Series sorting & post processing

[jowi]

On my linux nas i have a tv series folder for Two And A Half Men, /mnt/user/tv series/Two And A Half Men/Season x/[episodes here]. I'm using sickbeard, and i've added this folder to sickbeard 'add existing show', so it points to /mnt/user/tv series/Two And A Half Men. So far so good. If sickbeard finds an episode, it sends the nzb to sabnzbd, and sab does it's download & repair and extraction, but here is where things go wrong.

In stead of unpacking the episode to /mnt/user/tv series/Two And A Half Men/Season x, it unpacks to /mnt/user/tv series/Two and a Half Men/Season x... so the words 'And A' are in lowercase... it can not find it, so it creates the folder, leaving me with 2 almost identical folders for this series...

I have tv series sorting enabled, the pattern is:

Code: Select all

%sN/Season %s/%s.n.S%0sE%0e.%e.n.%ext

I've also tried %sn for seriesname, same effect.

How is this possible? You would assume sabnzbd gets the folder from sickbeard? Why is sabnzbd renaming my series folder the wrong way?
I'm having the same problems with 'Hell On Wheels' which sabnzbd renames to 'Hell on Wheels' and also 'Go On' which becomes 'Go on'... other series seem to work fine...

*edit*
Could it be that sabnzbd does NOT look at sickbeards folder at all? The nzb i'm downloading is "Two.and.a.Half.Men.S10E01.720p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-NFHD" i guess sabnzbd gets its series folder name and sorting info directly from the nzb?

Ok, looks like i solved it. Sabnzb takes the seriesname from the nzb sickbeard (or others) supply. So in this case, the name with lowercase parts. I've solved it by using a pre script, which finds the seriesname in an nzb, and converts it to words with uppercase before sabnzb gets its hands on it Sabnzb will now use the correct seriesfolder when unpacking

The internal file still has the 'wrong' seriesname, but my extensive post-processing script takes care of that.

As always, support on this site is overwhelming... i wonder why i even bother asking here...
