CDH + NZBGet VideoSort, can they coexist, and one other question

Help & Support
1

First, thank you for the great program. A couple of questions I have are:

  1. After importing my existing series into Sonarr, I am having an issue with new episodes being added to the correct folder. The issue is that my existing series folders do not have the year in the folder name. So, when I now download a new episode for an existing series, CDH creates a brand new series folder with a year in the folder name and copies the file to that new folder.

My series folder format is: {Series Title}

Is there a way to stop that from happening? Shouldn’t Sonarr recognize that the series folder already exists and just copy the episode to the proper season folder within the existing series folder?

  1. I use VideoSort for NZBGet to pp my movies. I’m new to all of this and am not sure if it’s possible to have VideoSort pp the movies and Sonarr pp the TV shows. Is there a way to have VideoSort only pp movies and ignore the TV shows, and vice versa for Sonarr?

Thanks!

If you used Import Existing Series it would have linked to the existing folders, if you added each show one by one it would based the folder name off of the series name. You can fix the paths by editing the series, or remove and re-add them).

You need to use categories within nzbget to achieve this (which we recommend regardless), setup a category for movies and only run video sort on that and setup a category for tv and don’t run any scripts on it.

Thanks Markus!

I originally did import all of my series so perhaps the issue is that videosort is the culprit? I just tried again to confirm and the top of the attached picture shows the existing series path. I then downloaded a new episode and after a new series folder (lacking the apostrophe) was generated.

I’m guessing that the issue is likely my config of videosort (?) in nzbget. I do have categories setup in nzbget (Movies, TV, Sonarr) but I’m not quite sure how to tell videosort to NOT process the files downloaded by Sonarr. These are my categories, paths and videosort fields:

And in the Extension Scripts/PostScripts field I do have videosort\VideoSort.py listed.

I think I may have a handle on it. I need to remove videosort from the global PP and add it to the Movies category PP field. I’m trying that now.

Hmm… even though videosort was removed from the global pp list and only listed in the category Movies, the logs show that videosort still activated and did the same incorrect folder generation/move.

I think it didn’t work the last time because the episode was already queued. After saving settings and starting again it looks like it is now working :smiley:
