I have been using Sabnzbd for years and Categories have always worked. I have notice since nzbmatrix stop, then the Categories doesnt work anymore.
my settings are following:
Default /volume1/download/complete
Category = books - Path =/volume1/Ebooks - groups / indexer tags = books
Category = console - Path = /volume1/download/complete/Console - groups / indexer tags = Console
and I do this with other Categories...but when I look into a Completed download, Category says * and nothing is put into the folders..
I know that this work before..what has changed? Everything is put into the Default folder.
If anybody has any tips, I would be grateful
thanks

Re: Categories not working
Categories only worked for you because SABnzbd translated nzbmatrix categories to yours.
Many indexers don't have categories or at least have no way of communicating them to SABnzbd.
Find out first what your new indexer supports.

Re: Categories not working
When i go into a nzb on the site, it shows Categories for exemple Movie-> hd or TV ->hd
I thought that it was from there that it Found which Category to sort from. Is there Any Way around this?

Re: Categories not working
In what way would these categories ever reach SABnzbd?
Very few websites embed their categories into their NZB files.
Which indexer do you use and how do you get the NZB files into SABnzbd?

Re: Categories not working
I use a few different index sites..but my prime site is nzb.su and have my own private site using newznab. I get nzb via API or RSS feed.
But if you look at the nzb file on the site, they are in Categories. I thought that this is where sabnzb was getting it from. So I guess Categories are kinda of useless.

Re: Categories not working
If a site supplies its categories in its RSS feeds, then SABnzbd may pick them up.
That's how it worked with nzbmatrix.
Ask your indexer to embed categories into the NZB files.

Re: Categories not working
I'm going to ask I dumb question....how do you do that? I'm asking because I also have my own private newznab server and would like to be able to do that
Re: Categories not working
When using RSS, your feed should have records that carry an attribute called "category".
Embedding in NZB files is like this:
Embedding in NZB files is like this:
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.1//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.1.dtd">
<nzb xmlns="http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/2003/nzb">
<head>
<meta type="category">TV</meta>
</head>
Re: Categories not working
And this has to be done for each nzb? Ouch...out of league
Re: Categories not working
OK...I found the solution for this problem...I asked on the newznab irc and they knew just what to do.
in Sab go to config -> Categories -> Groups / Indexer tags
type in Cat*
for example
Movies*
books*
xxx*
tv*
for sub folders it´s Cat*Subfolder
