Need help transferring to new Mac
Posted: 10 Apr 2019, 01:47
Hello,
I recently setup a new Mac. I have looked at my old presets and tried to figure out how they worked. A friend of mine setup the presets a long time ago and I have been just using them. I have one for renaming movies and one for renaming tv shows.
I have tried to re-setup the presets looking at what is in my old installation on my other computer but nothing is working right. Is there a way to copy the files from my old machine and just put them back into the same folders in my new machine so the presets work on my new machine? If not, maybe someone can provide me with a little help in getting my 2 presets configured.
I have read through a lot of the FAQ, searched for the answers and most of what I am finding is way more complicated than what I want. I just need Filebot to rename the files from something like
MOVIES: "The.xxxxxxxx.2019.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.HEVC.H265-CMRG.mkv", to "The xxxxxxxx (2019).mkv"
TV: "the.orville.s02e10.720p.web.x264-tbs.mkv", to "The Orville S02E10 - Blood of Patriots.mkv"
I am using a Plex server, I usually put my new files into a temp folder, rename them and then move them to where they need to go. From what I see, there may be an easier way to do that. It would be great if it would just rename / move the files to where they go but if that is super complicated I am happy moving them manually. I just need to get my Filebot working again.
Thank you for the help and apologies if I seem a bit daft at the moment.
