Sorting and changing filename: quality, format and releasegr

Post by spacewagon »

I have a question about renaming and sorting filenames.

I use Sabnzbd on a Synology NAS. I download by example this file:

Code: Select all

The.Blacklist.S02E03.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION
By the Sort settings of Sabnzbd I use the following:

Code: Select all

%sn/Seizoen %s/%sn - S%0sE%0e - %en.%ext
It results in:

The Blacklist/Seizoen 2/The Blacklist - S02E03 - Dr James Covington.mkv

But, I want to have it resulted in:

The Blacklist/Seizoen 2/The Blacklist - S02E03 - 720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv

I don't want the title, but I want the quality, the format and the releasegroup. Or both. I need the quality, the format and the releasegroup for finding (automatically) subtitles.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Normally SABnzbd will use the quality/release codes as part of the episode name.
However, some sites use so-called "meta-data" in their headers or the NZB file itself.
These are tags like "Show name", "Season", "Episode", "Episode name".
These tags, when present, take precedence over what is in the title.
The "Episode name" will be without the quality/release codes.

The only way to stop this is to disable the option Config->Special->enable_meta

Thank you. I switched off enable_meta now. Let's see if this fix it!
