Settings

Movie Settings is where you set defaults and policies that apply only to the Movies facet.

  • To access: Movies → Settings → child page in the left sidebar
  • To view: Requires manageCatalogSettings app permission
  • Also visible to: Also accept manageSystemSettings
  • Library: Root folders, scan behavior, and ownership expectations.
  • General: Movie facet defaults, add behavior, and sidecar behavior.
  • Quality: Default quality profile and movie-specific quality behavior.
  • Renaming: Folder and file naming templates.
  • Routing: Which configured provider instances and rules the Movies facet may use.

Order matters here: add a new movie root before adding more titles, set or confirm global profiles before changing movie defaults, and adjust rename templates before running a large cleanup. Make one change at a time, then validate with a small title sample before broad library work.
