Script post processing unpack/ sort/ convert

New to Freenas and Sab, so just right to it. Is there a script for post processing where I can unpack, sort, and convert media to mp4? I see the location of script folders, but no script for processing. Did look through search, but honestly its a little overwhelming. If there was a previous topic would welcome a link to set up. Thanks.

Normally SABnzbd takes care of everything, including unpacking.
So what additional functionality are you looking for?
Do you want automatic format conversion?
If so, look for tips in the "Development -> Post-processing scripting" section of our forum.

Awesome. Thanks. I keep getting .wma and .avi files that can't be utilized. I was hoping that something could be done to convert these but now I'm thinking they are just empty duds with malware attached. The size looks real enough though. Are they duds or am I just loosing something in the unpacking?

They are most likely fake, unfortunately when you use services like binsearch and nzbindex the ones you can find with an easy search are fake.

You'll need a (paid, usually like $10/year) indexer that has all that hidden content that's not crap and that you can use with Sonarr and CouchPotato.
For example NZBGeek or Drunkenslug let you use their service (limited) for free after creating an account.
