TVDB error, unable to search for show title/info: Told to clean cache dir cache/tvdb but it does not exist
Any ideas?
I have the same problem.

anyone have a solution? I considered my sickbeard.db not being writable but it seems to be fine.
It's fixed in git.

Thanks for fixing the TVDB error. It's working fine now :)

I've got another question. I'm new to this, so this may be a dumb question:
I'd like to automatically download episodes that already exist. Let's say I'd like to see a show that has been going on for 3 years and I've only downloaded and seen season 1 (manually). Let's say Season 4 will start in a few weeks. Sick Beard will watch for the first episode of Season 4. But is there a way to get both seasons 2 and 3 other than manually download each single episode?

I have a question about updating SickBeard, I did some searching before and I couldn't find anything on it - if this has been posted before please just point me towards that and delete this.

How is everyone updating SickBeard from github? Do you just drag and drop the new files or can you run some type of update based on github? What is everyone else doing?

Thanks

I followed this chaps helpful advice and installed sickbeard through a git client.

http://www.jetshred.com/installing-sick ... c-os-10-6/

I just cd into the dir and do a 'git pull', new version in seconds. Make sure SB is not running though.

Thanks for this.

Does it matter what platform I am running on? I have SickBeard running on my Qnap NAS (Which is running some form of Linux).

Hrrm! Bit out of my depth with that one mate.

I would imagine there is a linux version of a git client you can install, perhaps someone else here can help.

I found this guide: http://code.google.com/p/sickbeard/wiki ... eSickBeard and it seemed to work out perfectly.

I was surprised how easy it was, so to anyone else looking to upgrade and can't use the git command, use that guide.

Looking at the commands this works at Ubuntu / debian

It doesn't work on a Qnap NAS. I tried from Ubuntu 10.04 connected to my Qnap and it doesn't see the git command. Doing the manual update worked just fine for me.

For Ubuntu/Debian I found this guide. It's very clear and easy to understand:

It seems like it is not installed so it won't work.

It happened today again, i was doing season 3 of a show about a theory of a bang that is big, and i set most of the shows as missed, and it got a couple of the xvid ones but the rest it got the mkv x264 files.  Yet nzbmatrix did have the xvids readily, so i had to manually do them.  I think there is something up with the way sick beard searches nzbmatrix because it keeps pulling the x264 HD files even though the show is set to do ONLY SD shows, its not set to Any or anything like that.
