Windows version does not add season and episode when renaming?

Post by ThrawnJL »

So I use 2 filebots. One on my NAS running in docker and on on windows.

both of them have the same version (5.1.3) and both run with the same string setup

Format: Select all

{n.colon(' - ')} ({y}){' CD'+pi}.{aco} {vf}{subt}
On my docker install it works as intended.

On my windows PC it all of a sudden does not add season number nor episode number just the name year and sound format.

Any idea what is going wrong? I tried removing and installing again but no luck.

Thank you all in advance!

The format above explicitly does not generate season / episode numbers. This is likely movie format, and not an episode format. Please read Format Expressions for details.


An episode format would look like this:

Format: Select all

{n} - {s00e00} - {t}
n ... series name
s00e00 ... season / episode numbers
t ... episode title

:idea: If you do not use {s00e00} in your format then you will not get season / episode numbers in the target file path.



:arrow: I recommend using the {plex} format for convenience. The {plex} binding will generate the correct path for the episode at hand. You can add media information as well.

Format: Select all

{ plex.id % { " [$aco, $vf]" } }
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
