Remove/Clean "article" names

[wally007]

i've searched forums and Wiki but found no way toclean postprocessed / extracted folder , file names.

Lets say i'm downloading movie called Ubuntu that got uploaded as Ubuntu.UNRATED.720p and i'd like to remove UNRATED part in postprocessed/extracted folder and file name. Same with Ubuntu.REPACK.720p. Is there anyway to do it in .5.Alpha11 ?

I know i can rename folder manually after download completes but i'm trying to get XBMC/PLEX scrape my finished download folder and with REPACK and UNRATED eft in the folder name scrapers are way off ( not just built in , other media managers are having troubles too )

I tried enabling movie sorting but i dont think it removes UNRATED/REPACK from folder/file name.

The easiest way to do it is to write a post-processing script.
That is, if you can write (simple) scripts.
For Windows you would do something like this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
cd /d %1
cd ..
set name=%3
set name=%name:.REPACK=%
set name=%name:.UNRATED=%
ren %3 %name%

General sorting in 0.5 will probably do what you want, all text after the YEAR value is ignored.

Not sure why after the year but last few nzb's i got were formatted using following scheme ( name of the movie is Ubuntu ):

Ubuntu.UNRATED.720p.BluRay.x264-REFiNED
or
Ubuntu.REPACK.720p.Bluray.x264-CBGB

as you can see year is not used at all and i actually dont mind. I'd like to leave everything in place except be able to set few "keywords" that get removed EVERYTIME. Words like PROPER , REPACK , UNRATED or even BluRay and x264 i'd like to be able to remove.

Thanks !!!!

Is there some kind of hidden setting in .5.Alpha.11 like tv_country that i can try to use ?

I filed a feature request https://trac2.assembla.com/SABnzbd/ticket/340
No promises for a delivery date, but I think it has a good cost/benefit value.

[wally007]

Thanks .. i think it would be very valuable feature and not just for movies like my example Ubuntu , but also for TV episodes when they get REPACKed :-)

How about just the ability to change the name of a queued item before it downloads?

[shypike]

In release 0.5.0 you can change name as long as it's still downloading.

Tried to use your script per instruction in wiki but its not working. ( i changed %1 to $1 ). I'm sure i'm not doing it right but wiki is pretty thin. But i'm trying ... :-)

Windows uses %1, %2 for parameters.
Unix and OSX use $1, $2.

There are two sample scripts in the distribution.
Sample-PostProc.cmd
and
Sample-PostProc.sh

We don't have a tutorial for writing scripts, there are plenty on the Web.
