Path is not a Valid Windows Path error

Help & Support
1

Hi,
I am getting the same error but not using any notification scripts. It is possible I entered an incorrect path when originally setting up. Is the path stored in some config file somewhere? or the DB? Currently everything else is working great and much better than SickBeard ever did.
NZBDrone on Windows VM accessing FreeNas Cifs share via UNC. The correct path is set in Drone Factory.

System.ArgumentException: value [/mnt/completed_dl/tv2/Downton Abbey.5x02.720p HDTV x264-FoV] is not a valid Windows path. paths must be a full path eg. C:\Windows

First off, you don’t want to use drone factory except for files that you need to import manually, use Completed Download Handling (CDH). Looks like your SAB/get is remote, is that correct? If so, you need to add a remote Path mapping, you can do that at the bottom of the download client settings page.

Host will be the same as the host your download client uses, remote path will be /mnt/completed_dl/tv2/and the local path will be the UNC path you use to access that path.
