Title: Downloaded files are not named as expected
Post by: Fussslon on July 19, 2024, 01:26:09 pm

Hi,
When downloading, most (but not all) files are named like part of their yenc code.

e.g. ..\AltBinz\[NZB name]\7b17f70d975c9baf8153b922d3acc6df22c79e5fad4fe1f085fd4b5128bce09f.mkv

I have checked the option "create subfolders based on NZB/root node name", still, many files I have to rename manually to a usable name from the file list/NZB.
Is there an option I'm overlooking?
regards,
F

If there was unraring involved then yes - setup->unrar->auto rename video file to collection name

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, there was unraring involved, and I activated the option you proposed.
Unfortunately, the result is the same, all files are named in something that looks like hex code.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I just have no idea, what that is.

Sorry for replying to an old thread.

I have "Auto rename video file to collection name" checked, too.
Sometimes (more and more frequently lately) I end up with an obfuscated video filename.

i.e. c920WboQhd1mulYeO87FtIYjrVLNee1c.mkv

It seems to be NOT the result of a RAR archive, but a single file. (These files appear in my DOWNLOAD folder, not the folder where RARs are unpacked to)

I tried attaching an NZB as an example, but it's too big.

Done and done.    :)

"Auto rename video file to collection name" options is under unpack options. So, it refers only to things getting unpacked. As you've said 'c920WboQhd1mulYeO87FtIYjrVLNee1c.mkv' is in nzb file as a single file, not packed. So, nothing to unpack - nothing to rename.

BTW, terrible nzb. No small par2 file, missnamed volume recovery files, video file that has no clear name, but volume files, although not properly named, have a clear release name. Not much else could have gone wrong there :)

Thanks for checking.  I am encountering this type of NZB file more and more frequently over the past few weeks.

I can usually predict that a file is going to be a problem (and require manual renaming) when Alt.Binz reports that an NZB has a total of 8 files (7 PAR, 1 video).

Also, Alt.Binz seems to download every single PAR file, even when the video file doesn't need repair... ?

As I'v said - terrible post. Missnamed volume par2 files - they are not detected as volume files by alt.binz

I hate to say it, but this terrible format may become more common for certain groups / indexers.  I've sampled NZBs from a few places over the past few days, and it's prevalent.

From what I've read, SABnzbd had to add built-in deobfuscation to its configuration: "Deobfuscate final filenames".

Maybe a future build of Alt.Binz could pull the filename from the NZB name, or the name of the PARs...
