Monitor folder sub directories

[sickgrinder]

Is it possible to have VAP processes subfolders of the monitor directory? or planned in the future? Great little app but otherwise useless for me if it can not do so.

Very doubtful this will ever happen, sorry. How many sub-folders are you talking about? You can have as many different VAP configurations as you want, each using a different monitor folder. Search VAP-readme.pdf on "-config"

What dictates the need for sub-folders?

The need is that i use sickbeard and it creates subfolders for every tv show. and i was looking at a total amount of 52 different subfolders. But thank you for pointing me to that in the pdf, i will read up on it.

Just curious on what you use VAP for on the sickbeard folders?
Wouldn't be for commercial cutting

So i can make a little use of media center on my xbox, i was using it to remux mkv to wtv with all data from tvdb. it works perfectly, just the issue with subfolders.

Multiple VAP configurations will of course not be a practical solution for 50 subfolders.

VAP will automatically look up TVDB metadata for series shows and insert it into WTV output files if you want to use VAP/VideoReDo to QSF .mkv inputs into .wtv outputs, which effectively is a remux and cleanup combined. To get the metadata VAP uses an input-file name parsing template you set up in the Advanced Configuration UI page. It needs to parse the show name plus one of the following:
1. Episode name (or)
2. Episode original air date (or)
3. Season and episode numbers.

Using metadata-based output folder and/or file renaming the .wtv files can be renamed per metadata and put in metadata-determined folders.
