TV Episode Sorting with Repair only

Post by ismell »

Hello,
So I have my TV Category setup to only Repair because I would like to keep the original RAR files.
I was wondering if there was a way to setup TV sorting to put my RAR files inside a folder like

Code: Select all

Show Name\1x05 - Episode Name
I have tried setting up the sorting with the following pattern

Code: Select all

%sn/%sx%0e - %en
but what ends up happening is the the rar files get moved into a folder named

Code: Select all

Show Name\1x05 - Episode Name\Show Name - 1x05 - Episode Name
So I tried changing my pattern to

Code: Select all

%sn
and now my files go into

Code: Select all

Show Name\Show Name - 1x05 - Episode Name
which is still redundant. If I set the TV category to Unpack and use the first pattern I posted, the RAR files get copied to the right directory, but it also extracts them so now I have 2 copies of the episode. So I was wondering if there was a way to make the sorting do that I want ?

Thanks a lot

Sorting doesn't really support keeping RAR files.
You probably have to create your own post-processing script.

Just wondering what the thoughts would be on adding a pattern to the sorting

Code: Select all

%sn/%sx%0e - %en/*
We can use the * to say put all the downloaded files where ever the pattern says and don't create a separate folder.
