SABnzbd Forums

Hey,

I got a little issue with the unpacking and an auto-process I got running.

Here's my problem:
All incomplete downloads are stored in a folder called incomplete. Normally they go into a downloads folder once done, except for my TV and Movie downloads, they end up in a folder called convert. That folder is a "hot-folder" that got a folder action monitoring it, converting all MKVs to an Apple TV 2 friendly format. All goes well, except, since the files are named "UNPACK xyz.mkv" while unpacking, the app that does the conversion get the meta-data wrong. The actual conversion goes as planned, but it add the video to iTunes as "UNPACK xyz" instead of just xyz.

So, my question: is it possible to store the UNPACK in the temp dir as well, and only move the files after the unpacking is done?

For this you need to write you own little user script to move
the files to the final destination.
Even if SABnzbd doesn't use temporary names (which is an option),
you'd still get an inconsistent folder during unpacking.
