There's no way other than manually editing your DB... how did it happen though? That is a situation that should never ever occur - what steps did you take to get the database into that state?

Great program, works nicely so far.

I did have the same show added twice when I thought it hadn't added it the first time I added it again, the only way round I found was to delete it and re-add it.

I also have a few shows that it doesn't seem to pick up the episodes I have, one being Band of Brothers, the episodes are named "Band of Brothers - S01E01 - Episode Name.mkv" which is the same format as my other shows.

Hm it should prevent you from adding a second time - I'll look into that.

And I need more info about Band of Brothers, because that naming is fine. Do you have season folders turned on? What's your folder structure? What revision? Does it pick up any of the episodes for that show or none at all?

Just realised that my Band of Brothers were in the root folder and not in a season folder. Unselected Season Folder and it picked them straight up. Big Grin

Might be worth if possible automating the Season Folder when a show is added, look for a file in root or a season folder and then set the flag. Also, is setting a show order (Aired/DVD etc) on the todo list?

I'm loving this tool so far, good job!!

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking about a show order?

I will probably automate the season folder setting at some point but not until after I get a stable beta out I think.

Same as Avigrace. I didnt think it was added and i tried again.. I just deleted the show, added again and the message was gone.

I also tried to add a root directory at a friends house. It loaded the 3-4 first shows, but then it stopped.. No messages or anything, just didnt come up with any more shows. Didnt have the time to test it anymore, but ill try again and let you know.

Shows can be sorted by the order in which they are aired or by the order they are on the dvd, My shows appear in SickBeard in the aired order but I have a couple that I want in the DVD order. Firefly for example was originally aired in the wrong order and the DVD order was the correct one.

I can't uncheck "Enable Newzbin". When I uncheck it and press save, the checkbox resets to it's checked state.

P.S: Is there someone who can help me get an account at Newzbin?
