Win8.1, Sonarr & SABnzbd - No files found are eligible for import

[BlackFayah]

Hello,

I’m on Windows 8.1, and I’m using Sonarr with SABnzbd and uTorrent, but this is about the nzb’s.
When I am downloading an amount of episodes of The Blacklist, I get this error:
“No files found are eligible for import in C:\SABnzbd\complete\The.Blacklist.S01E02.HDTV.x264-LOL”

Here is a screenshot of the result in Activity:

(as you can see, all The Blacklist’s downloads have the same error (also on page 2))

Screenshot of the folders in C:\SABnzbd\complete:

Screenshot of the contents of 1 of these folders (are all alike):

Here are the logs from Sonarr (split up in parts):

Here are the logs from SABnzbd (split up in parts):

Thanks a lot for the help in advance. I really have no clue what the problem is.

There isn’t a video file in there, it looks like 09.04.2014.1 might be the correct file (needs a .mkv extension), but its an odd release. The click2rename.bat file looks sketchy so definitely don’t run it.

Should I blacklist these releases? It’s kinda strange that it is the case with a lot of these files though…

Rename scripts are pretty common on usenet. They are used to try and circumvent automated take downs.

I run a sabnzbd script that just copies the nzb (download folder) name over the largest file, bypassing the need for rename scripts.

Just check the bat in notepad, it probably just renames the .1 file.

[BlackFayah]

Wow, you’re right! They renamed the files so that they got picked up by Sonarr. Sweet!

But is there a way to run these scripts automatically? Or what kind of script do you have? Does it work properly, and are you willing to share?

Best would be to write a sabnzbd pp script that ‘emulates’ executing the batch/bash script file. (No, I don’t have one)

Although I haven’t run into one of these release in a long LONG time.

I made a adaptation of this for my own download chain, because one of the dutch release groups uses renamed files.

Please note that your release was a bloatware release, so normally would deserve a blacklist. But as it’s older you might not find a non-bloatware on usenet.

Also note, the script will mutilate season / dvd / blu-ray downloads as it will only retain the largest file.

Cheers, thanks for the help all!
