### Movie Files Not in Folders ###
* Currently, Radarr requires that each movie be in a folder. The format should be something like `./Movie Title (Year)/` to facilitate correct identification during import. Further, having the quality in the filename is also useful like `Movie Title (Year) [Quality-Resolution].ext` so that during import the correct quality will be matched. A useful tool for making these changes to your collection is [filebot](http://www.filebot.net/#download) which has paid version in both the Apple and Windows stores, but can be found for free on their [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/latest/download) site. It has both a GUI and CLI, so you can use whatever you're comfortable with.
* This limitation is a known source of concern, a [feature request](http://feathub.com/Radarr/Radarr/+29) exists to enable the option to *not* use a folder for each movie and the developers have this in mind for the future.
* The [[How to Create a Folder for Each Movie]] is a great source for making sure your file and folder structure will work great.
### Movie Folders Named Incorrectly ###
* Even if your movies are in folders already, the folders may not be named correctly. The folder name should be `Movie Title (Year)`, having the title and year in the folder's name is critical right now.

* These examples will require manual management when the movie is added. Each of the examples will have many root directories, like `A-D` and `E-G` in the first letter example, `R` and `PG-13` in the rating example and you can guess at the variety of genre folders. When adding a new movie, the correct base folder will need to be selected for this format to work.
* Examples that won't work:
* Single folder: `/mnt/Kid Movies/Frozen (2013) [Bluray-1080p].mkv`
* At this time, movies simply have to be in a folder named after the movie. There is no way around this until development work is done to add this feature.
