TV Sorting... Ignore upper case letters?

Post by iLLNESS »

I've searched the forum a bit and couldn't find exactly what im looking for. It seems most people are having issues with auto downloaders/etc downloading the same stuff multiple times.

I'm just curious how i can get the tv sorting function to ignore upper case letters. As discussed before, certain operating systems will create multiple directories with different casing. ie:
Tv.Show.SE01
TV.show.s01
etc
etc.

My server running SAB also runs an SMB client to all the Windows boxes, and Windows DOES NOT like this.

In the tv sort section of SAB, it seems to allow lowercase text by wrapping { } around text, but i cant seem to figure out how to wrap { } around something like %s.n.

When i wrap { } around %s.n it freezes SAB on the verification. It says verification passed, but it still shows its at 27/27 in my case and doesn't extract. I assume because I wrapped my flags wrong.

How do i get this to work properly?

Which release are you using?
There was an infinite loop related to lowercasing removed in a recent Beta.

Please upgrade to Beta6.
Beta1 has so many problems...
Including the {} infinite loop, if I remember correctly.

perfect. problem solved.

now to find a way to automatically rename files to remove upper case :o

EDIT: that wasn't so bad. FileBoss for windows was able to do it after running it a few times :)
