Drone Factory Going away Question

Help & Support
#1

I am currently using drone factory to scan a directory after I transcode a downloaded file from NZBGet.

Steps are below:

  1. Download file from NZBGet into a folder called d:\TV.
  2. Use a program to transcode the file into another format and put in folder d:\TV-2, deleting original in D:TV.
  3. Used Drone Factory to scan D:\TV-2 and import/transfer the files to the server.

I can’t currently figure out a way to get it to work without Drone Factory, what am I missing?

Thank you for the help.

‘a program’ is a bit too ambiguous for me to give a complete answer.

You should look into nzbToMedia, it’s a nzbget post-processing script.
What you could also do is perform the transcode in-place during a pp-script, Sonarr won’t try to import till nzbGet reports that the pp-script has finished.

The conversion program is MCEBuddy, it has a nice frontend that I can control the options of the transcodes that I use and also have different transcode options for TV compared to movies.

I will look into NZBtoMedia.

Here’s a topic with MCEBuddy, but then for external PVR instead of transcoding. Might be useful for you if nzbToMedia doesn’t work out.
