Yet another question regarding watch folder and Sickbeard!

Post by koshia »

Hi guys/gals,

Typically I can find answers myself, but this time around it's quite frustrating as my problem is sort of unique.

I have set up sickbeard + couchpotato + headphones with Sabz. It's all working fine and everything's downloading. The only issue I have is with sickbeard + sabz. I want sabz to be able to automatically assign a category when certain shows are set to download. This way I can separate my significant other's crap from mine. The only issue is Sabz keeps auto assigning default to each show that gets downloaded.

I have six categories and each point to a different stored locations.

The watch folder is in /media/drive1/downloads/tv
cat1 = /media/drive1/downloads/tv
cat2 = /media/drive1/downlaods/movies
cat3 = /media/drive1/downloads/music
cat4 = /media/drive2/music
cat5 = /media/drive3/movies
cat6 = /media/drive3/shows

Any help would be appreciated. I think it's something simple, but i'm not grasping it or else i have a miss-configuration some where.

Thanks in advance.

Create sub folders named after your categories in your watched folder.
That's useful for manual upload.
SickBeard has to send along a category, so that would be a SickBeard issue.

Thanks Shypike. I've placed a thread for an added feature to Sickbeard. Getting a better understanding of this.
