I wanted to use two different computers with this - one running SAB, the other running NZBDrone.
The wiki entry says you can’t do it (or shouldn’t do it). Anyway I have it working…
The key was to map a drive with the SAME drive letter as the original drive, then both paths are the same.
For example:
MACHINE1 runs SAB and has a drive called “X:” and SAB dumps the downloaded files into a folder called “X:\TVinc”.
I shared the “X:” drive on my network (for example: \\MACHINE1\xdrive$ but could be anything).
Then on MACHINE2 which runs NZBDrone, I did a persistent map to the share and mapped it to drive X:
So now when SAB tells NZBDrone the path of a newly downloaded file, it uses the path “X:\TVinc\…” and NZBDrone on the 2nd machine looks in that same path, which has X: mapped to \\MACHINE1\xdrive$, and NZBDrone is able to locate and process the file successfully.
Also, as a side note, I’ve left the NZB Drone Factory enabled, because sometimes I manually download files outside of NZBDrone/SAB and just dump the files into the Factory folder and NZBDrone picks up the files and processes them. In this way, I get the best of both worlds. I’ve also tested this successfully.
HTH.
