I seem to always have to go back and clean up after SickRage and CouchPotato after they have been running for a few days because the post processing just leaves behind files. Is there a script that I can somehow schedule that will do this clean up for me automatically? Also I seem to be downloading an awful lot of files through SABnzbd that SR and CP don't recognize (this represents a lot of the junk left behind), can anyone explain why this is likely happening and what I might do to fix it?

There is a file cleanup list in my Sabnzbd configuration guide that should do it, are you using it?

Yes. Clearly I need to add a few file extensions but it is enabled. My problem appears to be with Sickrage. It downloads literally hundreds of files each day that are only identified by what appears to be a guid string which none of the renamers seem to recognize. Did I miss some configuration somewhere or am I just downloading a ton of junk?

If you are primarily using usenet then add the extension of those files to Sabnzbd's cleanuplist, if it is from torrents you will have to code a script to delete the files and specify it as an extra script in SickRage's post processing tab.
Can you post a cleaned up version of these filenames (no specific release data)?

I guess the real question is why is SR downloading all of these unrecognized files? What is happening is SABnzbd is downloading a grouping of similarly named files but there is an actual video file with them so simply deleting the extraneous files is not going to solve the problem. I would still be left with an ever expanding list of unrecognized video files. Clearly SR is just not recognizing the files that it has tasked SABnzbd to download. My question is why? Are these just garbage files that should not have gotten downloaded in the first place or is something not set correctly in SR so that it is not passing the file name to the renamer.

Without a detailed example I cannot tell you, you will have to provide file lists and edited release names, explaining what is happening vs what you expect to happen.
Which indexer are you using?

Here is an example of what a typical tv show file name looks like. Not sure what it is linked to in SR

OK so it's not passing the hashed release name for some reason.

I am at work now and don't remember which specific ones I have set up. Have to wait until tonight to check. Should I be able to tell the specific one by looking at the SR history, doesn't that tell the source of the download? Is this a SABnzbd problem or a SickRage problem? I would love to solve this because I am literally deleting hundreds of files a day which is an awful lot of bandwith to waste when your internet provider governs it.

I am confused now. Do these videos not get processed properly? Or do they get processed properly but there is just leftover files?
Are they RAR files?
