Error Adding Show: Root Directory Not Set

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I am unable to add shows. When I find a show to add, I set the status, select 'Flatten Folders', and set the quality; then click the Add Show button I get the error "Error adding show. ERROR: Root directory is not set, please provide a location".

I am running SickBeard Alpha Master, and all other features are working.

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have a default directory set for your shows? aka Root Directory. Its been a while but I am pretty sure you must set a default.

So I couldn't find a place in the Sick Beard UI configuration to set a root directory, but in config.ini I found the 'root_dirs' config line. Setting this did the trick.

Thanks!

For the record, Im pretty sure you have to actually try to add a show in the web ui to set this option. The url is "/home/addShows/newShow" Its step 2.
