Post processing and renaming

[raxv25]

My indexer is beta testing a new form of its site and whenever I download my NZB's from it using Sickbeard to let SABNZBD post process, SABNZBD is processing with group and quality, rather than with an episode name. If I use the old version of the indexer site, SABNZBD processes it out with an episode name. I've looked at the XML files and I can't tell that anything looks off and the admin says they look fine. What is SABNZBD looking at to determine the episode name and why would the same file from the older version of the indexer be processing correctly but not the newer version of the site? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Several indexers use so-called meta-data in headers or in the NZB file
to set proper values for title, season and episode.
By default, SABnzbd will use meta-data offered by the indexers.
You can try whether changing Config->Special->enable_meta_data makes a difference.

Is there anything you can see from these XML outputs from the old to new site that would explain why SABNZBD is having trouble renaming the files with episode name from the https://www.nzbs.be site? HTTPS://nzbs.chica.be seems to be working just fine. Admin says these XML outputs look just fine from both.

The rss feed does not show meta-data.
That data only becomes available when the NZB is downloaded.

[raxv25]

Ah, okay. Please forgive my ignorance, but what in the nzb would show that? I've tried downloading it before any post processes and I see the normal files. There are URL files, NFO, SFV sometimes and a few others. Do one of those contain the info?

Edit: I parsed the NZB for more XML data and got this at the end. Is this information applicable for what SAB uses to rename? The old site contains this data too so I'm not sure why continuing to use the new site nets group and quality name in the rename by sab. I also forgot to mention that I use Sickbeard to grab my NZB's. Is there something Sickbeard is possibly doing to the file to throw SAB off?

If the NZB files go through SickBeard, then any meta-data must reside in the NZB.
But if you're using SickBeard, why bother with SABnzbd's sorting options?
Cannot you let SickBeard do the fancy sorting work?
