SABnzbd Forums

Lately I've been having problem with either Sick Beard or SABnzbd shortening the filenames. So instead of the correct filename for an episode I get FJ8QEZ~C.MKV and similar. Which results in XBMC not being able to scan for the episodes and add them to the database. I'm kind of a noob and can't figure out why.

Sick Beard and SABnzbd is installed on a ReadyNAS.

There's no shortening by SABnzbd.
This is the name used by the poster.
If you're using SickBeard then you shouldn't also be using SABnzbd's sorting.
Meaning that the task of renaming files is up to SickBeard.
BTW: this is a fairly normal situation (shortened filenames) and as far as I
know, SickBeard will handle this.
