Media Management#

Rename imported files to the defined standard format.

Sonarr will use the existing file name if renaming is disabled.

Replace illegal characters within the file name.

If set to False, Sonarr will remove them instead.

File renaming format for a standard episode file.

The default specified here is the current TRaSH-Guides recommended format, but it will not be applied to the Sonarr instance unless it is explicitly defined in the configuration file.

File renaming format for a daily episode file.

The default specified here is the current TRaSH-Guides recommended format, but it will not be applied to the Sonarr instance unless it is explicitly defined in the configuration file.

File renaming format for an anime episode file.

The default specified here is the current TRaSH-Guides recommended format, but it will not be applied to the Sonarr instance unless it is explicitly defined in the configuration file.

Renaming format for a series folder.

The default specified here is the current TRaSH-Guides recommended format, but it will not be applied to the Sonarr instance unless it is explicitly defined in the configuration file.

Renaming format for a season folder of a series.

The default specified here is the current TRaSH-Guides recommended format, but it will not be applied to the Sonarr instance unless it is explicitly defined in the configuration file.

Renaming format for a specials folder of a series.

The default specified here is the current TRaSH-Guides recommended format, but it will not be applied to the Sonarr instance unless it is explicitly defined in the configuration file.

Formatting style for the episode numbers of a multi-episode media file.

Create missing series folders during disk scan.

Delete empty series and season folders during disk scan and when episode files are deleted.

Prevent importing for up to 48 hours if the episode title is in the naming format and the episode title is TBA.

Values:

• always
• bulk-season-releases
• never

sonarr:
  settings:
    media_management:
      episode_title_required: "always"

Skip the free space check for the series root folder.

Only enable when Sonarr is unable to detect free space from your series root folder.

Prevent import if it would leave less than the specified amount of disk space (in megabytes) available.

Minimum value is 100 MB.

Use hard links when trying to copy files from torrents that are still being seeded.

Occasionally, file locks may prevent renaming files that are being seeded. You may temporarily disable seeding and use Sonarr's rename function as a work around.

Import matching extra files (subtitles, .nfo file, etc) after importing an episode file.

Episodes deleted from disk are automatically unmonitored in Sonarr.

Whether or not to automatically upgrade to Propers/Repacks.

Values:

• prefer-and-upgrade
• do-not-upgrade-automatically
• do-not-prefer

sonarr:
  settings:
    media_management:
      propers_and_repacks: "do-not-prefer"

Use 'Do not Prefer' to sort by preferred word score over propers/repacks. Use 'Prefer and Upgrade' for automatic upgrades to propers/repacks.

Extract video information such as resolution, runtime and codec information from files.

This requires Sonarr to read parts of the file, which may cause high disk or network activity during scans.

Rescan the series folder after refreshing the series.

Values:

• always
• after_manual_refresh
• never

sonarr:
  settings:
    media_management:
      rescan_series_folder_after_refresh: "always"

NOTE: Sonarr will not automatically detect changes to files if this option is not set to always.

Change file date on import/rescan.

Values:

• none
• local-air-date
• utc-air-date

sonarr:
  settings:
    media_management:
      change_file_date: "none"

Episode files will go here when deleted instead of being permanently deleted.

Files in the recycle bin older than the selected number of days will be cleaned up automatically.

Set to 0 to disable automatic cleanup.

Set whether or not chmod should run when files are imported/renamed.

If you're unsure what this and the chmod/chown series of attributes do, do not alter them.

Permissions to set on media folders and files during import/rename. File permissions are set without execute bits.

This only works if the user running Sonarr is the owner of the file. It's better to ensure the download client sets the permissions properly.

Values:

• drwxr-xr-x/755
• drwxrwxr-x/775
• drwxrwx---/770
• drwxr-x---/750
• drwxrwxrwx/777

sonarr:
  settings:
    media_management:
      chmod_folder: "drwxr-xr-x"

Group name or gid. Use gid for remote file systems.

This only works if the user running Sonarr is the owner of the file. It's better to ensure the download client uses the same group as Sonarr.

This allows you to create a root path for a place to either place new imported downloads, or to allow Sonarr to scan existing media.

sonarr:
  settings:
    media_management:
      root_folders:
        - "/path/to/rootfolder"

Delete root folder definitions from Sonarr if they are not explicitly defined in Buildarr.

Before enabling this option, ensure all the root folders you want Sonarr to scan are defined in Buildarr, as Sonarr might remove imported media from its database when root folder definitions are deleted.

New in version 0.1.2.
