Adding arguments to only subtitle files

Post by brooky1010 »

Hey,
Is there a way when I drag my entire movie folder in it renames all the srt files to the same title as the movie but with '.nl' added to it? So plex can see that it's a Dutch subtitle.

Thanks in advance!

Yes. You can just drag in all the files. If you use the {plex} format, then the language tag will be added to all subtitle files. If your subtitle files are not language tagged yet, then FileBot will use statistical language detection to auto-detect the subtitle language.

However, depending on your exact situation, there's another option which might be infinitely more efficient for your particular case.

If you really just want to add ".nld" to all subtitle files, without the need for any fancy movie auto-detection / language auto-detection and so forth, then you can simply use Plain File mode to add ".nld" to all file names:

Read this:

And apply a format such as this to all your subtitle files:

Code: Select all

{fn}.nld
