Syncing with "Add automatically to iTunes" doesn't work properly

[oskwish]

I've setup Bittorrent sync on two machines. One of them syncs with just a "regular" folder (C1) and the other one syncs with the "Add automatically to iTunes"-folder (C2). C1 has read/write permissions and C2 has read-only.

My problem is that it just doesn't work. When the sync is completed I can't see any files on C2 (which I shouldn't because files are moved from "Add automatically to iTunes" to iTunes) but I can't find any files in iTunes either. It works on rare occasions with some music files but I can never get it to work with bigger files such as movies or TV-episodes.

I think that the problem occurs because iTunes doesn't wait until the files are completely synced.

Anyone have a solution for this? I thought it might work if iTunes ignored files that end with ".!sync" but I can't find a solution for that.

One solution would be to use Hazel to add the files, making sure you deliberately exclude the .sync! files.

You could always have them sync to another folder and then setup a cron job to move them into your iTunes folder once they are completely synced. I'd think something along the lines of this would work:

*/5 * * * * find /path/to/tempfolder -type f -not -name '*.!sync' -exec mv {} /path/to/auto/iTunes/folder \;
