Just use a format such as this:
And you will get destination paths such as this:
Code: Select all
G:/Movies/Avatar (2009)/Avatar (2009).mp4

e.g.
By adding genre folders, you are explicitly making your library
not what Plex expects, since the Plex Naming Standard defines a specific file and folder structure, that that standard does
not entail genre folders:

Well, your choice. I just know what the Plex documentation says.
e.g.
{genre} is the first genre. It may not always be the one you want it to be though, since movies usually have many genres, and people may disagree on the order.

try something like so:
Code: Select all
{'G:/Movies - '}{genre}{'/' + ny}{'/' + ny}
By looking at your pic this can work for you:
Code: Select all
{'G:/Movies'}{genres.contains('Animation') ? '_Cartoon' : genres.contains('Horror') ? ' - Horror' : ''}{'/' + ny}{'/' + ny}

The format above will absolutely move the file into G: as the format will also yield an absolute path. It leaves now room for ambiguity.
If it does not, then you have not set the format. Please include screenshots so we can better see what you’re doing to better help you out.

based on Firestarter (1984)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087262
this is better for you:
Code: Select all
{'G:/Movies'}{omdb.genres.contains('Animation') ? '_Cartoon' : omdb.genres.contains('Horror') ? ' - Horror' :
''}{'/' + ny}{'/' + ny}
output:
G:/Movies - Horror/Firestarter (1984)/Firestarter (1984)
