Processing movies vs TV shows

Post by crankycowboy »

First, great program. I have used Sabnzbd for quite some time. I typically just download a nzb to the "watched" directory and it picks it up and downloads, processes and places it in the "completed" folder. I have recently started using sickbeard as well. And am letting sickbeard handle post processing of the TV shows. I have this all working well and tied to the "TV" category in sabnzbd. I have TV shows and movies in different folders and then my media server browses one folder to find the TV shows and the other for movies. I would like sabnzbd to keep what it's doing with sickbeard...but I would somehow like to be able to tell it if a nzb is a movie when I place it in the "watched" folder and it automatically post-process, rename, and move to the "movies" folder. Is there a way to keep things configured the way they are and not use post processing for TV, but still post process for movies? I would assume I would have to use categories....but would it involve another script if I don't just want them to go to the "completed" folder and would prefer them moved to my "movies" folder? Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Eric

Just create sub folders in your watch folder that match your catagories
ie D:\Watch\movies    D:\Watch\TV    D:\Watch\Music

Drop your NZB into the right sub folder and SAB will use that bcatagory for sorting etc

Hope this helps
