:arrow: Format Expressions allow you to customize how files are named and organized. The Format Expressions manual will get you started with custom format expressions. :idea: Please watch the video tutorial at 1:00 if you have trouble finding the Format Editor : https://i.imgur.com/bcvSeoJ.png https ...

:arrow: Q: How can I rename video files ripped from a DVD or BluRay disk? will get you started: If you rip video files from a DVD, then you will typically get file names that do not contain SxE numbers (e.g. Alias-V01D01T01.mp4) and thus cannot be matched to search.thetvdb TheTVDB or search.tmdb ...

If you have Microsoft Store purchase then you simply need to log into the Microsoft Store with the user that has the purchase and install FileBot from there. You will notably want to uninstall the non-Store edition of FileBot that you may have installed also, as to avoid confusion later. :arrow: How ...

Option A : Use the {di} duplicate index binding to add an index. Option B : Use fn.match() to match information from the file path . e.g. copy specific keywords: { fn.match(/EN COLOUR|EN NOIR/) } e.g. copy the - something something bit at the end whatever it may be: { fn.match(/ - (.+)[.]fr$/) }

CaptainKen wrote: ↑15 May 2025, 22:54 Just noticed one last item, which is how do I keep IMAX in the filename?

Match information from the file path will teach you how to do the IMAX thing:

Format: Select all

{ ' ' + fn.match(/IMAX/) }

there's no way to reduce {audio.Format_Commercial} to give a reduced number of English only audio stream values as shown below and as MediaInfo reports? :?: I don't know what that means exactly, but anything is possible. You mean to say you only want to print audio stream information for English ...

Yes. Please watch the How do I organize files for Plex? video tutorial at 0:54 to see the creation of hardlinks.

e.g. use << to append values to the season folder name:

Format: Select all

{drive}/{ plex.id << { " {$vf,$vc,$ac}" } }

Code: Select all

X:/TV Shows/Alias {tmdb-2046}/Season 01 {480p,x264,AC3}/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told

I'd also like to show the channels after each audio code listed as shown in the desired name. This will get progressively more difficult since you will need to loop over each audio stream and format the information as needed for each audio stream: { audio.collect{ it.Format_Commercial + ' ' + it ...

:idea: EXAMPLE 1: { audio.Format_Commercial } will give you [Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus] because the file has 2 audio streams: Format_Commercial : Dolby Digital Format_Commercial : Dolby Digital Plus :idea: EXAMPLE 2: { audio.Format_Commercial } will give you [Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby ...

What does the console output / log say when you run this command?

--log-file amc.log means that you will find the logs in the application data folder.

My code currently extracts the first english aco audio code, but I don't know how to add multiple audio aco's to the filename? {aco} already considers multiple audio streams but will generally only yield one value. There is no {aco} for all audio streams. {aco} is based on audio.Codec_Profile and ...

:?: What does the MediaInfo Inspector say for the file at hand? 1. You can use {audio} to access any audio stream property for all audio streams. 2. You can use {menu} to access chapter information. 3. Here's how I'd check if a specific subtitle language is available: { textLanguages =~ /eng ...

No worries. Please post the final command-line string when you have got a working solution. Might be useful for the next guy.

mayormemories wrote: ↑10 May 2025, 19:07 I think I just solved it! I right-clicked and went in preferences and changed the episode order to "airdate" instead of "DVD."

Indeed. DVD Order also seems to be missing a few episodes as well.

:idea: Here's what I get for TheTVDB › Gullah Gullah Island in Airdate Order on TheTVDB : $ filebot -list --db TheTVDB --order Airdate --q 258806 Gullah Gullah Island - 1x01 - Rain, Rain Go Away Gullah Gullah Island - 1x02 - Ron's Birthday Gullah Gullah Island - 1x03 - Charleston Market ...

Can you point out the specific series (ideally with TVDB link) or file path you're having trouble with?

You can add {country} to your custom movie format. See Format Expressions for details.

Format: Select all

Movies/{ country }/{ ~plex.id }

You can use Replace Characters, Words or Patterns to replace KR with Korean:

Format: Select all

{ country.replace('KR':'Korea') }

If you're organizing files for Plex, then you'll want to include the movie ID in the file path, that will ensure that the movie can be identified unambiguously regardless of movie name localization, local release date, etc: Movies/Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938) {tmdb-408}/Snow White and the ...

:!: FileBot Node is a wrapper for the amc script and thus very much ill-suited for a simple "move files into folders using the file name as folder name" type of use case. As far as a "Movies" folder being generated, that's because the default format is {plex.id} which generates target file paths ...

Please post sample file paths as text so that we can run tests. If possible, please include links to the subtitles that you would like to find but are unable to find via FileBot.

I gave strict a try, and I do like that it is picker about matches. However, strict matching mode doesn't bring up the manual match window to sort out the files it can't match automatically. Ideally, it would still give me the option to manually match the files which it couldn't. I recommend using ...

Many movies come with either an Extras or Featurettes folder and i'd like Filebot to ideally hardlink the folder (copy if not available). The Import companion files feature will do just that. You'll have to manually enable the feature though, by going to the setting and checking the checkbox. https ...

:?: What is the episode title of the Grey's Anatomy S21E16 file you have? :idea: FileBot fundamentally cannot reliably match files where the SxE number is either wrong or misleading (according to your selected database and episode order) especially if the episode title is missing from the file path ...

If possible, please add the name of the software so that we can give more specific advice in the future.
