SABnzbd Forums

I use Sick Beard to automatically find and download TV episodes. I have Sick Beard set to create the required TV Show folders in the directory /Program Files/Sick Beard/TV Subscriptions. However, I also setup SABnzbd to categorize the Sick Beard downloads under the "new episodes" category. I then set SABnzbd to move all files processed under the "new episodes" category to the directory /Videos/New/TV.

But, this is not working. All files processed under the "new episodes" category are getting moved into the directory /Program Files/Sick Beard/TV Subscriptions.

How can I get all of my new episode downloads from Sick Beard to automatically move into the /Videos/New/TV directory?

Don't use SABnzbd sorting when you use SickBeard.

I didn't. The SABnzbd sorting is disabled. I just use the categories to drop the processed files into new folders.

But, if you are saying not to even do this, then how am I supposed to get Sick Beard to drop all of my new episodes in Videos/New/TV? If I let Sick Beard just drop them into their respective TV Show subfolders (i.e /Program Files/Sick Beard/TV Subscriptions/Sons of Anarchy), then everytime I want to watch my new episodes, I have to go through each one of theses TV subfolders and see if it has a new download in there. That's really inconvenient.

I just want these programs to drop the new downloads into the same folder, so that when I fire up XBMC, I have a list of all of my new downloads. This seems like a simple task. But, it is proving to be most difficult.

If you use SickBeard to do allocation to folders, then don't use SABnzbd's sorting.
At least that what I gather from previous posts
SABnzbd itself is perfectly happy to dump everything in one folder,
provided you enter the right sort expression (that doesn't include the "show name" element).
