Hello,
the official documentation about naming of movie files states: "The video files within the folder should have the same name as the folder."
As it says "should", I want to know if someone uses any other way of naming their movies and what downsides come with it.
I don't like the suggested way as path names get very long for movies with long names and because of the redundancy in it. I would prefer to use a name like "movie.mkv" (literally) for every movie and keep the real movie name in the folder name only. For multiple versions I would want to use "movie - 1080p.mkv" and "movie - 2160p.mkv" and so on.
Has anyone any experience with or opinion on this idea?
