Unofficial "collection" torrents

Morning all,

Quick question, how do y’all handle big “unofficial” collection torrents with weird folder/file names that were manually added to the download client?

Is there a nice tool to use or are manual scripts the only way?

Also, how can I tell my *arr stack to look for files inside collection torrents too? Say I want Iron Man 1, but the only torrent with sufficient seeds is e.g. Phase-1.MCU.1080x720p or some weird ass name like that, that contains Iron Man 1 along with all the other files. How can I tell Radarr to use that torrent?

Thanks! Have a good one

EDIT: Apologies, should have specified, I did get this working before posting here. Ran a bash script to create subfolders for each *.mkv in the parent folder, and cleaned up the names with regex. Then went to Wanted -> Manual Import and Radarr could successfully identify the movies. But the name cleanup was the most important I think.

So a tool would have to rely on something other than the name to identify the movie like a fingerprint or somesuch
