SABnzbd

SABnzbd has been superseded by NZBGet, which is more performant and lighter on resources. SABnzbd remains installable for users who prefer it.

SABnzbd is a Usenet binary downloader. It handles NZB files and automates the downloading, repair and extraction of content from Usenet.

Filebot post-processing script

To run Filebot automatically after a download completes, add a post-processing script in SABnzbd's settings. Create a script file and paste the following, adjusting SUBLANG to your preferred subtitle language:

#!/bin/bash

DOWNLOAD_PATH=$1
NZB_NAME=$3

# Subtitle language
SUBLANG=en

$HOME/apps/filebot/filebot -script fn:amc -non-strict \
    --def ut_kind=multi --log all --log-file amc.log \
    --def "ut_dir=$DOWNLOAD_PATH" "ut_title=$NZB_NAME" \
    --output "$HOME/media" \
    --action symlink --conflict override \
    --def subtitles=$SUBLANG --def artwork=false \
    --def extractfolder="$HOME/torrents/extracted"
