Cannot create final folder error W HD on boxee box

Post by peteo »

I have an external HD connected to my boxee box that is mapped on my windows 7 system. I have sabnzb set up on my windows system to put tv shows on this drive. after download i get this error: PostProcessing was aborted Cannot create final folder Y:\Media\TV\"show name"

Not sure why this is happening, I can write & delete fine on this drive with windows. Any ideas?

Your Boxee Box probably does not know what or where "Y:" is. A drive letter like "Y:" is a DOS/Windows things, and your Boxee Box probably does not run Windows (but Linux or so).

Solution: find a drive path notation that is understood by the Boxee Box. I have no Boxee Box (and no Windows), so I can only guess: \\system\share\dire\to\ry\ or \\192.168.1.2.\share\adsf\adsf\asdf or ...

Attention: the share notation is not SABnzbd related, so knowledge / help here will be limited.

Thanks for the reply. SABnzb is running on the Windows machine. the drive is mapped to the windows machine. Boxee box does not need to know any thing. I am just trying to get SABnzb, which is a win32 program, to write the the Y: drive, but I keep on getting cannot create final folder. in windows i can write/delete fine to this drive

Ah, I understand. Strange (although: I have little experience with SABnzbd on Windows with Y: drives). Is Y: the Boxee Box? You aren't running SABnzbd as a Windows service, are you? And SABnzbd is running under your own account? And the Y: has no password?

You could try the UNC format, so something like \\system\share\path\to\directory\

I believe you can test it easily from the CMD box: "DIR \\system\share\path\to\directory\"
