Using collections in the naming scheme - is this possible?

Post by LynxTWO »

Hello! I've been using Filebot for years and I just started adding Media Companion to the list of tools I use to manage a fairly extensive movie library. I noticed that Media Companion sorts movies into collections as needed, which is really convenient and PLEX doesn't mind.

This is my current movie naming scheme:

Format: Select all

D:/{plex} - [{Resolution}, {vc} {bitdepth} bit {vbr}, {ac} {af} {abr}]
Any improvement suggestions are welcome!

I was also wondering if it is possible for FileBot to sort by collections in the naming scheme. For example:

James Bond Collection/[James Bond Movies in separate folders as above]

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Yes, the {collection} binding will give you the movie collection name:

Format: Select all

{ collection }

e.g.

Format: Select all

D:/Movies/{ collection }/{ ~plex }

Beautiful! Thanks so much! I did have to make one adjustment, I had to replace "{plex}" with "{ny}/{n} ({y})" since otherwise it became

Code: Select all

D:/Movies/[collection name]/Movies/[movie name]
instead of:

Code: Select all

D:/Movies/[collection name]/[movie name]
So the naming scheme that works is:

Format: Select all

D:/Movies/{collection}/{ny}/{n} ({y}) - [{vf}, {vc} {bitdepth} bit {vbr}, {ac} {af} {abr}]
