Weird post processing issue

Hi, I've got a pretty simple setup, I've been using it for years now. I run sickbeard to grab tv shows, and sab to download and do a simple post processing.

When a tv show has finished downloading, the file should be placed at z:\downloads. The issue that I'm running into is that @midnight always downloads with a subfolder. So the video file ends up in g:\downloads\at.midnight.yyyy.mm.dd.720p.HDTV.x264-YesTV

I don't keep the shows that I watch, I usually just watch them and delete them, so I like to keep the z:\downloads folder pretty clean, and Windows Media Center doesn't facilitate deleting folders from within the app, so I'd like to figure out how to get @midnight to download without subfolder.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated :)

Please read the remark at the top of the Config->Folders page.

Help me understand how that applies. I've got Completed Downloads Folder set to z:\downloads . All other shows behave as desired.

Assuming you're using a separate category for non-SickBeard downloads,
add an asterisk at the end of that category path.

That note is at the top of config > categories.

Oops, you're right.
