I've been using Sabnzbd for years now, and all has been working great until I reinstalled in my OS.
Sabnzbd is now all set up and working, but I cannot get it to extract the files directly into the 'Complete' folder, rather than putting in Show Name/file name folders.
My previous set up was extracting tv shows directly into the complete folder and movies into their own named folders within the complete folder. I can get the config settings back to what they used to be. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Help with folder download options
Read the text at the top of Config->Categories.
You probably forgot to add an asterisk to the appropriate folders.
Or you don't have the right Sort expression, if you used that before.

Re: Help with folder download options
Thanks, will check that out.
I'm pretty sure I was using sort expressions before, but I can't get the right one now to get it to what I want, which is frustrating, as I keep having to download something to check it.
Any idea what I need?
I used to just get the nfo, the mkv, any subs, and often the sfv file, but that was it. Now I am getting all sorts of other files, and everything is in individual folders. This is a newer version of sab than I was using too, so maybe that has something to do with it.

You should have saved your sabnzbd.ini file...

Re: Help with folder download options
That is highly useful information now...
Re: Help with folder download options
I guess you had an extension based fiter in Config->General to get rid of the small stuff.
Experiment a bit with the Sort settings; there's a preview mode there too.
More recent versions should have less bugs but not behave different.

Re: Help with folder download options
can you get it remove the \ before the preview as it looks like this will just put it in another folder, rather than just rename it.
Re: Help with folder download options
Don't understand your last remark.
What is the sort expression that you use?

Re: Help with folder download options
Whatever expression I set up, it ends with \ which makes it look like it is creating a folder name, rather than the naming convention for the file.
