Drone Factory Folder Question

First of all Great Program.

I am using NzbDrone to keep my series up to date and have a unique setup as follows:

  1. NzbDrone downloads NZB.
  2. Newsleecher uses NZB to download file.
  3. Then I have a script that uses Handbrake to convert to MP4 file.
  4. MB3 then adds the MetaData and transfers the MP4 file to proper location.

The issue I have is I do not know where to set the Drone Factory Folder, so my system has an error warning. I am also having an issue with multiple files being downloaded of the same show since they are not picked up in NBZDrone until I do a manual Series update. I think these two issues are related.

Thanks for the help.

what i would do is point drone factory to the folder where newsleecher DL the file then drone factory will process and move it to where the tv show should live. that’s where it gets tricky, you could have your other scripts pull from this folder process and put it back and then when drone scans it doesn’t tell it look for the download it again.

It depends on the quality of the show, if it doesn’t match what you have set it to it will not grab it. you might have to create a custom profile.

Just my 2 cents

Depends what behavior you want, if you want MB3 to continue to sort your shows, set up Drone Factory to an unused folder, or ignore the error.

If you want drone to sort them, have it move the MP4 files to their final destination and I assume MB3 can then create the metadata (thats how I have it with XBMC/Plex).

The preferred way is to have drone move the files so it sees them as downloaded immediately, otherwise it will show for up to 12 hours as missing (when it does its full scan of sorted files).

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I will try and setup the preferred way you suggested markus101.
