Folder Structure help

Post by ph0enix_75 »

I originally used the default settings to rename all my TVshows with filebot, so they came out (tvshow name)\(season)(episode number 1x01 episode name) this was great and worked perfect.

I after found that utorrent script for renaming file after download, also worked great but its using a different format type for the naming convention (\tv shows\seriesname\season\episode - SxxExx - episode name.

i like the naming convention of the script so i played with the filebot option but i messed up all my folders and can't get them back the way i want.

My original folder was already named TV Shows and when i go into it now my folder are duplicated and now look this way \tv shows\seriesname\season\seriesname\season\episode - SxxExx - episode name.

The end result wanted would be keeping my original folder called TV Shows and the content inside be like this \seriesname\season\episode - SxxExx - episode name i cant seem to get it that way everything i tried juste created more folder structure.

Thanks for you all who can help i am really new to this and don't know what i am doing right now and can't seem to be able to fix it.

Are you using relative paths?

Move files relative to it's current location:

Code: Select all

{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}
Move files to an absolute location:

Code: Select all

D:/path/to/new/structure/{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}
The formats used by the amc script are shared here:

After moving files to a new root folder there should only be empty folders / useless files left behind, which can be easily be deleted in one go.

Ok, using the full path worked and it fixed all my folders the way i want them. The way i do it now after the download is finished and it created the folder called TV SHows with all the episodes the way i want it i just move it over to my Qnap and it works great.

My last question is this, the downloads are done on my computer and i have a mapped drive for my tv shows. Z:\ is the letter i have assing on my PC that points to my Qnap and in that Z:\ mapped drive i have a folder called TV Shows so Z:\TV Shows and all my series are in there and plex points to that folder.

Can i make it automatic from Utorrent to copy my new downloads to Z:\TV Shows and keep the naming structure i have? or maybe i am doing it wrong and there is a better way to do it that you can suggest?

Thanks

There's a plethora of docs.

@see http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... =215#p1561

If it doesn't make sense to you, then you're just lacking a bit of basics, and the internet will surely help with that. ;)
