multiple srt in subfolder to movie

Post by soob »

a lot of movies come in the format;
/folder messy name of movie/filename of movie with messy name.mkv
(where mkv can be mp4,avi,etc as well)
under that folder there is a ./subs folder which will have multiple subtitles something like;
/subs/english.srt
/subs/spanish.srt
I want to be able to rename the folder, rename the video file regardless of extension, rename the srt to the movie name but only english, move the srt to be alongside the movie not in a subdirectory. I can do it semi manually but it's complicated.

eg.
/example movie 2016 1080p DTS blahblah/example movie 2016 1080p DTS blahblah.mkv
renames to
/example movie 2016/example movie 2016.mkv
and
example movie 2016 1080p DTS blahblah/subs/english.srt
renames to (note moving srt to beside the mkv)
/example movie 2016/example movie 2016.srt
and all other srt are ignored

The movie rename is easy but the srt I cannot find a solution to. In fact right now using {movie}/{movie} the subs/*.srt are each detected as a CD part. Is this possible with the gui? Alternatively can I get it to completely ignore the subs directory?

1.
Have you tried playing with the format?

Code: Select all

X:/Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}){'.'+lang}
@see http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2#p51


2.
If you want to only process video files, then you can just only drop video files (e.g. search *.mkv -> Select All) or use Presets (with an appropriate file filter).
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.

I played with 1. a bit more using absolute paths and it works ok. It still does all languages but I can live with that.

Thanks.
