Unpacked files are gone (/ vs \ problem?)

[Pedro]

I configured the RSS filters to download the colbert report.

Download, PAR2 and log look ok but in the destination folder there are only the par2 and the nfo file. The unpacked files and the RARs are gone. However, the log states that decoding and unpacking went OK.

here is a part of the log file:

One thing that did catches my eye is thet the destination path for par2&unrar containes / and \. Could this be the source of the problem? Should I use \ only or finish the folder name in the RSS filter with a / or \?

I use the following filter, with 'release name' option off.

The.colbert.report* | A | E:\dvd\daily show

What have you set as your default unrar folder in Setup > PAR2 > Unrar?  I'd check there first for your avi and/or do a Windows Search on the filename

Not sure why you're seeing / instead of \ in the path (I've never seen it in my logs), maybe the space in the folder name is the issue, trying enclosing in quotation marks in the filter, or shortening the folder name.

Could be any one of these, you just need to narrow down the problem a little.

I have the 'unrar to different folder' option off and no folder entered. I normally want the files unpacked in the folder I downloaded them in.

The search was a good tip: the unpacked files were in my default download folder. (even though I did not download them to that folder)

When you use Ctrl-D and the file dialog from the search or the RSS tab it uses '\' including the trailing '\' automatically. So that is why you do not see it. With RSS filters it just uses what you specify in the filter. It seems to work with '/' just as well. (The filter that corresponds to the log was The.colbert.report* | A | E:/dvd/daily show. It seems I pasted an already edited filter in my first post: replacing / with \)

I ran some extra tests and it appears when using the RSS filters you need to specify a download and an unrar folder.
With my setup it downloaded to the specified download folder, but even though 'unrar to different folder' option was off, Altbinz unpacked the files to my default download! folder. Instead of unpacking to the specified download folder, as it should.

So I should have used:

The.colbert.report* | A | E:\dvd\daily show\ | A | E:\dvd\daily show\

(The trailing \ does not seem to be necessary)

Hecks, thanks for the help.
