# Recommended naming scheme
|
|
|
|
Often on the [Sonarr Discord](https://discord.gg/M6BvZn5){: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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
{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](https://forums.plex.tv/t/beta-new-plex-tv-series-scanner/696242){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} that now support IMDB and TVDB IDs in file names.
|
|
|
|
For Plex:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
{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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
{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.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Season {season:00}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
RESULT:
|
|
|
|
`Season 01`
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
### Multi-Episode Style
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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`
