Hello All,
I am a long time XBMC user, and I've recently started to experiment with SickBeard.
Having followed the excellent guide by MrHaugen http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...=sickbeard, SickBeard is running without issue and appears to be correctly configured.
I'm aware I have to hold a Usenet account, and preferably also a paid Indexing account.
As I don't know much about usenet and was curious, I found a free Usenet account provider:
free.xsusenet.com
I tried a few free indexing providers, but SickBeard kept reporting errors in accessing their URLs. I therefore signed up for a VIG account at:
https://nzbgeek.info/
This site includes a guide to entering their API & URL into sickbeard, so I know it is correct and SickBeard is not reporting any errors.
However, on searching for content (popular TV shows, of which I have watched via my Sky TV subscription previously), SickBeard simply reports the requested content as 'Continuing'. Having left SickBeard running all night, no content was 'snatched'.
Can anybody offer an opinion as to why this is? I'm guessing the free usenet account may be the issue, however as I understand it the usenet account controls your speed/connections etc, and it's the indexers that tell SickBeard where to find content - so if I have a paid account I would expect to find at least some of the content I was searching for?
Thank you!
