I’ve been using a lot of torrents for my jellyfin server and my current process is the rename the files to something similar to whats found in the jellyfin documentation around naming and had a couple questions.

Currently, almost all the torrents i find default to something similar to this:

LinuxISO.DIRECTOR’S.CUT.1080p.10bit.BluRay.6CH.x265.HEVC-PSA

I usually change the name in the in the qBitTorrent client before downloading to something like LinuxISO.HEVC-PSA but was wondering if there was a way to avoid having to do the renamings. Its not really that tedious but its more so If im wanting to seed files again later, I would need the file names to match exactly. What I’ve found in my search is software like sonarr and radar could possibly create links? I’m not very familiar with what that does exactly but I was also wondering if its possible to have Jellyfin read the name via a sub folder such as Movies/LinusISO/ or from metadata.

Anyone else know the least tedious workaround for this? Can Jellyfin actually just read the original file naming?

    Why are you renaming it in the first place? You’re not even adding any new info (like the release date to the title) so why bother?

    Not sure about your torrent client but renaming a file in my client (Transmission) doesn’t prevent it from being seeded.
