Rss feed filters to put tv shows and movies in separate folders

Hi guys,

I have tried searching but couldn't seem to get the answer i was looking for. I have an account on NZBMatrix that puts the nzb's i select into a rss feed which SAB then retrieves. I basically have this as i like to que things from my phone and its the easiest way to just que what i want. I know there are probably better ways but this suits me just fine. Now i mainly que TV shows and Movies with this feed. What i want to do is to try and use the filter tool to select which category and thus what folder my downloads are extracted to. I was thinking the easiest way to differentiate between tv shows and movies would be to filter anything with either S0, S1 and S2 (basically covers any tv show that is season 1-29 inclusive) as a tv show and then somehow get everything else put into the movies folder. Is that possible? Whats the best way to do it?

Cheers guys :)

Define your own categories with folders (Config->Categories).
Next you put the nzbmatrix categories in the newzbin/group column.
You can use wildcards.
Example
TV      d:\download\TV        TV*
The last one TV* will match any nzbmatrix category starting with TV to your "TV" category.

I have been struggling with the same thing and those categories do not work. Nzbmatrix does not have the group with nzb file.

I finally figured this out. You cannot download the nzb yourself you must let sabnzbd download it for you. In the Group column you have to label it mnovies.* or movies.hd whatevver you want. I also used therenemer to launch in sielent mode whenever a download is complete. This is the best setup ever.
