Help With Simple TV Series Sorting

[shypike]

Could this why the sorting for movies was also giving issues too?

No, different cause. But that will be solved too.

i used http://packages.synocommunity.com to install your software, as i wasn't sure how to do it, using terminal etc.

[shypike]

In that case you probably have to have quite a bit of patience.

[darkromz]

not one of my strong points lol. I might get on the other forum and see if they can update at there end?

[darkromz]

Finally upgraded and it seems the sorting is fixed on tv nzb's well tried a couple that didnt work before and working now. i will keeping testing and update you on that.

However i just did a move using

movies/%title (%y).%ext

and it still doesnt work, creates the folder as the movie title, and then just dumps all the files within that. : /

0.7.3 works for me.
Do you have an example of an NZB that doesn't work properly?

Hi,i have just send one to your email, cheers.

Your NZB works fine for me with "Generic Sorting".
All files are renamed to <title>(<year>).<ext>, without an additional folder.
There's one exception: the sample AVI file, which cannot be renamed because
it would clash with the main AVI file.

So, which version are you using?
Are you using Generic Sorting, did you enable it?
Did you enable at least one category to trigger it and do you assign that category to this NZB?

Hi
im running 7.3.2

In my sorting tab i have my series sorting set which works fine, and then under generic sorting i ticked the "enable movie sorting" the sort string i then set "movies/%title (%y).%ext" which under the processed result value shows "movies/Movie Name (2009) CD1.avi"

However after doing this, it was created a folder name labeled "Movie Name (2009)" and within that folder was all the files unnamed.

Did you enable at least one category to trigger it and do you assign that category to this NZB?

not quite sure what you mean regarding this?

[shypike]

SABnzbd selects either "Season Sort" or "Generic Sort" based on which category you assign to an NZB.
So you should have e.g. a "TV" category and a "Movies" category.
You enable "TV" in the Season Sort section and "Movies" in the Generic Sort section.
After that you still need to assign a category to an NZB.
Manually or through the RSS feed setup. Alternatively, SABnbznd can read out the categories of some indexers.
(But you still need to map theirs to yours.)
Important to note: SABnzbd cannot determine on its own whether an NZB is a episode or a movie.

Ah i see, i some times queue over 50 items in one go over night which could be a mixture of both tv and movies, so manually selecting would be quite time consuming for me.

[darkromz]

Just looking at the categories section and was wondering if you could explain things a bit more for me.

You have a field folder/path what part does this play?

i have a watch folder for all nzb's that sabnzbd watches, am i dreaming thinking i could have two folders, tvnzb and movienzb apply each folder to its own category and what every tv programs i want i put them in the tvnzb folder and they are processed as such in the sort tab and like wise with the movies.

[shypike]

You have a field folder/path what part does this play?

Path elements are concatenated.
"complete folder" + "category folder" + "sort expression".
If the "sort" path is absolute (starts with c:\ or just \), the others are ignored. Etc. from right to left.

I have a watch folder for all nzb's that sabnzbd watches, am i dreaming thinking i could have two folders, tvnzb and movienzb ....

If a sub folder in the watched folder is named after one of your categories, all NZBs in that sub folder will be assigned that category.
