Place TVDB episode ID into each filename

[djizle]

hello, i was curious if by any chance you would be able to add the ability to place the TVDB Episode ID number into the filename. i would rather use that ID than the CRC32 as once i reencode a file that CRC is useless. you can already do it for movies and i always get 100% scraping results that way so i was hoping i could do the same for my tv shows & anime.

if there is currently a way to do this i would be greatly pleased with any help that could be provided.


Thanks,

djizle

What are you trying to achieve? If you have extended attributes supported and enabled it'll already dump the object model as json string into xattr fields.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:xattr "Firefly - 1x01 - The Train Job.mkv"

Code: Select all

D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST\Firefly - 1x01 - The Train Job.mkv
	filename: firefly.101.mkv
	metadata: {"@type":"net.sourceforge.filebot.web.Episode","seriesName":"Firefly","seriesStartDate":{"year":2002,"month":9,"day":20},"season":1,"episode":1,"title":"The Train Job","absolute":2,"special":null,"airdate":{"year":2002,"month":9,"day":20},"series":{"@type":"net.sourceforge.filebot.web.TheTVDBSearchResult","seriesId":78874,"name":"Firefly"}}

@see http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... &t=5#p5394

EDIT: In layman terms, filebot is storing all info for later reference regardless of the filename.
