_UNPACK_ folder not deleted

[ceevee]

Using 0.4.12 on Windows XP. I have TV sorting enabled as ' %sn/ '. I just want the folder name of the TV show created, with no file name renaming. TV shows are downloaded using an RSS feed with categories enabled. The category is with +delete mode enabled. Category's folder is ' drive:\series '.

When a TV show is downloaded from an RSS feed, the TV show folder is created and the file (which isn't renamed) is put in, BUT the ' _UNPACK_ ' folder is not deleted. The ' _UNPACK_ ' folder is empty. Weird thing is that it doesn't do it every time.

Is this a bug or a misconfiguration on my part?

I get this even without TV renaming. Grabbing stuff off Newzbin seems to occasionally result in a folder with an UNPACK prefix. I've found no reason why it would do it as the pars and rars are all present with no processing errors.

from the logs:

2009-11-03 03:06:33,168::ERROR::[postproc] Error renaming "D:\Videos\TV\_UNPACK_title" to "D:\Videos\TV\title"

Can't see an obvious reason why it would fail.

One of the problems with running under windows is that windows will not allow renaming etc if another program is using the folder.
This could be your anti-virus program.

Right, I've no AV, but it could be windows try to cache thumbnails or index the folder etc. Thanks.

I found out that Windows media player, specifically wmpnetwk.exe, was monitoring my SABnzbd folders. I removed those folders from windows media libraries so they wouldn't be monitored anymore.

Anytime a video file unrar'ed, windows media added the files/folders to the library, which did not allow SABnzbd to rename or move anything at the time.

Solution: remove folders from being monitored within windows media player options. Now there are no more renaming errors.
