That is correct, since it doesn't know which files came from the download if they were unpacked just to a big directory with other files.
So just disable the * in the Category settings.
Rename unpacked files like the nzb name?

Re: Rename unpacked files like the nzb name?
Unfortunately with my setup I cannot have each episode of a tv show in it's own folder.
There's no way to tell it to just rename the mkv file it just unpacked?
Re: Rename unpacked files like the nzb name?
You can use Sorting, use for Series Sorting and Movies Sorting the sorting string:
%dn.%ext
%dn.%ext

Re: Rename unpacked files like the nzb name?
Thanks for the suggestion. It seems like that would work most of the times, but not when the folder name for the TV series is different than the name given on the nzb. For instance, if my folder is "D:\Travelers (2016)" and the nzb is "Travelers S02E02 something.nzb"
Re: Rename unpacked files like the nzb name?
The name is not really correct. Internally it always uses the NZB name, not the folder name.
We will probably rename that option in a future release.

Re: Rename unpacked files like the nzb name?
It uses the NZB name to determine the name of the show, which won't match my folder name where the show is stored. (In this example, it's Travelers (2016) because that's how the Kodi scrapers match the series). If the NZB Name is "Travelers S02E01 something.nzb" it would, and my category path is "D:\" it would put the file in D:\Travelers not D:\Travelers (2016).

Yes, this is true.relayer35 wrote: ↑December 5th, 2017, 2:30 pm It uses the NZB name to determine the name of the show, which won't match my folder name where the show is stored.

What you need is Sonarr. It will do all this sorting just the way you like and has many more options to put it exactly in the right place!
This topic is only about renaming:

Re: Rename unpacked files like the nzb name?
Just want to report that I was having the same issues with foldernames being correct but filenames not. This led to sonarr not picking up the files automatically as the quality was missing in the filename :-/
sorting series/TV now using: %dn/%dn.%ext
did the trick for me. Now folder + filename are the same having all information for processing in sonarr
Thanks and keep up the good work
