I wanted to provide one last follow up on this.
I grew tired of trying to manually re-add all of my shows from my series directory, so I thought I would give one last show to a re-install of sickbeard. Here's what I did.
- Moved the contents of the /jails/sickbeard/usr/pbi/sickbeard-amd64/etc/sickbeard to the jails root.
- Deleted the old broken instance of sickbeard
- installed a new instance of sickbeard
- created a bkup directory in the /jails/sickbeard/usr/pbi/sickbeard-amd64/etc/sickbeard directory and copied all contents of /jails/sickbeard/usr/pbi/sickbeard-amd64/etc/sickbeard to bkup (just in case)
- Copied the old datadirs from the old instance to the new instance
- Noticed that they defaulted to root:media, chowned to media:media
- Started Sickbeard, saw my shows listing, drank a celebratory beer.
Pretty sure this is exactly what you told me to do earlier Josh (albeit less verbosely). Seriously would have been lost without your help, you sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
