(REQ) UNPACK files in specified directory

[JohnnyV]

I need a script that will unpack my downloaded files in an alternative "area"; then place the final file in the appropriate folder according to the the "category" settings.
example: Right now if I get a movie it downloads to d:\Temp_downloads. When it's complete, it goes to d:\Videos and creates a folder "UNPACK_MY_MOVIE_NAME", runs the unpacking and then deletes/renames that folder only leaving the movie file.

Is there some way to script this to keep the unpacking in the d:\Temp_downloads then move the completed movie file & folder to d:\Videos???


The issue for me is I have a Movie database service running and monitoring my Video Folder. When SAB creates this "unpack" folder in d:\Videos, the monitor grabs the movie data with the "UNPACK" in the name causing it to not find the correct data.




EDIT: OR..... Is SAB unpacking from the TEMP to the UNPACK Folder then when complete renaming it??? If so, a script to stop that in the movies section.

To what did you set your complete folder in sabnzbd+ ?    d:\video

In this script it moves the files after unrar (and joining)

Just make the complete folder not in the video folder and you will get a clean folder

I did "F:" but the categories setting is set to "d:\Videos" so that over rides it.
I will take a look at this script you linked. Hope this will work!
Thanks

This script is wonderful, but for nix only? And most of my files are not AVI they are also MKV, ISO (rips), and some others. This may not work correctly for me.

I am open to any suggestions. I will keep digging around.

My temp solution for now is to set up an additional "just in" folder, and manually move the completed movie files to "d:\Videos", but that takes away from the goal of complete automation!!!

you can ofcourse always change the avi to also ios and so on.

and not sure if it works on windows , never tried it.
but maybe you can use some things out of it to write your own script

[doubledrat]

this may be the sort of thing you want.  set your unpack directory to be somewhere other than the final resting place that you really want, then create this as a postprocessing script

Code: Select all

set dirname=%1
set dirname=%dirname:"=%
set name=%3
set name=%name:"=%
set dltype=%5

move "%dirname%" D:\videos

of course what you want to do with tv may be different to movies, in which case you need something like

Code: Select all

set dirname=%1
set dirname=%dirname:"=%
set name=%3
set name=%name:"=%
set dltype=%5

if %dltype%==movies move "%dirname%" D:\videos
if %dltype%==tv move "%dirname%" "e:\my shows"

etc

hope that helps

Thank you so much. That was what I came up with too (the idea anyway). I will also be lookign through the fist suggestion also.
Thanks for the help!

Ok I couldn't get that to work correctly in Win2k3 server envoirment. was a complete pain.

So I found a nice solution in case others experiece this issue.

I used the win 2k3 biult in "robocopy" command in cmd.exe with special triggers. It checks for new folders in '_temp' assures that the name/File/Folder does not begin with a '_' (underscore) so when SAB is unpacking a file it will be skipped. ie "_UNPACK_MY MOVIE...". It will also verify the transfer, and resume on any errors.

I added this .bat file to the windows scedualer to run every hour. for 2 days working perfectly.

Just add this code to a text file and save as .bat extention. Add to your scedualer.

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
sleep 5
robocopy \\localhost\_temp\ \\localhost\Videos /E /XD _* /MOVE
cls

\\localhost\_temp\  == Is the folder it will check for new unpacked movies.
\\localhost\Videos == Is the final destination
