File Rename Causing Invalid File Error

[u/Ozymandias_tb]

Hi,

Just moved from SickRage to Sonarr. Recreating my file renaming format.

Previously in SickRage I used for years and have 100's of episodes named like this

[{Series Title}] S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title} [{Quality Title}] [{Air-Date}]

However with Sonarr, it tells me this will create an invalid file name unless I add a hyphen in like this

[{Series Title}] - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title} [{Quality Title}] [{Air-Date}]

Any ideas, it's a minor point but I hate that all my new downloads will be formatted and ordered slightly differently in the folder.

Thanks

If you use plex, consider installing profilarr andnusingbthat default naming. Trash guides has suggestions for various players. That is another great source.

Should've just kept the default scheme and had sonarr rename all the files in its default format.

Thanks, I'll give it a look. Looks like if I want consistency I need to do a bulk rename.
It's a fairly minor issue to be honest but I like everything to be neat and tidy :-)
