which would then output: The Movie Title! (2010) Ultimate Extended Edition [Bluray-1080p Proper] [3D] [HDR] [10bit] [x264] [DTS-5.1][DE]-EVOLVE. This allows critical data such as the group and Quality (source) to be maintained within the file name in case of database loss or corruption

  • Movie Folder Format

{Movie Title} ({Release Year}) {tmdb-{tmdbid}} {imdb-{imdbid}} which would then output: The Movie Title! (2010) {tmdb-345691} {imdb-tt0066921}

  • Colon (:) Replacement - This setting will dictate how Radarr handles colons within the movie file.
