confused on who does post processing for tv shows after sab

Post by jang430 »

In sab, under categories, there's The Folder or full path for final storage. Can anyone confirm if this is the final resting place for downloaded TV files?

In Sickbeard, it can do post process, wherein it can help naming convention, and I believe the final path for tv shows as well.

Do we use 1 or the other? Or can both work together to have better organisation of files/ folders? Is the post processing script of sickbeard still necessary in the sab script folder for sab to post process it well? Doesn't sickbeard watch the downloaded folders of sab on it's own?

When you're using SickBeard it's best to let it handle sorting.
The SabtoSickBeard script is used to tell SIckBeard where SABnzbd has placed files and what the result was.
You still have to setup a "TV" category in SABnzbd, because that's what SickBeard expects you to do.
Make sure you couple the SabToSickBeard script to the TV category.

shypike,

Another clarification. Does SB actually move the files from completed download directory of SAB to the final location if i'm using a has such as Unraid (sorry, this is off topic)? Or does the sabtosickbeard script only rename them, but don't move them to proper drive/ folder in nas?

Sorry, this is a mix of unraid (nas) and sab, sickbeard questions. HOpe you are knowledgeable about this.

As far as I know, SickBeard does most of the moving around.
Please check its website.
