Renaming to weird filename

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4427
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): Windows
OS: Windows 10
((Debug logs)): http://pastebin.com/raw/LUpJ9z78
Description of issue:
When Sonarr tries to rename Con Man episodes, instead of naming them like normal it names them something weird like “HSOG3~K.MKV” (that’s not the exact name, but it’s something like that). I see that the logs say it can’t access them, but it does rename them. Also, I can rename them manually. This is only happening with Con Man episodes (s02e01 and s02e02), and not with any other show.

I’m at a loss for what could be going on.

CON is a reserved word in Windows from the DOS days, so renaming files with it as a separate word won’t work properly (though I was under the impression renaming would fail, not create a DOS compatible name).

Would renaming the folder to Con_Man or Con.Man fix the issue, then?

EDIT: Or is it the “Con.Man” in the filename that’s the issue?

Not sure if con.man would work or if the period treat it as a single word, you could also try con-man.
