Ok I'm aware of HBO and Showtime having Usenet providers like Giganews remove their shows, but I'm using Astraweb so that problem doesn't affect me. So that's out of the way :)

I've noticed that SickBeard marks the episodes as Wanted, but never sends the file to SABnzbd. I've confirmed that the file is on NZBMatrix, but I still have to manually get the file, add it to SABnzbd and mark it to be post-processed by SickBeard. It used to work fine before. The log shows this:
Unable to find a download for Game.of.Thrones.SxxEyy.<episode name>
There are no entries about there being a problem with NZBMatrix, and I've even changed my API key for good measure.

I'm not a noob to this, just wondering if anybody else has been having similar issues with GoT or any other shows.
 
I think if u update the show it should fix it? My top gear was doing this, just updated show details and it worked!
 
I download HD GoT using sickbeard index, womble's index and nzbmatrix. Have not had any issues at all - apart from with thetvdb.com itself which seems to break off http connections halfway through when updating a show with many episodes - frigging annoying!
Latest GoT was complete at 7 on monday morning...
 
Happened to me also, but with all shows. It wasn't checking for new shows every 60 minutes like it should, I restarted and now it looks fine again.
 
I agree with Freaksta - my GOT's are coming down and sorting normally (Astraweb). Remove and re-add has sorted similar problems on my side in the past.
 
Restart, remove, re-add, add more search providers, set episodes as wanted.

My search providers in order: Sick Beard index, newzTown, nzbsa, Womble's Index.
newzTown and NZBSA use newsnab APIs.

Most shows are snatched from Sick Beard index.

I only use nzbs.org and nzb.su

Most of my nzbs are grabbed from nzbs.org, never have problems with their nzbs. Nzbmatric however have bad nzbs on a regular basis so completely dropped them.

Now I am aware that registrations for nzbs.org are closed and I don't have any invites yet, but nzb.su is still open, and run the same software that nzbs.org used before their rewrite.

Lastly, never have any problems with most of my shows, its only the newzealand shows that are a bit akward, but they come with time.
