I run plex from Docker on a local linux server. I have sonarr configured but its not configured perfectly so it's downloading but not importing right now. Thats a separate issue I need to figure out.

For now, I have a large library that I would like to organize and rename. It all works, its in plex and shows up and such, but it's not consistent. I have some files that have spaces in them and others with dots (preferred). I have season folders like 01 and 1, etc.

I could set up a local share and connect filebot to that I imagine, but am hoping there's maybe a more modern solution that also doesn't require a desktop app.

I don't have a good solution for your existing library, but sonarr can be configured to consistently rename things as it imports.

At least for tv shows, you can use RenameMyTV which is pretty good. Films… you’ll have to find another solution for those, but at least you can take care of batch renaming tv shows.

That said, you should get that import issue worked out. Could be an issue with drive mapping or permissions…
