scene_exceptions.py: scene exceptions were not saved. the exceptionCache variable used to cache the scene exceptions. The list with exceptions is updated in db, but when reopening your series edit page, the scene exception list is retrieved from the cache instead the db. I've created a small patch that updates the cache after updating the scene exceptions in db.
show_name_helpers.py: After each manual search the showName was added to the scene exceptions list. This was only added to the cache, but was anoying because up until a restart the list with scene exception names kept growing. Fixed this by refering to the function by value instead of by reference.
Provider getURL and downloadResult functions now removed and replaced with ones from helpers.py to help slim the code down plus allow more better control over request sessions.
Removed TVTumbler code.
Fixed HDBits provider.
Fixed config settings that were ment to be booleans but instead where set as str or int, should help resolve random html errors.
XEM Refresh check re-coded.
NameParser code for creating show object has been changed to only attempt at the very end once its found the bestMatch result, helps on resources and performance.
Fixed charmap issues for anime show names.
Fixed issues with display show page and epCat key errors.
Fixed duplicate log messages for clearing provider caches.
Fixed issues with email notifier ep names not properly being encoded to UTF-8.
TVDB<->TVRAGE Indexer ID mapping is now performed on demand to be used when needed such as newznab providers can be searched with tvrage_id's and some will return tvrage_id's that later can be used to create show objects from for faster and more accurate name parsing, mapping is done via Trakt API calls.
Added stop event signals to schedualed tasks, SR now waits indefinate till task has been fully stopped before completing a restart or shutdown event.
NameParserCache is now persistent and stores 200 parsed results at any given time for quicker lookups and better performance, this helps maintain results between updates or shutdown/startup events.
Black and White lists for anime now only get used for anime shows as intended, performance gain for non-anime shows that dont need to load these lists.
Internal name cache now builds it self on demand when needed per show request plus checks if show is already in cache and if true exits routine to save time.
Schedualer and QueueItems classes are now a sub-class of threading.Thread and a stop threading event signal has been added to each.
If I forgot to list something it doesn't mean its not fixed so please test and report back if anything is wrong or has been corrected by this new release.
Scene exceptions now uses a internal cache for scene exceptions and scene season exceptions, helps reduce overhead to DB and performs faster lookups when making scene exception requests.
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!
