SABnzbd Forums

Hi everyone,

I've been using SABnzbd for a very long time now and it's one of the tools I can't live without by now. That said I still have a problem, which I can't solve:

The categories are responsible for different handling of files and sorting them to a corresponding folder in the "complete" folder structure (lets call this folder /complete/)

If I download something that corresponds to the TV category AND have TV sorting enabled my episodes get sorted into

/complete/TV/[Show]/[Season]/[Episode]

In TV Sorting I can change this to any other sorting scheme BUT it resides inside the /complete/ folder...

That's not what I want though...all shows should be moved to /video/TV (an example)

It's possible now to set my "complete" folder to /video/ and then sort from there BUT I only want the avi/mkv/etc files and nothing else - which often is inside the nzbs...like nfos/nzbs/etc

Same with Movies: I would like my movies to be extracted into the "complete" folder structure, renamed, and ONLY the main mkv moved to /video/Movies

How do you guys solve this?

The question would be: Is this solvable with SABnzbd standard functionality. Should I use a post processing script? Does the script I need already exist?

Many thanks

Do you need anything left over in the "complete" folder?  If not go into General and paste the following in the cleanup list:

.nfo, .sfv, .nzb, .srr

To get the leftover mkv/avi/etc file to the correct destination, just go into Categories and setup "movies" and "tv" with the correct path in the "folder/path" field.  For example, C:\Movies or C:\TV Shows.

A recent convert from alt.Binz, so please be gentle...

I too am having this issue, for clarification I have pasted the cleanup as above which works great, however I am also getting the new structure within my 'Complete' folder.

My layout is as follows:

Files extract to f:\newzbin\complete

I would then like to move them depending on what they are to the following:

E:\TV Series
D:\Films

Within the TV Series are subfolders based on TV Show and then Season - e.g. 24\Season 1\24 - 01 - Episode 1.mkv.

So the full path for the above show would be: E:\TV Series\24\Season 1\24 - 01 - Episode 1.mkv

Now as it it stands, the folder structure is being created perfectly, but within the F:\Newzbin\Complete folder.

Within the Categories section I have:

D:\Films for the folder/path for movies (nothing else is changed, so post processing etc are left at default)

E:\TV Series for the folder/path for TV

Are my slashes the wrong way round or is it more complex than that (I have tried both ways and it doesn't seem to make any difference...)

Hmm, i've just been reading some other threads and it seems to suggest that the reason it may not be working could be that i'm no longer using Newzbin.... the data comes direct from a feed from mytvnzbrss.com

Balls

I guess my problem mainly was a misunderstanding:

The configuration dialog states (on top) that all RELATIVE folder settings will point to a folder inside the "complete" folder structure...

I am guessing now that giving an absolute path would make it possible to put the files somewhere else...and that would solve all my problems

Or you could just create a post-processing script like: "mv $1 /your/folder"
Then you could just move tv episodes or whatever you want by a associating it with a category.
