Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4230 Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): OS: Windows 10 Description of issue:
I use what appears to be a non-conventional naming method for TV shows. My file structure looks like this:
/TV/Series Name/Season 1/01 - Episode name.ext
It seems in Sonarr, even though I can modify the naming to match, it won’t let me save it because it “isn’t valid”.
Is there any way to make Sonarr play nice with my preferred naming convention? Renaming everything to a new format would be a nightmare on a number of levels.
Never mind. According to a few whiny Reddit threads filled with the general misconception that the scheme I use will “cause you trouble and that’s why it’s invalid”, I’m apparently going to have to change the naming scheme I’ve been using for 10 years. A scheme I’ve used with MediaPortal, Emby, XBMC, Kodi, etc. with no trouble whatsoever. At most it may have required the addition of a regex so it could sort properly.
Sonarr can parse that format properly (at least it should be able to in most cases). The issue is building filenames aren’t supported, mainly because Sonarr would have no way to rename multi-episode releases (it uses e or x preceeding the episode number to build them.
