Moving files I don't want moved

I’m using Sonarr and uTorrent to download my files. Once complete I have iflicks 2 adding metadata and then converted it to M4V. I have sickbeard moving the files but I am also having the AVI and MKV files moved to the folders. I just want the M4V files moved but it isn’t doing it. Is there a way to target what file to send the episodes to using Sonarr instead of having to run Sick Beard.

Sonarr will import any valid video files in the folder, there is no way to select which extension to import. If your script cleans up the original files you can have Sonarr import the m4v file only (as it will be the only one there).

Well I was reading that Sonarr monitors that they file is downloaded completely then it moves it to the correct file. Is there a way that it can monitor another folder that holds the completed iflicks file that is converted to the M4V?

You could use Drone Factory, but it’s the deprecated import method and won’t be available in v3. The BEst way to do it would be to use the Sonarr API and have a script tell Sonarr to update, which will also prevent Drone Factory trying to import before the conversion finishes.

I’m not really sure how to go about that. Just some way to delay and scan the finished file?
