Sabnzbd doesn't clean up after downloads have finished.

Post by kalel786 »

Hi everyone.

I have a problem.

Basically.

I've set up Sabnzbd with Sickbeard, it works fine.

This is how it goes.

1.) Initiate download on Sickbeard.
2.) Sabnzbd starts downloading file.
3.) Sabnzbd then moves TV show to directory of my choosing.

But it doesn't seem to cleanup the files!

I've included pictures of my settings.

I've tried .nfo .nzb .srr & nfo nzb srr but it refuses to delete them.

Could someone help me?

I seem to have found a similar problem.

http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?t=3472

there's a script I copied it into a txt file and saved it as cleanup.cmd, put it into the sab directory in a folder called scripts and set sabnzbd to read scripts from that folder.

I'm guessing I did it wrong.

I figured it out now!

Yaaayyyy! :-D

Onto my next problem!

When I download a TV show.

It downloads it then it then it puts it inside a folder!

For example if I download

Desperate housewives s01e01

It puts it into a folder called desperate housewives (which is fine) but then makes another folder for the the episode s01e01, how do I just make it move it into the parent folder and not into individual folders.

If you get what I mean?

The cleanup list is a comma-separated list. So: nfo, nzb, par2 or .nfo, .nzb, .par2

For the other question: look at the Config->Sort page where you can specify what you want.

When does this cleanup take place? after sorting?

Before and after, it cleans up unpacked junk as well.
