SABnzbd Forums

I'm using 0.4.11 with Mac OS X 10.5.6 and I'm having trouble with user defined categories.

Downloaded +unpack +delete movies are ending up in the Downloads/Complete folder and not in my user defined folder.  My user defined folder is on an external drive.  I have the Folder/Path set to:

/Volumes/Feature Films, TV, Software not backed up/Movies

I copied and pasted this into my Finder, Go to Folder dialog box and the path is valid.  The external drive is set to "Ignore Permissions".  Is it the spaces or commas giving it trouble?

I'm not sure about that.  How does sabnzbd know what category a nzb belongs to?  I thought it was from the name of the usenet group.

There are several ways:
- Derive it from the newzbin.com category (but only if you use newzbin).
- Derive it from the groupname (if you specify the group in the category definition)
- You set it manually when uploading it to SABnzbd
- You can select it when the job is already in the queue
- You can add a prefix to the NZB name when you us the watched folder
    Suppose you have a category "tv", you can name an NZB file "{{tv}}My Favourite Show.nzb".
    That job will have the name "My Favourite Show" and have the category "tv".

Been playing around with this. 

Probably the easiest way is to drop the file into predefined folders with the category name.  But, Safari does not allow you to select a folder.  It only allows you to specify a single download folder in Preferences.  So, another reason to switch to Firefox. 

Thanks for all the suggestions.  I will try them out to see which one works best in the long run.  Lovin this program.  I've mothballed Unison.
