Alternative to {media.filename}

Post by Xazmah »

Hi,

So I know that to make subtitle filenames take the name of the nearby video file {media.filename} is used, it work great with local files but in case of a mounted storage like Google Drive it's slow because the usage of mediainfo, the bigger the files the process become more slow and use a lot of bandwidth, is it possible to achieve the same thing with a different scheme maybe?

If {media.filename} works for you then, {mediaFile.name} should give you the same result except faster.

mediaFile.name does work but it keep the file extension at the end, any way to remove it?

For example

Mare.of.Easttown.S01E01.Miss.Lady.Hawk.Herself.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-TEPES.mkv.mkv
Mare.of.Easttown.S01E01.Miss.Lady.Hawk.Herself.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-TEPES.mkv.eng.srt
