I'm using sabnzbd 0.7.14 on my Qnap TS-469L.
I changed all the default folder locations to a different directory and when I manually start any download, everything works as it should.
When sickbeard controls sabnzbd via API, sabnzbd creates a new sabnzbd/cache folder in the default download location.
Is there anything I can do about it?

Did you changes paths of the TV category too?
SickBeard always sets the category to "TV".

Re: Wrong cache folder location when using Sickbeard
Yes, you are right, the category is set to "tv".
But I just checked in my sabnzbd settings, there is no catergory configured.
But however, I will delete the "tv" and see what happens. Thanks for the help so far!

Re: Wrong cache folder location when using Sickbeard
I just figured, that the problem has nothing to do with Sickbeard.
Every time I start up sabnzbd, the sabnzbd/cache folder is created (in the loaction I don't want it).
Does anybody has another idea?

Re: Wrong cache folder location when using Sickbeard
This happens when the set location is not available when needed.
External drive?

Re: Wrong cache folder location when using Sickbeard
no, everthing runs on my Qnap:
Default Base Folder:
/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/SABnzbdplus/Config
/share/Web/sabnzbd/incomplete
/share/Download
/share/Web/sabnzbd/nzb
/share/Web/sabnzbd/scripts
/share/Web/sabnzbd/logs
/share/Web/sabnzbd/nzb/backup
I don't see, where the cache folder is configured.

Re: Wrong cache folder location when using Sickbeard
SABnzbd 0.7.14 doesn't create a cache folder, isn't SickBeard doing that?
Re: Wrong cache folder location when using Sickbeard
I'm pretty sure, that it is not Sickbeard:
I disabled it and everytime I restart sabnzbd the cache folder is created.

Weird, there's still some old code in SABnzbd to support upgrades from older versions.
It should not trigger.
In case it does, you can set it to a dummy location of your liking by editing the sabnzbd.ini file directly.
Just make sure SABnzbd isn't running when you edit.
Look for the "cache_dir" parameter and enter a full path behind it.

Re: Wrong cache folder location when using Sickbeard
I directly edited the sabnzbd.ini and it worked, thanks!
The path was wrong and appreantly your guess regarding the old code was right, it still triggers.
