mapping values are not allowed here, line x column yPossible cause: You have : somewhere where it's not allowed.
If a series has : in the name, you must put the name in quotes.
Possible cause: name is missing : after it in the below example.
series:
- name
path: ~/name/
Possible cause: Indentation error.
The rule of thumb is that every time a line ends with :, the next line must be indented two spaces more from the start of the word on the previous line. This means that for keys in lists, you don't indent two spaces from the start of the - (dash) on the previous line.
This is invalid:
series:
- name:
watched:
season: 1
This is fixed:
series:
- name:
watched:
season: 1

This may happen when you upgrade your Linux distribution and the Python installation gets replaced with a newer one - for example 2.6 is replaced by 2.7. When you then try to run flexget it will use the newer version of Python, and FlexGet is not installed on that. To fix the problem, just reinstall FlexGet.
