How can I have completed Movies move to a network drive?

Post by rizzlerick »

Hello,

I keep trying to figure out how to have my movies move, and I just dont understand why it doesnt work or where I can find errors that might help me figure it out.

Basically I use Sabnzbd & Sickbeard for my TV shows - this works great as sickbeard processes all the completed shows and moves them perfectly.

But for Movies I like to just grab the nzbs and put them in my watched folder. Sab downloads and unpacks them fine to my completed folder (I:\Downloads\complete). But it never moves them to my network drive.

To do so I thought I just had to set up the categories section, which I have set as Category Movies, with Folder/Path as \\CISCO30785\Movies (which is where I want them). But nothing ever happens, and theres no errors if I click on view log.

So maybe Im just confused as to what the categories section does? Is this possible to even do, or do I need to use CouchPotato (which just annoys me bc I cant get it to ever download the exact nzb I want it to)

Thanks

Do you actually give the jobs the category "movies"?

Hmm, how do I assign jobs to Nzbs that I just download to my watched folder?

See footnote 2 of this page: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-directories-v2
Or use category mapping (works only for nzbmatrix and newzbin),
as described in the second half of this page: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-categories
The RSS section has even more options.

Thanks for that info

It didnt work for me by creating a Movie folder inside my NZB watched folder though, it still loaded them all up as Default.

So i just changed my Default category to transfer it over to the network drive as I only ever do manual downloads on movies anyways it works out

If you have a case-sensitive file system the folder should be called "movies"
instead of "Movies".
