Comment on Could somebody share a working Arr stack in docker with me?
Carl@anarchist.nexus 3 weeks agoMy only guess is that they were trying to map their config/downloads/library folders to the same location. And yeah, that probably wouldn’t work.

Poor explanation on my part. I had to move each of my movies from /movies/movie.mkv to /movies/folder/movie.mkv before Radarr could import them. I gave up after that so when I get off work today I’ll be able to actually import them and see if it moves and renames them this time.

Ah yeah, that’s because it will use the folder to store extra files as well, like subtitles, metadata, etc… Just dumping every media file into a single “Movies” library isn’t great, because you’ll have a ton of overlapping files. Separating them into their own folders allows you to store those extra files alongside the media.

I get that part, I just didn’t expect it to be incapable of starting with loose files. I’d like them properly foldered.

I see. I think you can do that, but it will need to be done during the initial setup. You could also try FileBot for the initial file renames, if you can’t get the initial file discovery and setup working.
