Extra files moving to completed folder. WHY?

Post by dkplayaclub »

I run SickBeard with SabNZBd and for the most part it is working pretty well. One thing I am confused about is the post-processing or sorting of completed files. I am trying to prevent the .sfv, .nzb, .srr files etc. from being copied over to the final directory, but even though I have sickbeard set up no to keep these files, they copy over anyways. Any ideas?

In sickbeard, under config-->post processing, uncheck the "Move Associated Files" check box.

In SAB, under config-->General, specify the files you want deleted (.sfv, .nzb, etc.) in the "cleanup list" field.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I had it set up in SickBeard, but I had missed the "cleanup list" field in sabnzbd.

No problem, I was having the same issue and since I had SAB handling the post processing with a SAB to sickbeard script sickbeard wasn't doing the cleanup.
