TV shows not sorting to correct directory.

Post by FordRacer888 »

Hey Guys,
I've recently run into a problem with SABnzbd, when it extracts and sorts the TV shows that I download, it doesn't put them into the correct folder(O:\Downloads\TV Shows\).
What is happening is that it's extracting to C:\TV Shows\. It downloads all the other files properly, to the correct folder (O:\Downloads\), but for some reason it places the TV Shows on a completely different drive to what I have set. (BTW I have not set C:\ as a directory at all, rather I have my incomplete downloads at C:\Downloads\Incomplete\. That is the only reference to C: there is).
It is sorting them out the way I want (and have set), but just placing them on the wrong drive.

Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks,

Oh, and I have used SAB before, on a previous install of windows, but since I upgraded my computer, I wanted a 64bit operating system and decided a fresh install would be best. On the previous install I had everything working correctly, (and I'm sure the settings were no different to what they are now).

You're giving no details about your setup.
That makes it hard to give any feedback on this.
What do your Category and Sort setup look like?

Sorry about that.
I'm not using categories (all my nzbs come from an rss feed from NZBMatrix), but the sort string I am using for the TV shows is (/Tv Shows/%sN/%sN - %sx%0e.%ext)

You start your sort expression with a slash (/), which makes it an absolute path,
but without a drive letter. SABnzbd will then assume C:

The correct expression would be:
O:\Downloads\TV Shows/%sN/%sN - %sx%0e.%ext
or
TV Shows/%sN/%sN - %sx%0e.%ext
The last one assumes you set o:\downloads as "complete" path.

Thankyou very much. I got rid of the slash, and it is working now.
