Filebot
Filebot is a fantastic utility for getting your movies organized in a way that Radarr can successfully parse. Version 4.7.9's 64 bit and 32 bit can still be downloaded free from a SourceForge mirror, but there are also paid versions in the Windows and Apple stores. On Linux, your distribution of choice may have a package for it, like in Arch's AUR package or .deb files for Debian/Ubuntu from their download page. It has both a GUI and a CLI, so should satisfy almost everyone.
There is great help available, including their format expressions page. My personal suggestion is to use something like {ny}\{fn} if your files include useful details like quality, edition and/or group or {ny}/{ny} [{dim[0] >= 1280 ? 'Bluray' : 'DVD'}-{vf}] if they don't, which would yield Movie (Year)/Movie (Year) [Bluray-1080p] or Movie (Year)/Movie (Year) [DVD-480p] for example. Instead of Bluray, you could also use WEBDL if you'd rather your collection be considered that.
To keep this pattern for future movies, you should set:
Settings -> Media Management (Advanced Settings Shown) -> Movie Naming
- File:
{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} {Edition Tags} {[Quality Title]} - Folder:
{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)}
Note: You can replace the spaces above with . or _ if you prefer that naming format.
Windows
Files 2 Folder
I used a program called Files 2 Folder to make my movie library visible for import into Radarr, extract the zip to your computer and run the .exe as administrator, then click yes to add it to your right click menu.
-
Browse to your movie folder
-
Select all files and right click to bring up the menu
-
Press the files 2 folder option in the menu
-
Wait for the box to appear, ONLY CLICK THE SECOND OPTION
-
Each movie will be in its' own folder.
Linux
cd /path/to/your/movies/files/
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname "*.mkv" -exec sh -c 'mkdir "${1%.*}" ; mv "${1%}" "${1%.*}" ' _ {} \;
