Recently set up RSS feed for nzbmatrix, all is working well, except for the final release naming.

Catching RSS feed works fine, downloads/repairs etc. just fine. I have a problem with the naming of the Final folder however.

When downloading directly from an nzb file the folder will be the same as that of the nzb. for example: This.Is.The.Release.Name-GROUP

Now when fetching from the RSS feed, I get the correct nzb naming, IE: as above, however the final release name has spaces in it.

I did use the option to replace the spaces with underscore, which works fine, but is not really desirable.

Just curious if/why there is a difference by the auto generated feed vs. the manually created way?

And if there is a way to preserve the original release naming via the automated RSS method.

I did select to preserve the original release name on nzbmatrix, and when I have the nzb's locally, they are named correctly with .'s and -'s, or however it was posted.
Here is how they are preserved: This.Is.The.Release.Name-GROUP.nzb.gz
However after final processing, the result is: This Is The Release Name GROUP

Also should add, when using a monitored folder for nzbs, the resulting file is also correct. The only time I have an "issue" is using the RSS feed.

Any advice is appreciated. I tried finding a similar post but only saw many with different "problems".

For RSS feeds the titles in the feed are used instead of the actual filename used by the site.
We do this because the titles in RSS tend to be richer in content than the filenames.
The latter are often very much stripped from special characters (and sometimes compressed).
It's a compromise.
Each site has differences between titles and filenames and each user has his/her own preference.
In future releases we might make this more user selectable per site.

BTW for some specific sites we do use filenames, because their titles are completely over the top.

Alrighty then! Thank you very much for the reply, I just wanted to be certain that it wasn't something I missed in configuration.
