I’m a newbie with Docker but like it so far.

I’m adapting [https://github.com/htpcBeginner/AtoMiC-ToolKit-Docker/blob/master/docker-compose-basic.yml](https://github.com/htpcBeginner/AtoMiC-ToolKit-Docker/blob/master/docker-compose-basic.yml) for my own use but I’m getting a YAML parsing error that I don’t understand and would like some help.

The error I’m getting is:

```
clint@homeserver ~/docker $ docker-compose up -d
ERROR: yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block collection
  in "./docker-compose.yml", line 82, column 7
expected <block end>, but found '<scalar>'
  in "./docker-compose.yml", line 84, column 32

```

My \*.yml is below:

```
# /home/clint/docker/docker-compose.yml

Try with `"/media/Media/TV Shows:/tv"`. YAML is quite tricky for beginners, you should use an editor with built-in validator.
