I had a bunch of shows I was adding (like 20) with some of the having nfo files and some did not.

It would ask me for a show, I'd hit next, then that happens 2 or 3 times, then it throws the error. I'd wait for it to show the finished task message in the logs, then I'd hit refresh, and the whole thing would repeat again.

A couple of questions

1. With my current SABnzbd setup, I run a script to update my YAMJ library for my Popcorn Hour box (along with the XBMC call).

Is there a way to add this additional step in there?

2. Is there a way to specify a different category for a particular show?

1. http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/issues/detail?id=223 (not yet)

2. Nope

About the DB error, I see the problem now but I'm not sure the best way to fix it. That code will get looked at pretty soon so I'm going to leave it for now and come back to it once it's redone.

Ok, another issue, platform specific.

I'm running FreeBSD, and the sabToSickBeard.py has a hardcoded call to /usr/bin/python, whereas on FreeBSD, python is at /usr/local/bin/python

Obviously this is something I can fix, but you know...

So with newzbin out of the pictureAngry, what is the second best option? I have nzbmatrix VIP also. Is one of the other options better than them?

Without knowing anything about your script, I would just add a call to your script from within the sickbeard postprocessing script. That would be a temporary solution. It's not really a good one though.

Well, aside from the python path, Sick-Beard works on a FreeNAS (stripped down FreeBSD) system. Good job!

Just need to put together a start up script and it'll be perfect.

nzbs.org is working fine here and doesn't cost anything.

When my mediacenter is sleeping when an episode airs, sick beard reports it as "missing" after wake-up.
Wouldn't it be possible to have sick beard automatically check for these missing episodes after wake-up (or at a set time interval)?

Now I have to manually press search for every missed episode.

I'm pretty sure it does search at a timed interval. At the bottom of the page it says "Search: " with a countdown. I think it's once an hour.
