Whenever sabnzbd downloads and proceses a tv episode from sickgear I get a temporary files being created in my main series folder and not being cleaned up.
What's the correct setup in categories section?
I am running both on ubuntu server. Sabnzbd v2.1
Sorry can't post examples yet I am new.

What kind of temporary files?
What have you set in sabnzbd folder settings for Incomplete?

Re: Correct setup with Sickgear
This is my incomplete directory in folder settings:
home/user/downloads/incomplete
Series/tvShow/Season 06/....
This is the temp file in my series folder. I think the sabtoSickbeard script when it fails to rename it leaves it):
Series/tvShowEpisode.S06E02.HDTV.x264-FLEET
home/user/downloads/incomplete
Series/tvShow/Season 06/....

Ah, that script is not part of SABnzbd but of Sickbeard, you will have to ask for support there!

Re: Correct setup with Sickgear
Ok. But would is it possible if there was a problem with the script then sabnzbd would copy the downloaded files to the path location specified for the category?
Re: Correct setup with Sickgear
I have tested the theory and yes this is what happens.
If the post processing script fails for some reason ie. execute permissions. (I had put a syntax error in my script for my test) the episode directory got copied to the final path in the category . I would have prefered it to remain in home/user/downloads/complete if the script fails.
Is this expected behaviour?

Re: Correct setup with Sickgear
It is expected behavior that it gets copied to where you said it should go, if you set "Series/tvShow/Season 06/...." in your Category settings, SABnzbd will do as it's told.

Re: Correct setup with Sickgear
Ok. So after doing a little investigation and help from sickgear irc channel I finally have got the correct setup .
In categories the folder path cannot be the final destination because the sabtosickbeard script will put it in the final path So I made the folder pat different to where I normally have my tv series repository.
I set it to tvshows so that sabnzbd downloads it to /home/user/downloads/complete/tvshows then the sabtoSickBeard script renames it and copies it to the correct folder /Series/tvshow.
