Selecting Absolute Airdate Order effectively allows us to ignore the typical SxE patterns and match by Episode Title instead. The {order} binding can then be used to format file names with normal Airdate SxE Order.
This works because Absolute Airdate Order uses the airdate (e.g. 2002-10-18) as episode number (e.g. 20021018) and never matches typical SxE patterns, which allows the title (e.g. Jaynestown) to take precedence.GUI: Match by Title
The Presets feature allows you to create easy access shortcuts and custom Match by Episode Title buttons. The key is using Episode Order: Absolute Airdate Order for matching and then using a format such as {order.airdate.plex.name} for the destination path.
CLI: Match by Title
--order AbsoluteAirdate in combination with --format {order.airdate.plex.name} will do the trick.
e.g.
Code: Select all
$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheTVDB -non-strict --order AbsoluteAirdate --format {order.airdate.plex.name}
