These types are:
- Standard

## Standard
Standard shows are what most people would watch on TV. This includes shows like `Friends` and miniseries like `Band of Brothers`. Most of my TV Shows fall in the *Standard* category, which i ripped from DVDs or Blu-Rays in order to save them. I've had some bad experiences with disks, where they stopped working after some years, so now i rip all my physical media as a backup.
Standard tv shows should be located in season folders and named for each episode. My folder structure looks something like:

When looking at the naming of each episode, it is important for me to be able to find the show and season, if i never lose my folder structure. A nice to have into is the source, where it mostly is Bluray or DVD. With Blurays i like to to also show the resolution.
Depending on the show, I have multiple audios available and/or subtitles. In the case of Game of Thrones, the example shows English, French and Spanish audio and English, French, Spanish and Danish subtitles.
## Anime
Anime is similar to *Standard* but still varies enough to not be handeled the same.

With anime i like to add the VideoDynamicRange (HDR/SDR) and VideoBitDepth (eg. 10 bit or 8 bit). Animes also often have an absolute number, which makes it easier to follow.
## Daily
I have no daily shows, as i really don't follow late-night shows, but a setup would be similar to the previous two:
```
TV Shows
│
└───Series Title (year)
│ │
│ └───Season x
│ │ Series Title - YYYY-MM-DD - Episode Title.ext
│ │ ...
```
Instead of a season and episode number, we use a year-month-day numbering, as each episode airs daily.
## Software
I wont go into details about ripping and converting the files, but instead just talk about the organizing.
I used to have a bunch of bash scripts that used ffprobe and ffmpeg to determine the information for each file. This proved to be cumbersome and slow. Instead i decided to try [tinyMediaManager](https://www.tinymediamanager.org/), which works wonders. Once problem is that it is easiest to use through the GUI. After moving to a headless NAS, it was too slow to VNC to the server in order to organize my media.
Instead i started using Sonarr purely for media management. Sonarr runs through Docker and and after ripping a disk, i add each file to my import folder and Sonarr can then be accessed through a browser for management.
