A while ago i asked a similar question, perhaps things are possible now ,i'll ask anyhow:
i have a easynews nzb like "12345-251g" this is for "A writer - this book" Newsleecher makes a dir "A writer - this book" containing the mp3 files. So NL parses the files so it "knows "the proper names, is this possible in Sabnzbd?
I have tried several categorie/ sort ways , to no avail, at best i get a folder named "12345-251g" with the files in it.
thanks

Re: Parsing nzb
SABnzbd names folders after the NZBs.
Where do you expect it to get other names from?

Well, that is exactly what i want to know; where does Newsleecher get the info from?shypike wrote:SABnzbd names folders after the NZBs.

i mean ,if NL obviously gets info from the nzb itself,i think the "subject"
part of nzb: ( source: Easynews generated nzb)
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 0.9//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-0.9.dtd">

The bold part becomes the directory name "Geoge Pelecanos - Hard Revolution"
NL log:

Notice "NR" has gone from the subject..............
Naturally you can say : go use NL , but i want to be able to make use of the abilities of Sab,like placing different content in separate maps.
What i want to know is : is it possible to get info from the nzb so i get the wanted action, having a properly named folder?
Re: Parsing nzb
The subject only describes filenames.
What NL does is guess from the main par2 file name what the folder name should be.
This can backfire nowadays, because those names inceasingly start to
get obfuscated as well.
In NL's case it works a little better because (I think) it auto-splits muliple rar/par sets.
SABnzbd doesn't do that yet.
BTW, most indexers deliver useful names for NZBs; where do you get yours from?

Re: Parsing nzb
In the Easynews web interface i look at the index for a group ( in my case a number of groups "favourites") i select a Par file from the subject i want,shypike wrote:Not always , the subject reflects the combo writer - bookThe subject only describes filenames.
for instance: subject: "George Pelecanos-Hell To Pay" but the filenames are: " GPHP1a_HellToPay.mp3".Yes this might become a nuisance.What NL does is guess from the main par2 file name what the folder name should be.

A "parpage"is opened, i select all files mp3's + pars, and tick "generate nzb".
web retention at EN is low so if i want to find an older file i go to an indexer.
Thank you for your help, but to conclude : nzb's from EN are not suited for Sab

Unless you manually add the name when uploading to SABnzbd.pop wrote:nzb's from EN are not suited for Sab
Once we have implemented "auto-split", it issue could be solved.
See roadmap: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/roadmap
Re: Parsing nzb
but EN appends something like "-c5a60"to the name, but i can remove this .Unless you manually add the name when uploading to SABnzbd.
I guess i'll have the same problem with movies, i use spotnet , a nzb for a movie could be: "BSFT1811TCBL.part001.rar"
so i presume this couldn't be parsed?
I'll wait for it then..Once we have implemented "auto-split", it issue could be solved.
Re: Parsing nzb
Movies with obfuscated FIlE names is something else altogether.
In this case (and especially with sportnet) the NZB names are OK and
you can use Generic Sort to name files after NZB names.

Re: Parsing nzb
But this is what i am saying, the nzb name is gibberish, like: "BSFT1811TCBL" , so how could Generic Sort use this?shypike wrote:Movies with obfuscated FIlE names is something else altogether.

Sorry ,i,m a bit dim.
Re: Parsing nzb
You're contradicting yourself now.
First you speak of an NZB with a gibberish name then of files that have gibberish names.
SABnzbd cannot fix "bad" NZB names, it can change gibberish FILE-names to proper names, using a proper NZB name as source.
That's when you use Sorting.
When both are gibberish, then there's no way fix things.
There's only one exception, sometimes the par2-repair run will restore proper file names.
(Because the poster renamed the files after creating the par2 files).
In such a case, you're still stuck with the bad NZB name.
