SABnzbd Forums

This just started happening in the last few updates of 5.0. I couldn't tell you which. I've always had categories with ]-[ seperating two words and it's worked fine. My categories aren't actually enclosed in brackets as that causes issues also (we talked about it before) so I have been naming them like so b.l.u]-[r.a.y. After EVERY restart of the program it get's changed to b.l.u}-{r.a.y along with every other category named in a similar fashion. Should I just change my folder names now or is this an actual glitch?

It's a side effect of the INI format of the sabnzbd.ini file.
Categories are stored like this:
[categories]
[[my-cat]]
dir = bla
....

Your category would need to be stored as [[my]-[cat]].
The format doesn't support that, so it's translated to [[my}-{cat]].
And that's the way the name will stay.

Yeah it's weird though as it only recently started happening within the last few updates. I've had these dir names since 0.4. Hmm...

There have been some changes in the past.
The main problem we had is handling IPV6 IP addresses in the servers.
Eg. [[[::1]:119]]
I'll see if this can be handled better in the next major release.
