Radarr Movie Naming

Note: Some of these settings are only visible through 'show advanced' settings which is on the top bar under the search bar

---

Commonly used naming schema are:

• Standard Movie Format

{Movie Title} {(Release Year)} {Edition Tags} {[Quality Full]} {[MediaInfo 3D]} {[MediaInfo VideoDynamicRange]} [{MediaInfo VideoBitDepth}bit] {[MediaInfo VideoCodec]} {[MediaInfo AudioCodec}-{MediaInfo AudioChannels]}{MediaInfo AudioLanguages}{-Release Group} 

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}

• Rename Movies - If this is toggled off (no check in the box) Radarr will use the existing file name if renaming is disabled
• Replace Illegal Characters - If this is toggled off (no check in the box) Radarr will replace illegal characters.

Example: \ # / $ * < > just to name a few

• Colon (:) Replacement - This setting will dictate how Radarr handles colons within the movie file.
  This is only available when Replace Illegal Characters is toggled on (check in the box)
  • Delete - Self explanatory
    • Example: Movie,The.mkv -> MovieThe.mkv
  • Replace with Dash - Removes the colon and adds a dash in its place
    • Example: Movie,The.mkv -> Movie-The.mkv
  • Replace with Space - Removes the colon and adds a space in its place
