SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

SABnzbd noobie here.

I have read so many setup guides which state opoposite instructions on setting up Categories; I am totally confused. Would appreciate some advice.

I have setup SABnzbd to download all media to "C:\downloads\incomplete".

Then I have the following folders "C:\downloads\complete\movies" and "C:\downloads\complete\TV Shows".

Additionally, on a separate drive I have "M:\Media\Movies" and " M:\Media\TV Shows"

I understand when SAB is downloading, the files are temp housed in "C:\downloads\incomplete".

After downloading, I want CouchPotato and Sonarr to process the downloaded files and place them in the appropriate folders on the Media drive.

So, for example: Using Sonarr I select a TV program to download, which is sent to SAB. After downloading, is SAB placing the file in "C:\downloads\complete\TV Shows" and them Sonarr finishes processing or is Sonarr picking up file from "C:\downloads\incomplete"and transferring to "C:\downloads\complete\TV Shows"? I don't know if Category path should be to the incomplete folder or complete folder.

Category: Sonarr
Priority: Default
Processing: Default
Folder/Path: "c:\downloads\incomplete\TV Shows" or should it be "c:\downloads\complete\TV Shows"

Sorry to be so long winded, but wanted to give you as much detail as possible so less confusion.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

External programs always need the "complete" paths.
Usually they are triggered by a user script from which they receive path info.
Otherwise you tell then the category specific complete path.
