Recommended naming scheme

Often on the Sonarr Discord{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} people ask what's the recommended/best way to name your files. First off it's personal preference, but it's often recommended to add non-recoverable info.

Why?

If, for whatever reason, you ever need to do a re-install or re-import in Sonarr or Plex/Emby/JellyFin it's nice to have all that info in the filename so it gets imported correctly and isn't incorrectly matched as HDTV or WEB-DL etc.

The Tokens not available in the release won't be used/shown.

Series Folder Format

{Series TitleYear}

RESULT:

The Series Title! (2010)

Optional Series Folder Format for the Plex TV Series Scanner and Jellyfin/Emby

This naming scheme is made to be compatible with the New Plex TV Series Scanner{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} that now support IMDB and TVDB IDs in file names.

For Plex:

{Series TitleYear} [imdb-{ImdbId}]

RESULT:

The Series Title! (2010) [imdb-tt1520211]

!!! note The officially supported format is {imdb-{ImdbId}} but plex should also support (imdb-{ImdbId}) or [imdb-{ImdbId}], though the above should work for now, It's actually not needed to add a ID to the folder or filename to use the New Plex TV Series Scanner.

For Jellyfin/Emby:

{Series TitleYear} [imdbid-{ImdbId}]

RESULT:

The Series Title! (2010) [imdbid-tt1520211]

!!! tip IMDb IDs are going to be very accurate and rarely change, TVDB/TMDB IDs, on the other hand, do change or are removed more frequently.

Season Folder Format

For this there's only one real option to use in my opinion.

Season {season:00}

RESULT:

Season 01

Multi-Episode Style

Scene

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.Series.Title.S01E01.Episode.Title.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-RlsGrp

{Original Filename} => show episode 1-1080p or lchd-tkk1080p or t1i0p3s7i8yuti

Thanks:

A big Thanks to fryfrog, rg9400 and bakerboy448 for the suggestions.
