Hey peeps,
Ill try to keep it short. Running 7-17-9 on Synology 713+ with Sickbeard and CouchPotato.
Everything works exactly as it meant to be for the past few years.
Except, one show. When it downloads it creates two folders with a different spelling, but with the SAME content.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Keeping Up With the Kardashians
Only difference is the capital W ?
If I delete the content of one folder, it removes the content of the other folder as well.
I never knew Sab Could be case sensitive? Is there a way to change this behavior?
It only behaves this way for this show only. I never had this happen for the other gazillion shows I have downloaded.
Thanks in advance for some tips guys.

Re: Strange behavior on only one directory
Cases-sensitivity is determined by the operating system.
SABnzbd simply must follow this

Re: Strange behavior on only one directory
Thanks for your reply.
Of course I agree with your explanation.
However it doesn't explain why this is only happening for this particular show I mentioned.
For example, I have "Cosmos A Spacetime Odyssey" in the Sickbeard list as well.
One time it's available for download as "Cosmos a spacetime odyssey" the other time as "Cosmos A Space Time odyssey" or even "cosmos a spacetime odysey".
SB grabs it, sends it to SAB, SAB DL's it, unpacks, renames the show as set in the TV category "%sn/S%0sE%0e - %sn - %en.%ext" and puts the episode in the folder that was created by SB.
How come Keeping Up With the Kardashians is given a new folder with a capital W? I can't figure out where that step is happening? (SB creates it without the capital w accordingly to TheTVDB)
Weird huh?

Re: Strange behavior on only one directory
Recently SABnzbd started processing so-called meta-data from indexers.
This means that it will use show and episode names determined by the meta-data
and no longer the NZB name.
You can try to disable meta-data processing.
Config->Special->enable_meta_data.

Re: Strange behavior on only one directory
Thanks again.
Sorry, it didn't work as expected. It broke post processing.
Files got unpacked, but weren't moved to the corresponding folders inside the TV directory.
I'll try to fiddle some more with this
