SABnzbd Forums

hi, all. brand new user here (replaced my htpc with a mac mini)

i'm using plex as my media browser, but it can't read the names of the files if there are periods throughout.

i've been using name mangler to remove the periods after all has been deleted, but i'd like to remove that step if possible....

or if not...is there a way to make sabnzbd automatically work with name mangler to replace the periods with spaces?

We have a "secret" option for that:

NICE

so i've been having good luck with removing the periods in the folder names. is there a way for it to also remove the periods in the actual file names inside the folder?

keeping the .extension of course.

No, for several reasons.
If we rename files, par2 verification will fail so might unpacking multi-volume rar-files.
We won't even consider renaming after unpacking completes.
The whole subject just has too many potential side effect which would result in endless support questions.

You'll have write your own post-processing script for that.

makes sense.

this might even be a blessing. having to make separate "season" folders with the actual files inside (sans folder) for plex is a real pain.
