Deluge/Radarr/Sonarr...How to best delete release group naming BEFORE the filename?
2d 20h ago by lemmy.world/u/iturnedintoanewt in selfhosted
Hi guys!
So...Yeah. I have your average Deluge/Sonarr/Radarr combo. What I'm finding increasingly annoying is, these days some release groups are putting their names more frequently BEFORE the filename. This makes it rather hard to find even the folders of the files being downloaded. Is there an easy way to address this? I'd like to keep the rest of the things in the filename there, and maybe even the release group name...but at the end of the file. The most important thing, the filename should come first. How to best do this?
Thanks!
Use the renaming feature in Sonarr and Radarr. It renames both folder and file.

Thanks! I think I'll do that.
Are you using sonarr/radarr to do your renaming? I have mine set to patterns that put the release group at the end. It usually has no problem picking up release groups at the beginning (especially for anime, that seems to be pretty common), so by the time it's auto imported, the filenames have been normalized to standard format with release group at the end.
Radarr/Sonarr: Change the naming scheme, select every release, hit "rename"
I want to say Sonarr has a regex renaming feature, but I may just be making that up as I'm not looking at my instance right now. Doing whatever renaming based on a pattern would be preferable during the download phase in order to keep the metadata of each service clean.
Failing that, if you have a predictable list of release group strings you want removed from filenames, a one liner with sed or similar would take care of this. You'd then break the known locations of these files by any service tracking them of course, but they will eventually be reindexed.
Why do you care about the filename at all? As long as radarr knows and Jellyfin/Plex knows then it’s all good
The post that you didn’t read says it’s so they can find the folders of the files being downloaded.
It’s just that you shouldn’t have to.
I’m suspecting the user is asking the wrong question.
You’re also the only one who didn’t answer the question asked lol but yeah sure the poster is wrong for asking
Well, when I go to the downloads or the movies folder, I don't like all my folders starting as www.releasepage.com your releases here [beginning of actual movie name get's cut because it's too long to show in the list]. It's really not helpful. So I'd very much rather get it out. Or behind at least. Somewhere where it doesn't block.
I guess it's just me that never really interact with the files anymore.
Look into using power rename from MS power toys if you're using windows or the rename CLI command in Linux
I think they want it automated so it would need to be integrated to Sonar/Radarr etc rather than the machine you watch the media on.
