Renaming TV shows

how can i rename a series within sonarr, for instance i have the show titled “The 100” but in my folder tree “directory” i have it labeled as “100” i like to keep my directory names low. so when sonarr sees the folder “100” it pulls the data for “100” from tvdb, i want to keep my folder name and just rename the series in sonarr.

You cannot rename the series itself, but the series folder is changeable in the individual series settings.

thank you for the reply, i will go thru all my series folders and make sure they are labeled the correct title name… no more short hand.

You can use shorthand for the series folder.

The question is now why won it work for me my example is “The 100” tv show i use the short hand name for my folder “100” but in TVDB there is a show called “100” and that is the info sonarr pulls not the info for “the 100”

When you add the existing series you need to skip the first result Sonarr gives you and select another series.

Any updates on this? Ex. I have Doctor Who (2005) as a series but Sonarr will not pickup the episodes since its looking for Doctor Who (2005)…

=(

Update to what? All the information to add a new series when the folder name doesn’t match is here.

My apologies. I mis-understood this user’s issue. I will open a different thread.
