SOLVED: Automatic sorting?

Post by nassassin »

I have been using sabnzbd for a long time, works perfect with sickbeard, nothing to really complain about!

Say I have 3 folders, Movies, TV Shows, Music and I have 3 Categories ( http://localhost:8080/config/categories/ ) setup for each of them. I can start a music download and from Sabnzb I can select Music from the category window and make them download to the folder I setup in the category page manually.. But is there any way to automate it somehow and have sabnzb detect that I am downloading from the "Music" section of NZBMatrix to automatically put that download in the Music folder?

I know there is couch potato..But the biggest problem I find is when I start a big queue of downloads and forget to select the categories, I have to hunt through my huge download folder for all of the files. So maybe others have wondered the same thing and found something to help with this

Thanks



UPDATE:

So I have figured it out. Not using rss feeds. It's so simple it is ridiculous. I had trouble finding any documentation for this, so heres my guide, if you're using NZBmatrix then this should be good for you, if you're using some other index, I really don't know how that will turn out..

go to:
SABNZB -> Settings -> Categories ..

For example, create a category called movies to your D:\movies folder , the group/index ID you will put movies* ... Now anytime you start a download from nzbmatrix, sabnzb will check and see if the download came from a category on NZBmatrix called Movies* and if it did, then automatically put it in D:\ movies

This is what mine looks like:

For the 3D movies one, I used *Other*. That's because on NZBMatrix it is in the "Movies: Other" category. I couldn't make it Movies* because it would go to my movies folder..
I also used "apps*" and not "applications" as my index tag because on NZBMatrix there is no category to search called Applications..It is called "Apps ..."

Common NZBMatrix

Hi y nassassin :)

there is a way - using rss feeds that are generated by nzbmatrix.

You need to enter nzbmatrix api to your sabnzbd.

Maake rss feed for each category you want to use in sabnzbd
(your rss feed is unde your bookmarks on nzbmatrix)

Last thing is you just add nzb files to your bookmarks and they will be picked up by your rss feeds and downloaded to right categories.

I had some problems setting it up correctly so here is link to thread i started - maybe it can help you to...

Hope my English makes some sence...

BTW. you posted url which can be only accedes from machine on which that url resides (localhost = this machine) and you do not wont people looking at your sabnzbd settings ;)
