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

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?

Or a change in poster habits.
I'll see, possibly ":" was overlooked.
