Hi guys,
I’m looking to rename my TV shows to this form:
{Series Title} Season {season:00} Episode {episode:00} {Quality Title}
e.x: Arrow Season 01 Episode 01 720p
However, this looks to fail validation with this message:
“Must contain season and episode numbers OR Original Title”
My desired format seems to meet the stated requirements, contains season and episode numbers…
Looking through the source, from what I could understand of the C# regex nonsense, is that its looking for something along the lines of s01e01 with some separators in between.
Why is my desired format unacceptable? Is there a reason why the validation is so strict or is the validation broken?
Mainly because the format has to support multi-episode files. And it’s preferred that sonarr can actually parse the resulting filenames properly.
I added some some support for multi-episode support of this format, but its limited and still not a preferred format.
Why does that format not support multiple episode files?
Arrow Season 1 Episode 01-03 720p
Seems like this really shouldn’t be a problem…
Because we didn’t previously support it, its supported in the latest develop release now.
Thanks for the info, markus101!
I’m not familiar with Sonarr’s development cycles. When can we expect these changes to make it to standard releases?
Well, since our cycle involves “When we feel it’s stable”, we don’t know.
