SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

I have been trying to get sabnzbd to integrate with meta after the developer implemented a feature I requested. Meta browser runs in the background and monitors a folder to be created with format Moviename (Year) with a valid movie file inside, and will automatically download the meta data, covers, and a backdrop for mediabrowser. This works perfectly when I create a folder and then copy the file in, or when I copy a a folder that already has a movie in it. However, when I let sabnzbd extract the download to the monitored folder directly, the program will not find it.  The dev of meta browser has gone thru about 5 updates since implementing this feature and I still just cannot get these two programs to play together.

When I let sabnzbd extract directly to the monitored folder (H:\Movies, so for example H:\Movies\Planet of the Apes (1968) it will not work.
If I then copy the Planet of the Apes (1968) folder to the desktop, delete the original, and then copy it back, it will work.

Why is this happening? Any insight is appreciated...

Oh and if it helps....metabrowser can be found at www.mediabrowser.tv - there is a forum for them there.

metabrowser developer:
Yeah, i don't know what it could be....
Try to ask them exactly what the process is when it's moving the directory over....and how it's doing it...

For example, does it create a temp folder in your monitored location first, copies the movie over, and then renames it?
Or Creates a temp folder, renames it, then moves the movie?

I'll try to tinker with it, but from my end renaming/moving/copy or cut & pasting work fine...

When unpacking we create a temporary folder to unpack the contents to:
c:\downloads\_UNPACK_Name of download\
then after all the rar sets have been unpacked, we rename the folder to
c:\downloads\Name of download\
