Note that backlog works only with NZBMatrix and NZBs.org since they're the only sites with search APIs, and NZBMatrix is currently broken.

I updated to 451 today and added my NZB'sRus info to it and im having issues with it finding tv shows to download. If i search on their site i can find what im looking for but if SickBeard searches it finds nothing. There are no errors and the log just says no downloads found. Any suggestions?
Here is what my log says
May-22 13:20:30 INFO CP Server Thread-2 :: No downloads were found
May-22 13:20:30 INFO CP Server Thread-2 :: Searching Bin-Req for The Office (US) - s06e24 - The Chump
May-22 13:20:30 INFO CP Server Thread-2 :: Searching NZBs'R'US for The Office (US) - s06e24 - The Chump

Where do you find your uid/hash for nzbs'r'us?

Both of the above questions are answered on the wiki... NZBs'R'Us only supports RSS so only currently-airing episodes will be found, and you get your key on the RSS page.

This is a fantastic tool that trumps the PHP tool I was working on with a friend! The only thing ours did differently was in the "backlog" section. I love the effort you've put in so far, so I thought I'd make this small suggestion.... take it for how it's intended - to make this an even *better* app!
We noticed that when searching the indexing sites for older episodes (Season 1, 2 etc) that individual episodes were not found, but entire seasons were. This was fine, since we had written our app to look for the %-age of missing episodes per season. If it was more than 90% missing, grab the entire season as opposed to scraping each episode (since there was not likely a chance of finding them).
The code genius on our team actually went one step further. His modification actually opened the season NZB and stripped out the episodes we currently had on file already, then queued up the individually stripped out NZBs instead of one, large season download.
If you could incorporate this into your app, I think it would be one step closer to the perfect IP-PVR! If you'd like, I can try to get you into contact with our coder...
Just a suggestion, brilliant work so far!

I currently use AltBinz to automatically check my NZBMatrix RSS feeds for the latest episodes then download/check/repair/extract to the separate show folders, so does SickBeard offer me anything better?
Thanks.

hi guys.
i just wanted to check for new episodes of a series, and recognized that sickbeard corectly sent the corect links of the episodes to sabnzbd. however, sabnzbd was just tryng to connect to the url, and could not get the nzb file for downloading. even a manual add of the url did not work. in the ende i had to use the url in my webbrowser for downloading the nzb file and uploading it to sabnzbd myself.
the url did not work for both bin-req and nzbs.org
where lies the problem? sickbeard, sabnzbd or the search providers?
