Sonarr Naming vs Plex DVR Naming

Help & Support
#1

Sonarr version 2.0.0.5228:
Mono version 5.14.0.177):
OS: CentOS7
Debug logs:
Nothing to Debug/log
Description of issue:

When I record a show with Plex DVR, it records in the following format.

iZombie (2015) - S04E01 - Are You Ready for Some Zombies .ts

Sonarr wants this to be:

iZombie - S04E01 - Are You Ready for Some Zombies.mkv

Also the Series directory iZombie (2015) is created by Plex, but only iZombie by Sonarr, sometimes Plex finds the other directory, sometimes it doesn’t.

I tried adding Series Year as an option, but I think I discovered Sonarr only adds that if there’s a same name show. Can I force it on? This is causing a lot of duplicate subdirs and files for me. Trying figure out best way to address.

Thank you.

You can’t force the year into the folder name.

Plex should re-use the exist folder, if it’s not it’d be worth raising on the Plex forums.
