I solved my SickRage "add new shows" problem. IPv6 was turned on in my jail. I have IPv6 turned off on my PFSense router and the Jails seem pretty insistent upon using IPv6. I had to select the jail, select settings and clear out several IPv6 fields to get it to finally take. Unchecking just the IPv6 checkbox wasn't enough. I'd go back into settings and the IPv6 checkbox would be turned on again.
A clue that you might have this problem is the jail DNS doesn't work. If you can ping 8.8.8.8 but you can't ping google.com check /etc/resolv.conf. You might find there's no hostname entries there. When I turned IPv6 off and restarted the jail, the /etc/resolv.conf file showed hostname 192.168.0.1.
I will probably turn PFSense IPv6 back on because it didn't solve a problem I had with another device.
Thanks to everyone who threw ideas at me.
