Comment on Could somebody share a working Arr stack in docker with me?
Carl@anarchist.nexus 1 week agoAh 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.
