Re: Renaming Music Videos
Plain File Mode custom format expressions as used above will have to be tailored to your file paths. So "simple naming" means nothing for that purpose, because it doesn't actually tell us how files are named. You'll want to specify exactly how files are named, and include example file paths.

Re: Ebook and Audiobook
You can use a custom --def unsortedFormat for dealing with unsorted files.
e.g. default unsorted format:
Use Plain File Mode to prototype your plain file format in the GUI first.
e.g. default unsorted format:
Code: Select all
--def unsortedFormat="Unsorted/{f.structurePathTail}"

Your specification does not specify the file name, so we will assume {n} - {s00e00} - {t} standard naming here. :!: Note that FileBot does not rename folders.

The log doesn't show any errors. If the progress indicator keeps spinning, then just let it spin until you actually get an error message. If nothing happens, then please take a screenshot of nothing happening, and which steps you've taken to get there, e.g. buttons clicked and file paths loaded.

csv(...) will split the line into a key/value pair on the first separator, and everything past the first separator will be interpreted as the value. i.e. your sample csv line would be interpreted like so: def map = ['tt74964' : '/Movies/Based On/Comics;Iron Man [2008]'] and you would then write you...
