Radarr: Movies marked as missing if year is not in folder/filename

[nutski]

I've imported all my movies but quite a few still show as 'Missing'
It appears that every movie where the folder has the year in brackets has imported correctly, if the folder isn't in this format it fails.

Yeah, I'm having this too. I imported all my 1200 movies manually, but about 20% found the movie folder, but it's marked at "missing".

[mrowlinson]

Is there a timeframe for the 0.3 release? Really sucks not being able to import my library and start managing it in Radarr until this is fixed. I'd also love an option to be able to just bulk import everything so I don't have to hit the plus button on every item for the over 2000 movies I have in my library.

In my opinion, while it can be very tedious, all this "issue" does for me is force me to organize (rename) my movies better. Radarr (and Sonarr) are much happier when naming is spot on.

For the record, my naming is as follows and I do not have issues any more:
X:\Batman Begins (2005)\Batman Begins.mkv

Also...Radarr is in BETA. Going to have to deal with stuff ya'll. ;)

[seanvree]

I also found that if you remove the movies that were not imported, then drop them in the drone folder, then manually import them from the drone folder, it picked up 90% of the movies that weren't found after the initial import.

[onedr0p]

Why yes, yes we do. Why would I want the movie and the movies metadata (subs, artwork, NFO etc) all in one directory for all movies?

Anyways this isn't the place for that discussion, feel free to join our discord if you have any comments or questions.

[mrowlinson]

Why was this closed? This still isn't working for me on the latest update.

[onedr0p]

Folder should have year in it to process correctly..

[mrowlinson]

So the answer is to just not fix the issue and tell everyone too bad?

[onedr0p]

As was said in a previous post.. Radarr (and Sonarr) are much happier when naming is spot on. Meaning we cannot hold everyone's hand and appease every request made. It's a standard to have movie name and year in folder and filename in order to get an exact match from TMDb. Leaving out year may cause problems further down the road for you when the movie titles are ambiguous.

[mrowlinson]

Or you could just make a best guess, which usually works with everything else that's uses TMDb, and allow the user to fix an incorrect match themselves.

[onedr0p]

I think we need to agree on a standard for minimum requirements for a movie file and folder name and that includes title and year. Is that too much to ask?

[onedr0p]

Moreover all the developers have agreed to support the same folder/files that Plex does: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200381023-Naming-Movie-files

[mrowlinson]

They strongly recommend those naming standards which I can understand. Plex will still try to match them even if they're not though. They don't say if they're not named to that standard too bad, we're just going to ignore those and say those things are missing.

[onedr0p]

Plex has a team of paid developers and a QA team to make sure things work correctly, this is a FOSS project with only a few devs. We aren't looking at creating a guessing module when it's easier for us and the user just to follow a standard naming convention.

Feel free to help contribute if you think this is that important.

[Paradoxum]

So is plex naming convention support in the pipeline or? I'm surprised you can't just completely customize it

[samsonious]

It already successfully guessed the movie to import it and determine it was missing, it shouldn't need to make another guess to know the file named the same as the folder it managed to guess might just be the same movie.
