SB keeps deleting my stuff. I go to bed last night, wake up to see what was on last night, SB grabbed the nzb of the newest episode. I then go to said folder and there's nothing there, it deleted the entire show.....
Am I missing something here? - why on earth would it do that?
I think this is because you are post-processing files that SAB has already post-processed. They're inside your show folder, and you post process them, and SB deletes the folder after post-processing it. I fixed this before but I must have broken it again with the recent post processing changes. To quote
the post-processing wiki page:
You cannot post process an episode that is already inside its show dir. You must disable SAB sorting to use Sick Beard post processing, all episodes should be being post-processed from a temporary download folder.

Assuming that you're having the same problem that I was, you need to make sure that your final show/episode directories are NOT subdirectories of the Download Dir. The Download Directory is basically just a temporary location from which SB moves the files to their final destination directories. The Auto Post Processing function scans the Download Directory (and all sub dirs) for recognizable files and then tries to process them and move them to the appropriate final show/episode directories. If your Show/Episode directories are subdirectories of the Download Directory itself, in the best case, SB will just end up copying the files right back over the top of themselves (tho I suspect it probably just ends up erroring out and leaving the files alone). 10 minutes later, it'll try to do it all over again.
In a nutshell, the Download Directory should be *completely* separate from your TV Show directories. Think of it as a temporary directory used for processing downloaded files before they're moved to the final show/episode directories.
At least... that's my take on it!
Basically, yes. How can you ask Sick Beard to automatically scan & post-process a folder that contains all of your existing episodes? It's going to think they're all new episodes. Granted it could be smart about it, but for now it expects you guys to be smart about it instead ;-P

However, everytime SB tries to post-process a show, I get this error in the log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sabToSickbeard.py", line 30, in
File "autoProcessTV.pyc", line 58, in processEpisode
File "ConfigParser.pyc", line 540, in get
ConfigParser.NoOptionError: No option 'web_root' in section: 'SickBeard'
It still seems like everything is working fine but I get a error notification after every download and that is what shows in the log.
Also, I've been having trouble with NZBMatrix lately, anyone else? Since Newzbin is essentially closed for now and everyone is secretive as hell about TVBinz and I can't get in, I've been relying on Matrix but SB is missing a few shows that are easily found by a manual search.
This should have been fixed this morning, make sure you have the latest source. Also why don't you use NZBs.org, it's better than NZBMatrix in every way. The reason for the wonky SB search results is that the NZBMatrix API has been buggy as hell lately.

Hey Midgetspy-- one thing i did notice is that once the date for the show to air has appeared it seems to search for it. Is it possible to set that to start searching on date at say, 9pm EST or later--I mean, it's a rare occasion that a show pre-airs before it's scheduled date/time.
This would probably help cut down unnecessary load on the search sites' APIs. Maybe my sickbeard install is just going rogue and searching for stuff before it should, if this is already implemented.
