unrar videos to separate directory?
« on: December 07, 2012, 02:45:26 am »
Anybody know of a way to have files of one type automatically unrar (or move) to a separate directory from all others?

In this case I want my video files to be sent to my Network Attached Storage, so my Boxee Box can see them without my computer being on to share them, but I don't want program setups or any other type of file to be sent there.  I'd love to find a way to automate this, so I don't have to change settings on each file, or go move it manually after each download. 

Suggestions?

There are a few options:

1. Setup > Categories: here you can specify unrar folder based on keywords or regex of the NZB name automatically at the pont of adding to the queue.

2. RSS also includes options for specifying unrar directory per matched item.

3. If you want even more flexibility, it's easy enough to write a batch script and set it for Execute on Completion. Use a bit of Powershell magic, and you can even rename, sort into folders, etc.
