stop SABnzbd from downloading files into a folder named after the nzb file

[steve51184]

i'm trying to edit the script to rename the .avi file to the same name as the nzb file but i can't get it to work so far i have:

cd "$1"
rename *.avi $2

I suggest that you Google for Unix Shell on the internet.

This is a good starting point: http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/

not really what i was asking :\

rename *.avi $2

This is not going to work.
What may work is:

Code: Select all

mv *.avi "$3.avi"

Restriction: there should be just ONE avi file present.

will give that a try thank you

also that other script sometime doesn't work and will just move all the 15mb rar files into my complete folder

[shypike]

RAR-files ? That means either you did not select the "D" option or the par2 verification failed.

the par2 verification failed but can i have the script run only if the job completes 100%?

[shypike]

That's what the option "Post-process only verified jobs" in Config-Switches is for.
You need to set it to On to prevent further post-processing (including user-scripts) of failed jobs.

The next release will also add the prefix _FAILED_ to the folder of a failed job.

thanks just the option i needed


also it sounds like you guys have a lot planned for sabnzbd is there any topic that lists some of the things you plan to add?

Does anyone know how to modify this to take advantage of the "move" command in order to save time and temp disk space on large downloads?

Thanks for the original shypike!

Put this text in a file called mover.cmd and use that as the script.

Code: Select all

@echo off
rem Copy all to "complete"

cd /d %1
xcopy . .. /s/e/y
cd ..
del /s/q %1
rmdir /s/q %1

This is the last time, I'm not a script-writing service.

[shypike]

You're a bit behind.
Current releases allow you to add an * to the end of a category path.
This will prevent the creation of a folder per NZB.

Thats what I thought but I kept getting an error every time I tried...

One of my paths is "Y:\HDTV". When I try adding an * to make "Y:\HDTV*" I get the error below

<snip>
Incorrect parameter

Cannot create dir folder Y:\HDTV*

You must be using an older version.
It's supported starting at 0.6.4, but we recommend 0.6.9

That's the weirdest thing because I just started using sabnzbd tuesday and started at v0.6.9

*edit
I'm using the windows version, is it possible there may be a difference in syntax? Maybe I need to put a space between the path and the *?

[shypike]

No. In fact there should be no attempt to create the folders when you enter them.
Be aware that the * only works for category paths, including the "Default" category on Config->Categories.
It does not work for the "complete" path as set in Config->Folders.
