SABnzbd Forums

I have Noticed this a lot lately or maybe it has been happening for longtime now and never noticed it
When i Download Something and it has a Destination folder other then the Download folder it make s a copy of it and put's it were you want.This correct but...
Well when it comes to a Video (movie mostly) It Makes the copy but the copy has been flawed and i have had to use my own program to make a copy and move it myself.
When i have made my own copy i check it and it play all the way through no problems
There might be a problem with this Feature

The Download folder>The Destination folder

I have done this Tons of times to check it and it happens a lot but in some cases it don't happen
I added 4 movies to my collection this afternoon.
all 4 movies worked fine from the Download folder but the Copys it made to move it to the Destination folder
were flawed and stoped playing someplace in the movie.
I tryed this on mulitiple player and it was samething

By the way Awsome Software ty its great

Did you do a byte compare of the files?
(Or calculate an md5sum of both files)?
Is the content flawed or is it just a case of access rights?
SABnzbd uses standard OS calls to perform tasks as copying and moving.

Hi Thank you for the Reply so quickly.
I have done a compare on the 2 files and they are both the same
I also used MediaInfo to see if something has changed also.
Like i said before when i Play the File from the Download folder with a video player it play fine and i can skip through it fine to check it.
When i play the copy it,I sometimes cant do this and it will freeze up.
I have seen this alot today mostly and a lot in the paste few weeks
I just made this account today because i realy enjoy your software and i would like to get to the bottom of this.
Back storie:
At first i thought it was my Plex server transcoding issue,
then i thought it was my Roku's
then after all that i narrowed it down this
this and this were im at with it
I use TerraCopy to move them myself and they work fine after
I suppose Windows 7 is using its standard Copy in move program....
Is there a way to make SabNzbd use mine?

Not sure if this problem yet just putting that out there.
a little Food for thought

No idea what can cuse this.
You could maybe try to make a user script that runs the proper copy program.
