Sonarr Episode Name Checker

Script to check for TV Show and Anime episodes that may be named with "Episode ##" or "TBA" that should not be, IE: episode name data was missing or incorrect within Sonarr when the episode was imported. Output can be displayed right in the CLI once the script completes:

And/or a Discord notification can be sent to a custom webhook:

Setting it up

1. Clone or download the repo.
2. Properly set your media storage path in the script.
3. Modify the two exclude list text files to meet your needs.
   • If you do not have anything to exclude make sure you blank out the file because they are both required to be there.
4. Determine and set your corresponding column value.
   • Mine is like this: /mnt/data/media/Videos/TV Shows/Show Name/Season 1/Episode Name
   • It ends up as column 7 with / as the delimiter because /mnt is actually the SECOND one and not the first.
   • For a more visual representation: (1)/(2)mnt/(3)data/(4)media/(5)Videos/(6)TV Shows/(7)Show Name/
5. Set any other variables you would like to set.
   • If notify is set to true, but you did not set the webhook variable the script will prompt you to enter it the first time you run it.

:warning: NOTE: Depending on your directory structure this might not work for you. It is possible that you might need to put a path, run the script, adjust the path, run the script, etc. to get all your results.

It can take some trial and error for you to get all of the shows you need/want to exclude as you will want to run the script and then check the shows that are listed for whether or not their episodes are actually named Episode ## or not.

:whale: Docker image (hopefully) coming soon!

Scheduling

Now that you have it configured so that everything is working properly, you can use a cronjob to schedule the script to run automatically.

Here's an example of running the script every day at 4am:

# Run the Sonarr Episode Name Checker script
0 4 * * * /home/tronyx/scripts/SonarrEpisodeNameChecker.sh
