Unofficial "collection" torrents (lemmy.zip)

Morning all,

Quick question, how do y'all handle big "unofficial" collection torrents with weird folder/file names that were manually added to the download client?

Is there a nice tool to use or are manual scripts the only way?

Also, how can I tell my *arr stack to look for files inside collection torrents too? Say I want Iron Man 1, but the only torrent with sufficient seeds is e.g. Phase-1.MCU.1080x720p or some weird ass name like that, that contains Iron Man 1 along with all the other files. How can I tell Radarr to use that torrent?

Thanks! Have a good one

EDIT: Apologies, should have specified, I did get this working before posting here. Ran a bash script to create subfolders for each *.mkv in the parent folder, and cleaned up the names with regex. Then went to Wanted -> Manual Import and Radarr could successfully identify the movies. But the name cleanup was the most important I think.

So a tool would have to rely on something other than the name to identify the movie like a fingerprint or somesuch

Click the little man shaped icon to the right of the download bar. That allows you to import files manually from that torrent.

When I do that, it flags the missing "movie", so I'd have to manually add each individual movie for that to work.

Ah, yeah, Radarr is a library-first kind of deal. You are supposed to add to it and then find the files.

As someone else mentioned you can add collections, there is probably one for your specific interests. If not you do need to do it manually, or you have to manually copy the files then import an existing library and manually match them there.

Add the MCU collection, and it to monitored.
