Renaming files with sequence

[MisterM]

Hi, I am wondering if there's a way of renaming tv show specials by creating a sequence which is
[Show Name] - S00E00 - [Original Filename].ext ?
I tried making a sequence with List but it doesn't dynamically take the filename.

A.
If you want to use the List panel:

1. Drop a list of files into List
2. Change format according to your requirements:

   Code: Select all

   Show Name - S00E00 - {fn}

B.
However, if the specials are in the database, then why not process files as usual? If you have trouble with matching, then there's various semi-automated ways of manually fixing matches:

Thanks, I will give this a try and well because they're not in the database. I checked TvDB beforehand and there are zero specials listed. These specials were ripped from DVD.
