I have permanently switched to NZBs.org since newzbin went down a few weeks ago. One of the significant changes that I noticed was the sab sorting function. Since most tv shows pulled from nzbs.org doesn't include the episode name, the downloaded show was being sorted as follows:
Show Name - 1x01.mkv
Since I upgraded to 5.3 RC1, the group name is being added to the file name as well:
Show Name - 1x01 - Group Name.mkv
Is there a way to get back to the original way of sorting by not having the group name added?
This is what my sorting looks like for TV in my SAB settings:
%sn/Season %s/%sn - %sx%0e - %en.%ext
Thanks in advance

You are using %en, which is the episode name.
The method of getting the episode name was expanded in 0.5.3 rc1.
If you don't want an episode name, don't use %en.

thanks shypike.
i figure that was the culprit, but I wasn't sure if I could acomplish this without removing the %en. I have removed it and it works as expected
