Match by Episode Title
Posted: 20 Aug 2018, 16:38
FileBot does take the episode title into consideration, but Season / Episode number matches always take priority if there is one, which may not always be what we want.
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 thus 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
The --mapper option can be used to strip episode numbers from the Episode object leaving only the episode title for matching:
