Search By Episode name?

Post by arielreyes001 »

After an unfortunate incident with some regular expressions I misnamed a bunch of my files. Episodes of a show (popeye) now have the right episode name, but the wrong season and episode number. It's a sad mess. Anyway, the question is: is there's a way to have filebot search by episode name instead of season and ep. #? I use the GUI because I'm not very familiar with command lines. If there's a way to do this with GUI, great! how? if there's some other way, please let me know.
Thanks!

FileBot does match by episode titles, but episode numbers take priority if there is a conflict. Just remove SxE numbers from the filenames and FileBot will naturally match by episode titles.

Thanks for the tip! I tried removing the episode numbers just now and it didn't work. I am attaching the results. Any thoughts or suggestions?

If you have previously renamed files with FileBot they're already tagged with SxE information and that will also take precedence.

Here's a script that can clear xattr metadata:

Alternatively you can just match everything up manually (See FAQ #2):
