## Radarr recommended naming scheme examples

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}]`

`{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}`

#### 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 !!!

`{Movie CleanTitle} ({Release Year})`

RESULT:

`The Movie Title (2010)`

------

> 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.

`{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} [imdb-{ImdbId}]`

RESULT:

`The Movie Title (2010) [imdb-tt0066921]`
