Confused about Config / Categories

Post by AtariBaby »

Version: 0.6.10-osx
OS: OSX 10.7 (Lion)
Install-type: (OSX dmg)
Skin (if applicable): (Default)
Firewall Software: Little Snitch
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

So is this page for moving from Usenet/Complete to various folders, like XBMC folders, once Sabnzbd and Sickbeard have done their things? Should tv be the only directory with sabtosickbeard.py as the script?

I'm very new to all this and confused about just how to make this page work.

I read here: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?t=9238 and enabled movie sorting, but not TV sorting, since I think Sickbeard is doing that, and I also have ViMediaManager to make the files XBMC friendly.

Well, I hope I got most of that right. God this stuff is hard!

Categories are used to define specific post-processing for jobs.
Per category you can set storage paths and scripts.
So for TV you would set the SickBeard script.
This means that you tell SickBeard to send NZB to SABnzbd with the category set to TV.
At the the end of an TV job, SABnzbd will call the SickBeard script.
For other stuff you would set other categories.
Next you tell on page Config-Sorting to which categories your sorting methods apply.
