Unpacking lots of files to 123.*

Hi,
Recently, a lot of my downloads have failed being picked up by sickrage due to incorrect naming. For some odd reason I get a lot of files named 123.* with subsequent files named 123(x).*. If this isn't bad enough I will have to manually go through all the downloads to see which were renamed incorrectly and based on the time stamp rename them myself. BUT - when clicking on the download it will only say it named them 123.mp4 even though it could, in fact, be 123(5).mp4.
Sorry about my poor English at the moment - I blame lack of sleep due to a nasty cold. I hope someone can help me out or fix the problem, though

I don't understand what the problem is.
Which program does things wrong? SickBeard, SABnzbd?
What goes wrong?

Sabnzb doesn't rename all the files it unpacks correctly and because these are named 123.* sickbeard/sickrage doesn't pick them up.

If SABnzbd gets a bunch op rar/par sets with weird names, it doesn't know what to name them to.
It cannot create names out of nothing.
An example is a bunch of episodes, all with weird names.
Do you have a specific example?

That was my initial thought as well - incorrectly named files, but it doesn't look like it. Here's one example from tonight:
Code: Select all

Uhm...come again? I have no idea, but should it really matter as it works for maybe 40-50% and not for the remainder?

SABnzbd will only rename files if you're using its Sorting functions.
If you don't, then SickBeard should do all renaming.
Having SickBeard deal with renaming is the recommended setup.
So when renaming goes wrong, it's a SickBeard problem.

Ok, I checked the config and all three parts of sorting were disabled. Do you have any tips on where to look in sickrage? I just find it strange that sab says the correct name but gives a weird path...

Personally I don't, but SickBeard has its own support forum.
