Original Title vs Original Filename

Original Title

Another option is to use {Original Title} rather than the recommended naming scheme outlined above. {Original Title} will use the title of the release which will contain all of the information included in the release itself. The benefit of this naming scheme is to prevent download loops which can occur on import when there is a discrepancy in the release title compared to the contents of the file itself (for example, if the release title says DTS-ES but the contents are actually DTS). The downside is less flexibility with how the files are named.

If using this alternate naming scheme I suggest using {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

!!! warning "Please note that folder names are created in the database whenever the movie is added to Radarr and it may be missing or incorrect at that time, resulting in your folder having a blank ID.‼️

If you instead add it to the filename, the IMDb/TMDb ID will be freshly pulled for any download or upgrade."
