3 digit naming convention for episode, SABnzbd not picking it up

[jmjay]

Hi all,

as we all know tvnzb.com is down, won't come back by the looks of it... Pity, but I was looking for some alternatives with RSS (I checked out newzbin.com as well but don't really know what the fuzz is all about... not really up to date is it?)

K... so after some playing around I seemed to settle on a nzbindex.nl rss feed piped through yahoo to do some filtering and renaming. So far so good. Unfortunately the stupid nzbindex returns the name of the posted file or something wich may look like this:

ShowName.221.x264.blahblah.nfo

the problem is now that my sabnzbd is not picking up 221 as an episode naming convention and creates a new folder with the full above name :-(

Is this intended? Or did I miss out on someting?

Verison is 0.5.0 (haven't hat time for 0.5.2 yet), on Win7.

Cheers,

JMJay

PS: Alternatively: Does someone know how to extend the nzbclub.com rss feed beyond 25 items? I don't have the computer running all day and in the evening when it's switched on I am missing shows :-(

ShowName.221.x264.blahblah.nfo
This is impossible to interpret as season/episode, because it isn't.
I would say it's an x264 encoded video.
How should 221 be interpreted 2/21 22/1 ?
This one may be obvious but how about 113?
SABnzbd accepts 2x21 and s2e21.

Hi shypike,

I concur that this is a shitty naming convention :-(

My theory would be: everything in category "TV" is a tv show, so leaving aside season downloads and the like the algorithm in theory could be:

take the first three digit number sequence (in absence of anything with a proper 1x05 or s01e05 style) and interpret it backwards, meaning 221 can only be 2x21, assuming that at least 2x05 would be 205 ;-)

Other question/alternative approach: This kind of thing could totally be avoided if the job name would be equal to the RSS feed item title. I have sorted that out fine, but it just takes the name of downloaded nzb :-(

Cheers and thanks for the quick response!

PS: If I haven't said so... awesome tool you guys are working on!

Anything coming in through the RSS feeds normally gets the title from the feed, not from the filename.
We made an exception for some sites (like nzbindex.nl) because of their completely over-the-top titles.

We are working on a better RSS solution where you can make such decisions yourself, per RSS site.

Oh... that would be awesome ;-)

So count me in for "in favor".

Take care,
