Drop each movie into its own folder that is named appropriately

Post by Hoosier205 »

Alright, I'm a bit in the weeds here. I've used Filebot for a long time, but my usage has been fairly simple. All of my movies are named as I would like them to be. All I want to do is drop each movie into its own folder that is named appropriately.

I am using PlexDrive on my macOS. A friend gave me what is either a preset or a command line that he uses. I know I need to alter it, but I don't exactly understand what I'm looking at. Not only the changes it makes, but I also need it to point to MY mount point which is named differently than his. When I look an example of a movie I have, this is what I see in the file path bar in Finder on my Mac:

OSXFUSE Volume 0 (plexdrive_test5) > Movies > 12 Angry Men (1957).mkv

This is what he sent me:

Code: Select all

~/mtng/Plex/Movies/{n.ascii()} ({y})/{n.ascii().space('.')}.{y}.{vf}{'.'+source}.{vc}{'.'+ac}{'.'+group}
It might as well be a foreign language to me :)

The format for this would be as follows:

Code: Select all

{folder}/{fn}/{fn}
