Hi,
I have two hard drives, one internal (D:) and one external (G:). I enabled sorting awhile back for both TV and Movies and that worked just fine the way I set it up. Today I discovered that I was running low on space on the G: drive and decided to add two categories for TV and Movies (Movies G: and TV G:). Previously both movies and TV shows were downloaded to the G:/ drive but as it was running low on space I changed the existing categories (TV and Movies) to download to D:/TV and D:/Movies respectively.
In short, this is what my setup in SABnzbd looked like.
Category: Movies G:
Path/Folder: G:/Movies
Group/Indexer Tags: Movies
Category: TV G:
Path/Folder: G:/TV
Group/Indexer Tags: TV
Category: Movies
Path/Folder: D:/Movies
Group/Indexer Tags: Movies
Category: TV
Path/Folder: D:/TV
Group/Indexer Tags: TV
The sort strings I am using are:
TV: %sn/Season %s/%s.n.S%0sE%0e.%en/ (Example: D:\downloads\complete\Show Name\Season 1\Show.Name.S01E05.Episode Name\)
Movies: %title (%y)/%title (%y).%ext (Example: D:\downloads\complete\Movie Name (2000)\Movie Name (2000) CD1.avi)
Now to the problem. I downloaded a TV show using the newly created category TV G:. For some reason the episode was not sorted correctly but instead placed in the root TV folder of G:/TV. I expected it to be sorted in G:/TV/Show Name/Season/Show Name S01E01.
The temporary download folder is set to D:/Downloads/incomplete. The Completed Download Folder option is set to D:/Downloads/complete.
I tried to download a movie using the new Movie D: category and that one was sorted just fine.
Is this a limitation of SABnzbd TV sorting or is there anything I missed in my sort string or setup? Removing the newly added categories (TV G: and Movies G:) resolved the sorting issue (i.e. worked fine as before). Any help appreciated!

Re: TV sorting, categories and 2 HDs - not fully working?
That's because you forgot to tag the new categories in Config->Sorting.
Each Sort type has a "multiple-select" pick list in which you tell to which categories the sort applies.

Aha, so that is how the "affected categories" list works! I thought you selected and inserted the sort string for one category at a time. Thanks for clearing that upshypike wrote:That's because you forgot to tag the new categories in Config->Sorting.
