PostProcess converting and factory scan

Help & Support
1

I just recently switched to NZBdrone from SickBeard on my Linux server. (The speed difference is fantastic!)

I have it setup with a postprocessing script in SAB to automatically convert videos to mp4. It works, but if nzbdrone starts to scan while SAB is still processing the file, it moves/renames the original and deletes the new mp4 before it has a chance to finish converting.

Is there something I’m missing that will let me change the scan time or something? I’m guessing I will need to find a way to add a step to the script so it downloads to a separate folder, processes, then moves to the scan folder, just not sure yet.

Figured I’d ask first. :slight_smile:

The scan happens every minute and isn’t configurable, but even if it was, that would Just reduce the chance of this issue from happening.

I’d recommend that SAB runs the post processing within another location and your script then moves the file so drone can sort it. That should eliminate the issues.

Yup, that’s what I figured. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something simple before I did it. lol

Thanks
