Does SAB now interface with one of the movie db's when sorting movies? Or perhaps it is getting more information via the NZB/API?
I downloaded a movie via SAB on unRAID (linux), and although the nzb name did not have a colon (:) in it, the sorted folder name did. So I guess my first question is, where did that colon come from? (Nevermind to first question. Noticed this new feature: Support for more meta-data in NZB files)
When accessing that movie via a samba share, the directory name ends up being jibberish (i.e., T38DFB~8) due to the colon. My second question would be is there a way to not permit the use of special characters during sorting/renaming? Or is this perhaps a bug?
Thanks!
Edit: I do have "Replace Illegal Characters in Folder Names" checked.

There's the special config option 'sanitize_safe' which dumbs down the range of allowed characters even further to please windoze based systems
Re: 0.7.17Beta3 and sorting -- allowing a colon in directory
FYI, colons are still being used, even with both referenced options enabled (replace illegal characters and sanitizie_safe). Not sure why this suddenly showed its face... a change in recent versions?

I'll see, possibly ":" was overlooked.
