Best way to remove obfuscation from "Original Title"?

Help & Support
1

Hello,
I’ve just switched to Sonarr from Sickrage, and I’m loving it so far – much faster, and easier to find the right things.

I’m only missing one thing from my “old life”: I keep the scene release names for my video files, because I want to easily be able to see the source of a file, as well as be able to search for matching subtitles from for example Addic7ed. To achieve this in Sonarr, I’m using {Original Title} for the renamer (I guess I could also turn off the renamer completely.) The problem is that, from some Usenet trackers, as you know, the scene names are obfuscated, by adding for example -Obfuscated or -NZBGeek to the end of the name. It gets removed by Sonnar when parsing the scene group, and Sickrage cleaned out the obfuscation for me, but with Sonarr it stays in the “Original Title” field and thus gets used when renaming.

What would be the best way to clean this stuff out? Can I rename the release as it is downloaded in NZBget, and the new name gets picked up by Sonarr? Or should I run a custom script from Sonarr after it has taken care of the downloaded file? If so, how do I tell Sonarr about the new filename?

Anyone had the same problem and solved it before? Cheers.

I believe it should, but not 100% certain that it will.

You could also run a post processing script in NZBGet that executes before Sonarr sees the file and use the Original FileName renaming token.

That would work as well, though it would create extra events for the episode. You’d need to tell Sonarr to rescan the series via the API.

@markus101 Thanks for the hints! I managed to make a queue script for NZBget which changes the names of any offending NZBs. The new name does get picked up by Sonarr when the NZB is detected as downloaded, and is used when the file is sorted :thumbsup:
