Custom Naming Scheme

Post by Yammers »

I am currently using the following for naming my plex media files however i am looking for a scheme that will do the following

Z:\Plex\Shared Movies\Movies/{any{collection}{n+'('+y+')'}}/{n} {'('+y+')'}{' CD'+pi

Create a folder with the Name of the movie and date then move the film into that folder whist naming it,

exanoke

Folder Name
Avatar (200) - Film Name Avatar

If there is mire than one film with the same name for example Batman create the folder name with a date range then inside the folder just name the files as above, I also like the idea of adding in meta date like rating Studio etc

Z:\Plex\Shared Movies\Movies/

Where exactly are you stuck? Looks like your current format already does use a nice Name (Year) naming scheme.

You can add additional information by using the appropriate bindings, e.g. {director}, {productionCompanies}, etc.

e.g.

Code: Select all

{collection} {cy.join('-')}/{ny}

Code: Select all

Avatar Collection 2009-2027/Avatar (2009)
:idea: The {cy} collection year binding was introduced somewhat recently, so you may need the latest FileBot 4.8.6 beta release for that one.
