Recently finished setting up all the ARR services and I already had a lot of movies placed in nice folders for collections. Upon import into radarr it does not like this and fails to see most of them. I said fine and went into some of my collection folders to read the movies in there and then it complains about "Multiple root folders are missing for movie collections:" . So not only would I have to add root folders for each collection but then I have to go back through and rename each one of those to be what radarr wants them to be? Is there any way to automate this I looked through there wiki and didn't see anything about collection making. Or do most people not put movies in actuall collection folders such as movies/Star Wars/Star Wars Episode One file

Thank you

The only reason I have multiple root folders is to differentiate between tv and anime (e.g. western and anime/japanese) productions in sonarr. Radarr has only one folder.
But I follow the arrs sorting system as the be all and end of all.
Collections are done in Jellyfin.

When I started my collection I manually imported about 50 movies, 2-4 big shows and identified, tagged and then imported about 400 songs more or less manually in lidarr.

Yes this is what I have found out for some reason thought radarr would make those collections in folders for me aswell not sure why. Plex, and kometa make collections for my viewing aswell but just liked the organization of sorted folders. I have changed to the recommended layout and all is good now. Thanks :)

Radarr does manage collections but more in a management view. Files are sorted in their individual folders regardless
