Little help with TV sorting currently I'm using %dn/%dn.%ext which was great compatible with torrents name scheme and it was working for the Plex.
Now with Emby its 99.9% incompatible.
It seems Emby is needing something like this
TV/
/Ahsoka (year)/
/Season 01/
/Title *E0* episode name.ext
But I would like to retain original nzb %dn.%ext name as file name I just would like to add first and second folder /Ahsoka (year)/Season 0*/%dn.%ext
How can I do this?

Have you checked the wiki? We even have some examples that are almost exactly like that.
First give it a try yourself based on the documentation and examples, otherwise we can help :)

Ok I presume I should add something like this to be emby compliant

%sn (y%)/Season %s/%dn/%dn.%ext
or if additional folder %dn/ is the problem

%sn (%y)/Season %s/%dn.%ext

Will it work with %sn (%y) because I didn't saw (%y) in the examples of TV sorting and series year is their requirement.

As I saw Amzn , DSNP, Web-DL and other surplus info is killing Emby recognition algorithm but for me its one of the most important info.

Seems nzb indexer doesn't carry year for tv series I'm getting empty year after Series name.

Either the indexer has to supply it or it has to be part of the filename.

But, if you want such renaming you should use Sonarr. It uses the TV database and can have much more metadata available to rename exactly the way you want.
Just remember to disable Sorting when using Sonarr.
