I think i remember reading somewhere that sonarr only looks at the file inside the folder when importing and not the folder name. If true, what is the reasoning for that? Using the folder name in SickBeard worked very well and allowed us to download manually and just rename the folder while it downloaded for problematic series.
sonarr detects the episode that is downloading and yet doesn’t import the file… a bit confusing to me…

We do use the folder name in many obfuscated cases (when it follows a well known pattern), but recently its been an issue with an obfuscated file within an obfuscated folder within a well-named folder and that causes some issues with the existing parsing logic.
Originally I had planned to trust the indexer, which would include things grabbed via tvrage ID (not title matching), but that turned out to be dangerous due to them marking it with the wrong tvrage ID. We’ll be implementing the ability to override the detection and force the import, for naming mismatches and obfuscated files, but we haven’t done it yet.
