How to Rename?

[carloslozada]

Hi Guys I'm new on Filebot and I just paid the Mac version trough the app store. I would like some help overhere if is possible.

I'm looking to rename my movies and series in this order.

/TV Shows
/Grey's Anatomy
/Season 01
Grey's Anatomy - s01e01.avi
Grey's Anatomy - s01e02 - The First Cut is the Deepest.avi
Grey's Anatomy - s01e03.mp4
/Season 02
Grey's Anatomy - s02e01.avi
Grey's Anatomy - s02e02.mkv
Grey's Anatomy - s02e03.m4v

/Movies
/Avatar (2009)
Avatar (2009).mkv
/Batman Begins (2005)
Batman Begins (2005).mp4
Batman Begins (2005).eng.srt

This will also be taken from directory A and moved to directory B - also knowing if in directory B is already the folders in place and I just merging the same folders and adding the new item that it will be the next episode.

I used to use the Renamer on Windows and works flawless but there's no work for Mac.

SO now That i decided to move with Filebot I would like some help over here

Regards

Organize your media files:
1. Drag media files onto "Original Files"
2. Click "Fetch Data" and select a database
3. Hit "Rename"!

What exactly are you struggling with?

If you want to move/rename files into a Plex-compatible structure you may want to adjust the naming scheme to something like this:

Code: Select all

{home}/Media/{plex}

This is a built-in preset. It'll work for both Episode and Movie types. Use Edit Format to set the format for each type.

Hi thanks for your quick reply.

I see you guys added a plex version already but how can i define where {plex} should be? it's currently going to a new created folder in my c folder - and that's not where i need it to go.

Regards.

It's your format. You say where files are moved. Just specify an absolute path as your format template.

Code: Select all

/path/to/media/{plex}

Just play with it a little. You'll figure it out.

HI, This is great!!! Thank you very much for such a great Software, Now I just need to master myself with custom configurations.

But One more question, can this work in an Automated way? like scheduled to run the presets?

The Presets feature in the GUI might allow you to streamline things a little bit:

Complete automation is possible via the filebot command-line tools, but this is only recommended for advanced users that have at least some command-line skills. I'd start by looking into the amc script, but if you've never used the console, it's probably best to just stick with the GUI.
