How do you set your sabnzb+ to get folders, which xbmc can use?

most users have a folder structure like this:
tv shows
- lost
-- s01e01.avi

or
tv shows
- lost
-- s01
--- so1e01.avi

sabnzb+ doesn't overwrite the unpacked rar-files.
this results into fodlers like:
tv shows
- lost
- lost.1
- lost.2

my workaround is to use the automatic renaming.
now i have one root folder for every tvshow. and one extra folder for every single episode.
it works ... but it's kind of "ugly".
tv shows
- lost
-- s01e01
--- losts01e01.avi
-- s01e02
--- lost s01e02.avi

how do you setup your sabnzb+? or do you just use another way to unpack?


p.s.:
i've tried to post this in "offtopic" but i don't have the rights to post there ?!?

The best thing to do is have SAB extract\unpack the show to an "extracted" folder, which sickbeard monitors. It will then take care of the rest for you, as well as downloading future episodes of your favourite shows.

Have a read about it here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=63591

It will answer all your prayers and more!

Sickbeard is an amazing piece of software. I highly recommend it.

Also, give Couch Potato a try. It has a firefox/chrome addon to automatically add movies to the queue from websites like the IMDB.

Ohhh, you've been missing out! SickBeard and CouchPotato rock my world (and get you extra brownie points with the WAF!)

Use SickBeard. Problem solved.

Anything else is just shooting yourself in the foot for no reason.

What's the name of this Firefox add-on?

It's a UserScript, if you're on Chrome you can add this without installing an addon as it supports JavaScript addons standalone. For Firefox you'll need to install something along the lines of Greasemonkey. You can then install the script from inside Couch Potato from what I remember.

There's alot of cool UserScripts out there so take a look around http://userscripts.org

sickbeard is quite perfect ... if you need your tvshows in english.
any other language isn't supported. or did i miss something?

You could download your shows in german using RSS feeds and still let SB process them.

I use sickbeard but I still use sabnzbd for sorting my TV there is no problem with using any directory structure you like

I use

TV Show\Show Name\Season 1\Show.Name.S01E01.720p.ext

In sabnzbd for TV sorting I use the string below and "+Delete" for processing

Code:

%sn/Season %s/%s.n.S%0sE%0e.720p.%ext

without the 720p tag its

Code:

%sn/Season %s/%s.n.S%0sE%0e.%ext

which gives you

TV Show\Show Name\Season 1\Show.Name.S01E01.ext

You can also use

Code:

%sn/Season %s/

which just then unpacks to

TV Show\Show Name\Season 1\

Say if you wanted to run another renamer from a script in sabnzbd I've used this method to tag SD and HD differently I used the app below for this as its very simple but effective

Sickbeard gets its info from tvdb so its not only English thats supported if its on tvdb then you wont have a problem using it

I've tried both ways this weekend.
In the end, it doesn't work without the help of sickbeard.
It now does all the postprocessing (except unrar, which is done by sabnzbd+).

Here is my (german) guide:

Now it is complete "Hands Free".

Thanks for all your tipps.
