SABnzbd Forums

Hey guys,

In my SABnzbd settings, i have my categories configured as movies-xvid, and then i enabled general sorting for movies, selected this category, and put the sort string as : %title [%y]/%title [%y].%ext

In the Example it goes to the correct directory and shows up the correct example format: Movie Name [2000]/Movie Name [2000] CD1.avi. I downloaded a movie and it did rename it but not entirely correct. Its showing:

Just Go With It 2011 Brrip Xvid Ac3-Santi []

Seems like it is not able to pick up the year and see it as the year and put it within the []? And its taking the entire text as movie name. Anyone know how i can solve this? I did try deleting the category and re-adding it, same issue

What was the original name of the NZB file?
Also you only show one part of the result, while there are two: a folder name and a file name.

Sorry about that, The original name of the nzb is :-
Just_Go_With_It_2011_BRRip_XviD_AC3-SANTi.nzb
The nzb was downloaded automatically from Couchpotato which does a search for the nzb file from www.nzbs.org

After the file is downloaded, its original folder/file name is :-
Just_Go_With_It_2011_BRRip_XviD_AC3-SANTi/Just_Go_With_It_2011_BRRip_XviD_AC3-SANTi.avi

and i set it to post processing sorting to :-
%title [%y]/%title [%y].%ext
which should rename it to "Just Go With It [2001]/Just Go With It [2001].avi

but its currently giving me this :-
Just Go With It 2011 Brrip Xvid Ac3-Santi []/Just Go With It 2011 Brrip Xvid Ac3-Santi [].avi

It's the underscores in the name.
If you use spaces or dots it will work.
I'll see what I can do about this.

Thanks for that. Looking forward for a fix. Manual renaming for now

hmm, i dont think it was the underscore.

I just downloaded "Sucker.Punch.DVDRip.XviD-DEFACED" automatically via couchpotato, but it got downloaded as :-

Sucker.Punch.DVDRip.XviD-DEFACED[]/Sucker.Punch.DVDRip.XviD-DEFACED[].avi

Anyone got any ideas?

The underscore problem was tied to years.
So your new example has nothing to do with it.
I don't see a year in the original title, so doesn't it make sense that [%y] translates to [] ?
Moreover, without the year, SABnzbd cannot know where the title ends.
