Moving folders from download DIR to Complete DIR??

Post by seanvree81 »

SO I’m having an issue when DLing music via NZB. Headphones sends the nzb to SABnzbd and it downloads to my temp directory, once it’s done, SABnzbd then moves it to my Music folder... However, if I already have an artist folder named X how do I set it up to put the newly downloaded album in the X artist folder instead of creating a new artist folder??

Like I said, I’m not sure if this is a configuration problem with Headphones or SABnzbd. Here are my current settings:

Headphones config:
/Download settings:
Music download directory:
C:\nfs\torrents\music

/post processing:
[selected]:
Move download to destination folder
Raname files
Delete leftover files
Destination directory: C:\NFS\music

/advanced settings:
Folder format: $Artist

SABnzbd config:
Temp download folder:
C:\NFS\torrents\incomplete
Completed folder: c:\NFS\torrents
Watched folder: C:\NFS\torrents

Nothing set in Sorting

Do I have this set up right?

SABnzbd cannot do what you ask for.
SABnzbd only has some basic support for sorting out series (season/episode).
It doesn't know the concept of "artists".
When it comes to music, you need Sonarr to put items in the right folders.
