The NFO file typically is a text file, and in this particular case a text file with XML formatted data concerning the show or episode. MacOS X – Default open a TBN file with Xee NFO – Show and Episode Information Go to “ Config” → “ Post Processing“, uncheck “ Keep Original Files” and click “ Save Changes“. The configuration page of Sick Beard helps out in this case.

But eventually the “ completed” folder of SABnzbd will chew quite a bit of disc space and that’s not really needed when an episode is already copied to another location (the TV Series folder). With the default settings of Sick Beard the downloaded files will not be deleted – a good thing when you’re just starting to play with the Sick Beard and SABnzbd combo. Once you named your files correctly, do a “ Re-Scan” (as illustrated in the previous example) and Sick Beard will identify them correctly. The first “01” is the season, everything following will be considered an episode (so episode 01 and 02 combined).


The naming convention Sick Beard recognizes would be: Say we have “My Show” and episodes 1 and 2, of season 1, called “Pilot” are aired and saved as 1 file. So how do we make it that Sick Beard does recognize them correctly?

Because of this Sick Beard will not necessarily identify them correctly, for example it sees only the first one but not the second one. Sometimes two episodes are aired combined – The TVDB defines them as 2 separate episodes yet only one big episode (both glued together) has been aired. The Usenet Scene is not always following the correct naming convention for special episodes – this is the reason why Sick Beard cannot always find them!
