Completed Download Handling with Remote Mapping and Re-Encode - SOLVED!

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5054
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): N/A
OS: Windows Server 2016

I don’t believe logs are necessary at this time - more of a workflow question / issue.
Description of issue
Having an issue getting Completed Download Handling working properly with my setup. I have a remote download server that runs sabnzbd. I have Sab place my files in a “downloaded” directory after they complete. From here I have a custom processing script run that picks them up, renames the downloaded file to match its parent directory (to handle obfuscated releases), and then re-encode the file using HandBrakeCLI. The re-encoded file is then placed in a “completed” directory. In Sonarr I have a Remote Path Mapping set up so that the “downloaded” folder configured in Sab maps to the “completed” directory that Sonarr has access to . In my mind this should work, as Sonarr will see the download has completed, and the file will show up in the directory that is “mapped” once the encoding completes, however it doesn’t seem to be working. None of the files that are showing up in my completed directory are being post-processed. Any ideas?

Remote Path Mapping set up as follows:
Host: downloader (same as how its configured as the host in the download client)
Remote Path: /mnt/media_scratch/Downloaded/TV/ (where SAB is configured to place its downloads)
Local Path: W:\Completed\TV\ (where HandBrakeCLI places its output, and Sonarr has access)

Are the files in a single folder or is there one folder per download? (Hint: they need to be in a folder per download, same as SAB originally put them).

Activity: Queue should give some insight why it’s not working (hove over the icon on the left).

Ah hah! They are currently all in the single folder. I’ll have my process create individual folders and plop them in there and see if that makes any difference. I just took a peek at the activity queue and I think you’re right on the money. If this works I’m going to be super pumped!

That did it, thank you so much!
