Sab downloading to wrong directory

Post by tucansam »

Hi all,

I have a server with a share called "tv shows." Inside this directory are all of the show directories, ie, "show1," show2," etc.

I have told Sickbeard to download Show1 files to "\\tv shows\show1\" etc. But Sab is putting all episode directories in the root ("tv shows") directory. It downloads to "\\tv shows\show1.ep1," "\\tv shows\show1.ep2" etc.

So basically I have to move files around after each download.

I'm not sure if my config is wrong in Sab or SB.... Any advice?

Thanks.

When using SickBeard, don't use SABnzbd's Sorting.
The rest is a SickBeard issue.

How do I turn off Sab's sorting?

Disable all Sorting in Config->Sorting :)
If it was off already, then it's a SickBeard issue and you should be asking on another forum.
The download report (click entry in History) will tell you where SABnzbd stored things.
