# Recommended naming scheme
Often on Radarr discord people asking what's the recommended/best way to naming your files.
First of it's personal preference, but the support staff often recommend to add also non recoverable info.
Why ?
if you even need to do a re-install, re-import for what ever reason in Radarr or Plex/Emby/JellyFin it's nice to have all that info in the filename so it get's imported correctly and not been matched as HDTV or WEB-DL etc.
The Tokens not available in the release won't be used/shown.

## Standard Movie Format
### All the details
This naming scheme is made to be compatible with the [New Plex Agent](https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-plex-media-server-movie-scanner-and-agent-preview/593269/517) that now support IMDB and TMDB IDs in file names, if you don't need it or want it just remove `[imdb-{ImdbId}]`
```bash
{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} {Edition Tags} [imdb-{ImdbId}]{[Custom Formats]}{[Quality Full]}{[MediaInfo 3D]}{[MediaInfo VideoDynamicRange]}[{Mediainfo VideoBitDepth}bit][{Mediainfo VideoCodec}]{[Mediainfo AudioCodec}{ Mediainfo AudioChannels}]{-Release Group}
```
RESULT:
```bash
The Movie Title (2010) Ultimate Extended Edition [imdb-tt0066921][Surround Sound x264][Bluray-1080p Proper][3D][HDR][10bit][x264][DTS 5.1]-EVOLVE
```
### Minimal details + the irreplaceable data
This naming scheme is made to be compatible with the [New Plex Agent](https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-plex-media-server-movie-scanner-and-agent-preview/593269/517) that now support IMDB and TMDB IDs in file names, if you don't need it or want it just remove `[imdb-{ImdbId}]`
```bash
{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} [imdb-{ImdbId}]{[Quality Title]}{[MediaInfo AudioCodec}{ MediaInfo AudioChannels]}{[MediaInfo VideoCodec]}{-Release Group}
```
RESULT:
```bash
The Movie Title (2010) [imdb-tt0066921][Bluray-1080p][DTS 5.1][x264]-EVOLVE
```

## Original Title vs Original Filename
Want to keep the original release name that holds like all the info of the file then I suggest to use `{Original Title}` over `{Original Filename}`
Why?
The filename can be Obscured where the Release naming isn't especially when you use Usenet.
`{Original Title}` => `The.Movie.Title.2010.REMASTERED.1080p.BluRay.x264-GROUP`
`{Original Filename}` => `group-karatekid-1080p` or `lchd-tkk1080p` or `t1i0p3s7i8yuti`
------
## Movie Folder Format
### Minimal needed
```bash
{Movie CleanTitle} ({Release Year})
```
RESULT:
```bash
The Movie Title (2010)
```
!!! note
Keep in mind adding anything more after the release year could give issues during a fresh import in to Radarr, but in this examples it helps for movies that have the same release name and year.
```bash
{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} [imdb-{ImdbId}]
```
RESULT:
```bash
The Movie Title (2010) [imdb-tt0066921]
```
