as it seems those recent SickChill commits corrupt the installed Python modules. SickChill now installs a lot of additional modules needed only by SickChill which then breaks a few of the existing modules (thanks again @miigotu :roll: ).

Cool thanks.

The Entware command now has SAB throwing a wobbly? Is that related?

Just an FYI for anyone with these issues.

After running

Code: Select all

sherpa clean
sherpa upgrade sc restart sc
I ran this command to fix Entware on OneCD's advice.

Code: Select all

sherpa reinstall ew restart sc
This got SickChill up and running but I hadnt noticed at the time that this caused my SABnzbd install to error out with:

Code: Select all

Essential modules are missing, downloading cannot start.
SABYenc module... NOT found! Expecting v4.0.0 - https://sabnzbd.org/sabyenc
Running:

Code: Select all

sherpa reinstall sab
fixed the issue straight away

So if you are looking for a way to fix your install with Sherpa, then these commands in this order worked for me :)

It's been running for 6 hours or so with no issues

Thanks Kas, good timing. :D

I'll do some checks here to work out why that error is occurring, but in the meantime, your solution works so let's go with it.

For anyone considering making the move away from sickchill I can highly recommend sickgear. I made the switch back when the original sickrage dramas surfaced and have now been using sickgear on my QNAP for at least 5 years and prior to that on a ReadyNAS with absolutely no problems.

I haven't bothered to look at sickchill since then so have no idea how far it has diverged or what it may now offer that sickgear does not.

I just switched with all this drama and I'm extremely happy with SickGear.

Is there a method to switch from chill to gear?

I stopped SickChill and then installed OSickGear using Sherpa. Then began the process of building the library back, I found it to be pretty easy and best method. Setting up the providers made me discover errors in my old SickChill install. Also, SickGear offers free index lookup as well. I'm now getting more hits and pulls then ever before.
