My NZB search provider (just like binsearch) often puts out .nzb files which lack the proper xml (category) tagging to allow fully-automated category sorting in SAB. On occasion they get tagged properly, my SAB categories kicks in and everything is great. However they sometimes don't get sorted properly and I'm left with a folder full of mixed files - movies, tv shows, ebooks, audio files, etc.
This script accomplishes the following:
* Checks if a SAB category is already assigned before continuing. If already assigned, the download continues without any changes.
* Uses (case-insensitive) regular expressions in a specific order (specific search terms > TV > Movies > Audio) to determine category sorting.
* Individual words are evaluated within the nzb name for pattern matches (ie - the "epub" search won't match with "republic")
* TV shows are evaluated for the (s01e08, S2E14) or (season3, Season02) patterns.
* Movies are evaluated next based on resolution (720p, 1080P, 2160p). If not matching a TV show, it's assumed to be a Movie at this point.
* If all of the pattern matching fails, the download continues without any changes.
This script might not be needed if your categories already work flawlessly and/or you only use Radarr or Sonarr to add content. If you ever search manually, or have to contend with unsorted downloads, this will most likely help with your tv/movie sorting.
This example script below is very tailored to my particular needs, but the pattern matching is not overly "fuzzy" and the tv/movie sorting portion should be very universal. Chances are very good that you can run this script as-is to realize some benefits.
Enjoy!

# 2 - TV search - TV shows have a reliable naming convention (ie - S01E04, or Season2), so searching these first
# 3 - Movie search - likely a movie if the above rules don't apply and it's a video file (ie - 720p, 1080p, 2160p)
# 4 - Audio search - If the above rules don't apply and it has "FLAC" in it's name, it's likely an audio download
# ^^^ Listed last since movie and tv releases sometimes include the word "FLAC" in their release names
# 5 - If none of the above rules apply, allow the download to continue without any changes

UPDATE - Here's a simplified version which only detects/sorts the TV and Movie categories.
The regex for TV shows has also been updated to include the somewhat rare 3x01 format.
Refer to the original script if you need to sort additional categories besides just TV and movies.
