Implement multiple versions of the same movie

[samsonwilliams]

Hi.

Any ability to implement multiple versions of the same movie?

I.e. Blade Runner - Director's cut, Blade Runner - Theatrical Version, Star Wars - Original, Star Wars - Remastered, Any Version - Extended Version? It's often difficult to have variants of the movie in the library.

I may have missed the search when looking for this.

Your custom format simply needs to generate a unique target file path for each unique input file.



e.g. use the {tags} binding to match known editions / tags from the file name to generate a unique file path:

Format: Select all

{ ny } { tags }

e.g. copy & paste arbitrary patterns from the original file name to generate a unique file path:

Format: Select all

{ ny }{ ' - ' + fn.match(/Director's Cut|Theatrical Version|Extended Version/) }

e.g. use the {plex} binding and the {edition} binding to generate a unique file path:

Format: Select all

{ ~plex.id ** { " {edition-$edition}" } }
