Usenapp renaming sample files

renegade

Usenapp is renaming sample filenames to the .nzb file name when manually imported (possibly other ways as well, but I only add manually).

for example: in the fileset, the sample is named something like sample-name.of.of.the.show.s1.extras.dvdrip.xvid.avi
when Usenapp processes the file I get a resultant file like: Name.Of.The.Show.S1.EXTRAS.DVDRiP.XViD (which matches the .nab name rather than the filename listed in the fileset).

Does it for every .nzb that I have sent to watched folder that contains a sample file within (doesnt matter if its .mkv, .avi, etc)

This is not a bug but a feature that can be turned off in the preferences:

why does it only change the name of samples?
why not any of the other files in the file set?
just curious why

The story behind this is that when you import an NZB file, it sometimes download a movie file with an obfuscated file name.

This obfuscated filename will then be changed to the name of the NZB file.

Example.

NZB filename: movie_2021.nzb
File to be downloaded: 8das98d7a.mkv

The downloaded file will then be changed to movie_2021.mkv

However, if several mkv files are downloaded via the NZB, only the first mkv file will be changed and not all of them. If this first file happens to be the sample file, it will be changed.

However, this is not very common. Usually an NZB contains only 1 mkv file. You can therefore turn off this feature if you do not want this.

Ahhh, thank you for the explanation. Makes sense.
