Description of issue: I’m ending up with 2 or 3 files every couple days that aren’t being parsed correctly and have to be manually imported. In this case it’s The Mick s01e14. I’m using SABnzd to download, and file ended up named S7nOBVitZMe2F2Ve2qs.mkv. This only started becoming more frequent in the last couple weeks.
Obfuscated filenames are nothing new, but it looks like SAB is putting files into the root of the download folder, without a job folder, so Sonarr can’t process them properly. Do you have TV sorting enabled in SAB?

I didn’t have sorting on. Turned it on and re-downloaded the same show and it seems to work fine now. Didn’t realize that was an option. Thank you 
TV sorting in SAB being enabled is a bad thing, it shouldn’t be on.
The fact that SAB didn’t have the file in a folder named after the release is a problem, I was trying to understand why it’s not doing that as that’s the issue, maybe a post processing script in SAB is doing it?

I had changed settings in SAB a while ago to dump the files directly into the folder rather than creating subfolders, because I had drone also pointed at the same folder and it didn’t seem to pick up on things in subfolders. Realized eventually using the same folder for everything was probably causing issues, but never changed the SAB setting back. I didn’t realize that sonarr would use the folder name to figure out what an obfuscated file actually was.
Have turned off SAB sorting and have stuff downloading into subfolders again.
