If you use AniDB then the folder/file names won't necessarily be compatible with TheTVDB. The examples you posted are definitely not well-named and have not been processed with FileBot.
Can you define well named? Because since 2014 all my movies / tvshows / anime have been using filebot. The above used the below format (for tvshows/anime series).
Code: Select all
{n.space('.').replace(/]/,'.')+'.'}{s00e00}{episode.special ? '.'+t.space('_') : ''}{'.'+vf}{any{'.'+source}{'.'+fn.match(/BD|Blu-ray/)}}{any{'.'+group}{'.NOGRP'}}
My process for a new show or existing:
1. [batch]If the show is a new show, create the series folder as x-jat or eng. Also call artwork.tvdb and remove unwanted pictures (banner etc).
2. [batch]If the show has 2=> seasons change to the layered folder structure (specials are always stored in their own folder).
3. [filebot]Rename and move the file based on the format (passing along the correct path to filebot). Log to separate file.
4. [batch]When job runs, refresh emby + plex.
If you mean bad naming because i remove spaces, or do not keep the episode title in the file name, or store single seasons in a flat folder, i do this for referencing and i prefer the file naming as clean as possible.
Also keeping the x-jat as the root folder is a easy way for me to add an additional title to both plex/emby. This always both names to be searchable (with tvdb being the primary).
I have only had one show since moving to this layout that was not correctly detected in kodi/plex/emby and that was "
www.working!!" which plex/emby confused as working!!
By no mean is this a dig at you, I am just confused as what you consider "well named"?
EDIT: Should mention i only use tvdb for anime. Currently I query anidb for the x-jat title. I was considering writing a single groovy script to do all the processing rather than using both filebot and batch/cmd.
