Files renamed to random Characters

Post by h45e »

Hi,
Having a little issue with my SAB/Sonarr renaming my downloaded files to random characters.
When I download the file, everything works fine but when the processing comes up it renames the file to some random characters which Sonarr cant pick up.

Anyone got ideas on how to fix this, been reading the forums with no clue.
Thanks

That's called obfuscation and it's how the poster of the file has uploaded it inside the Rar archives.
Sonarr has no problems with this, unless you changed any of the Sabnzbd default settings. For example that it should not create job folders (setting a * on the Category settings).
