Hello everyone,

I have imported all my movies in my google drive to google spread sheet, i want to rename the list of movies mentioned in spreadsheet/ text file to imdb id, is there a way to do it?

2) is there a way to modify the video format in file bot ? Example: if a movie is in .mkv format convert it to .mp4 with out loosing quality of video and audio.

You can drop in text files in Original Files and New Names. As a template for New Names, your text file should work. But if you want to load in a list of file paths into Original Files then those file paths must be absolute.

Unfortunately, FileBot cannot transcode video / audio / container formats.

FileBot only works with files. Unfortunately, FileBot does not work with lines in a text file.
