@DrDrewZA most providers have a separate category for x265/HEVC, so simply adding the quality or required words will not be enough in and of itself unless you use a provider that searches all categories already or does not have them in a separate category. Each torrent provider needs to be updated with code to search for those.

I will see about it in the near future because they are becoming more prevalant and more commonly able to be played.

+1 for this also, Just came here for search for such thing now that all my devices support the format perfect lol

sam43434 on 27 Dec 2018

Would it be possible to add it as a sub-option when 720p is selected as the preferred quality or have it in the "allowed" or "preferred" quality lists when using custom?

The usenet indexers I use have HEVC in the same category (HD) as regular h.264 encoded releases and specify HEVC in the release name. However, I am reluctant to add HEVC to the required word list as not all of the shows SickChill is set to grab have HEVC releases published.

I use X265 normally now.. The criteria should be expanded to include X265.. I have to select by using custom/Unknown and put wanted HEVC. But it puts all files in the Amber backlog queue.. I would want to have a 1080p X265 version when available for future use but may have a 1080p x264 at the outset.. It usually takes about 6 hours for the X265 to turn up.

potestus on 3 Apr 2019

Instead of setting the quality as unknown and getting either 1080 OR 720 etc, I still have the required words x265, hevc, and ignored x264

I stopped auto updates, and edited common.py at line 387 from

"return Quality.UNKNOWN if result is None else result"
to
"return Quality.HDTV if result is None else result"

herbi3 on 8 Apr 2019

Thanks,

I'm new to sickchill so will keep updates..
I suppose I can keep a copy and replace if there is an update? Will try it

Although HEVC is not a quality, but 720p is not either a quality.
720p is a measure of resolution.
Quality is the combination of resolution, codec and bandwidth.

magjo67 on 8 Apr 2019

Correct! However, sickchill is unable to identify some releases because it has HEVC instead of HDTV in the release name.. Incredibly frustrating, but this has fixed it until support comes in later.

Some release names that sickchill can't natively identity are The Simpsons S30E19 1080p HEVC x265-MeGusta.

Normally releases have names like The Simpsons S30E19 1080p HDTV x264

herbi3 on 8 Apr 2019

The two simple changes can be made.

As i have found multiple times a episode gets placed as unknown SDTV when it's a 720p HEVC.

I found that in ./sickchill/tagger/episode.py you have a function that looks for X265 but the code is broken.

return '' if not (self.avc[:-1] == '5') else self.avc

self.avc[:-1] will return x26 which given that if not then it will always return ''

the correct line should be

return '' if not (self.avc[-1:] == '5') else self.avc

then the second fix is under ./sickbeard/common.py I added ep.hevc to the HDTV entries to make sure it labels them correctly.

``` @staticmethod

for downloading I added the Required Words: x265,HEVC in the tvshow this works will until an update and I don't know github to make a pull request i'm hoping someone else can and add these fixes in.

So what settings in SickChill will this allow in the preferred quality? At
the moment it's only mcgusta posting X265 and always has hevc. Not very
consistent at the moment..

Be good to get 720p at first and 1080p when available... (can take a week).

From I'm understanding is everyone on this issue is asking for x265 to be added as a Quality option to sickchill. Could I just say that this is a Huge task and a complete rewrite. Quality is not based on Codec's this would cause a very long list of Quality options. for example:

1080p WEBDL x264
1080p WEBDL x265
1080p WEBDL vp9
1080p WEBDL MPEG4
1080p WEBDL XVID
1080p HDTV x264
1080p HDTV x265
1080p HDTV vp9
1080p HDTV MPEG4
1080p HDTV XVID
720p WEBDL x264
720p WEBDL x265
720p WEBDL vp9
720p WEBDL MPEG4
720p WEBDL XVID
720p HDTV x264
720p HDTV x265
720p HDTV vp9
720p HDTV MPEG4
720p HDTV XVID

Thats just a smal list of what you are asking. SickChill or Sick-Beard went for a very simplistic why using the screen resolution and a few key words in the name to define the Quality.

The "hackey Patch" one fixes a code error in ep.hevc bug and second helps to correctly define the download to at least get a Quality value rather than setting it to Unknown. SickChill has a very nice thing called "Required Words" this help you define what downloads you prefer for example I set my TV shows to have "x265,HEVC" this will search all download options and only download the files that have either of the words.

That is a problem with your download source. mcgusta is a Bot that downloads and then transcodes to x265 sometime the BOT stops working and misses a few episodes. The name you listed is a x265-HEVC codec file so you would be downloading a 1080p WEBDL it would be a x265.

I'm ok that I can grab what I need.. It is the backlog process that us
causing pain.. A simple option to switch off the Amber backlog would work

Ok, and thanks
So what do I do to apply this fix? Is there a patch or is it a manual edit? .. And what should I set the required quality to be.. I want x265 720p at first the 1080p when and if available?

potestus on 21 Apr 2019

X264 should not be in the quality logic for HDTV.. X266 is now underway and is likely to become the standard. X265 (probably interim) is working fine on Xbox. What about a codec switch.. Which will insert your preference into the logic.

potestus on 24 Apr 2019

Still nothing going to be fixed for this?

It needs to be in the quality logic, 265, 266 etc because releases have this in the name. Current if it contains these, by default it wont snatch it.

All I can recommend for everyone is the above fix and keep your updates disabled until the fix is pulled in.

herbi3 on 25 Apr 2019

I'm doing the grab via rss sabnzb looking for the 1080p version fron my
shows. and letting sickchill grab the 720p version.. Hopefully first.

I have over 2000 shows in backlog Amber.

Not nice..

few commits coming through, but still no HEVC support......

herbi3 on 26 May 2019

Please send me a bunch of file names for hevc that I can test with. I need all variances. You can change the show name in the file name and post a list here for safety

miigotu on 31 May 2019

Although HEVC is not a quality, but 720p is not either a quality.
720p is a measure of resolution.
Quality is the combination of resolution, codec and bandwidth.

Actually, quality is combination of resolution, codec, and SOURCE (dvd, bluray, hdtv, webdl, etc)
The issue is because MeGusta is releasing files with no source, and 2 codec/compression in the file name. HEVC and x265 are essentially the same thing. HEVC is the compression and x265 and h.265 are 2 codecs that can use that compression. The 4th thing for quality that we ignore is the container (mkv, avi, mp4, etc)

miigotu on 31 May 2019

Up until this week all 720p versions were marked HDTV..
I only use the mcgusta HEVC and they are consistently named.

Correct. Testing on this end, if it doesn't have HDTV in the name, it's not detected at all. Unless the hacky fix is applied and updates are disabled.

x265 by MeGusta are typically always named the same (Just without the typical HDTV in the name..)

I've added the naming from a random search below
Elementary.S07E02.1080p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta
Marvels.Cloak.And.Dagger.S02E10.1080p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta
Forged.in.Fire.S06E15.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta
American.Ninja.Warrior.S11E01.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta

A few other examples from other sources

Star.Trek.Discovery.S00E01.Runaway.1080p.NF.WEB.DL.DDP5.1.HDR.HEVC-MZABI

Yes, these are movies, but the similar name applies
Captain.Marvel.2019.2160p.WEB-DL.DD+5.1.HEVC-MOMA
Captain.Marvel.2019.2160p.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.HDR.HEVC-BLUTONiUM
Aquaman.2018.UHD.BluRay.2160p.TrueHD.Atmos.7.1.HEVC.REMUX-FraMeSToR

here's a few more, I'll have to modify the searcher to default to HDTV for hevc for the following to be picked up as HDTV

Do you have any examples to share with the class, Terry?

herbi3 on 1 Jun 2019

The 1080p versions are grabbed from sabnzb rss feed from my cart.. They are
handed to sickchill and all come up HDTV. The 720p versions are snached by
sickchill and handed to sabnzb.. Could this be it?

.... thanks for the reminder, Terry..

...Do you have any debug logs helping us here?

herbi3 on 1 Jun 2019

I think I need to add a search setting for "Allow HEVC/x265" so that people who want them can get them, but people who do not dont randomly just start getting them on this next update. This does not require a new set of qualities, because HEVC is not a quality it is a compression/codec.

miigotu on 1 Jun 2019

That sounds like a good compromise and would probably be easier to implement than add a set of new Qualities that specifically reference HEVC

josurr on 2 Jun 2019

HEVC isnt a quality, so adding qualities makes zero sene :)

miigotu on 2 Jun 2019

Neither is 720p, 1080p, h264, h265, xvid. Basically everything Sickchill uses to determine the quality, isn't actually a quality....

herbi3 on 2 Jun 2019

Quality, like i said before, is the combination of resolution, source, codec/compression, and container. We ignore containers, and codec is easily selectable outside of our quality system.

If anyone can, please test the feature/5250 branch and report back. You will need to enable HEVC support in search settings at the bottom of the episode search tab. Nothing else should need to be changed.

https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/pull/5519/files

>>> from sickbeard.common import Quality
>>> Quality.qualityStrings[Quality.scene_quality('The.Hot.Zone.S01E04.1080p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta')]
u'N/A'
>>> Quality.qualityStrings[Quality.scene_quality('The.Hot.Zone.S01E04.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta')]
u'N/A'
>>> sickbeard.QUALITY_ALLOW_HEVC = True
>>> Quality.qualityStrings[Quality.scene_quality('The.Hot.Zone.S01E04.1080p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta')]
u'1080p HDTV'
>>> Quality.qualityStrings[Quality.scene_quality('The.Hot.Zone.S01E04.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta')]
u'720p HDTV'

Granted, there is a drawback here because since these releases do not include a source tag, we use HDTV as a catchall, and I am ok with that.

Please stay on that branch for a few days to test. I'll be adding some tests to make sure this functionality is not broken in the future.

This has made it into the develop branch. You will need to enable HEVC support in search settings at the bottom of the episode search tab. Nothing else should need to be changed.

If you want to help test if the feature meets the needs, it is available in the develop branch right now. Please feel free to run develop to see if it works for you and provide us feedback.

When develop is deemed stable enough, it will be promoted to become the new general release. This usually takes a number of days.

ill wait until it hits master but looking forward to it

sam43434 on 7 Jun 2019

I tested this on the dev branch. I am on a readynas 214 (firmware 6.10.1)

Ticking the box DOES allow HEVC/x265 releases to be included in results.

It doesn't seem to prioritize them over other releases, which is what would be really helpful.

You can add "HEVC" to your 'Required Words', but then the search will fail if an HEVC release isn't available, and ideally it would fallback to non-HEVC releases.

drdogbot7 on 11 Jun 2019

It doesn't seem to prioritize them over other releases, which is what would be really helpful.

I think this is because SickChill thinks WEB-DL is higher Quality then HDTV that is why it downloaded a x264 rather then the x265.

I guess you would have to force HEVC to be a higher Quality then everything else and only then would it look for a lower quality if it can't find an HEVC version.

You would have to have it fit in the defined code in sickbeard/common.py
Determine quality and set status codes """ NONE = 0 # 0 SDTV = 1 # 1 SDDVD = 1 << 1 # 2 HDTV = 1 << 2 # 4 RAWHDTV = 1 << 3 # 8 -- 720p/1080i mpeg2 (trollhd releases) FULLHDTV = 1 << 4 # 16 -- 1080p HDTV (QCF releases) HDWEBDL = 1 << 5 # 32 FULLHDWEBDL = 1 << 6 # 64 -- 1080p web-dl HDBLURAY = 1 << 7 # 128 FULLHDBLURAY = 1 << 8 # 256 UHD_4K_TV = 1 << 9 # 512 -- 2160p aka 4K UHD aka UHD-1 UHD_4K_WEBDL = 1 << 10 # 1024 UHD_4K_BLURAY = 1 << 11 # 2048 UHD_8K_TV = 1 << 12 # 4096 -- 4320p aka 8K UHD aka UHD-2 UHD_8K_WEBDL = 1 << 13 # 8192 UHD_8K_BLURAY = 1 << 14 # 16384 ANYHDTV = HDTV | FULLHDTV # 20 ANYWEBDL = HDWEBDL | FULLHDWEBDL # 96 ANYBLURAY = HDBLURAY | FULLHDBLURAY # 384

I think this is because SickChill thinks WEB-DL is higher Quality then HDTV that is why it downloaded a x264 rather then the x265.

Makes sense. I suspect most people who are interested in HEVC would want it to trump other releases _at a given resolution_, but who knows!

I guess you would have to force HEVC to be a higher Quality then everything else and only then would it look for a lower quality if it can't find an HEVC version.

Yep. And then you're back to the problem of having a list of Qualities that is really long and cumbersome.

And there's STILL the issue that the HEVC releases tend to be delayed somewhat compared to the standard ones, so if you don't require HEVC, then you'll probably end up getting a standard one anyway for new releases.

IN ANY CASE, the update does seem to be pulling HEVC releases WITHOUT resorting to setting the quality to Unknown, AND nothing seems to have broken for me. So that's good! 👍

drdogbot7 on 12 Jun 2019

In skytorrents.py

just add x265 here :

self.urls = {'config_provider_home_uri': self.url_base,
'search': self.url_base + '?category=show&sort=created&query=%s+x265&page=%s'}
