I'm naming for Emby (Premiere)
I have realized after months of manually naming Movie folders and files that I had a typo in my key macro that I use for manually naming the movies. I have TMDBIB instead of TMDBID...
3 Days in Malay (2023) [tmdbib=1152624]
I know, just use Filebot for all of my naming and I probably will get my old self to switch to it for Movies. I use it now (Lifetime license) just for TV Shows.
I am too coding-challenged to figure this out, so: Is there a way that I could use Filebot to go through all of those media folders and files and replace my typo with the proper TMDBID?
Thank you for any thoughts on this!

You can use Plain File Mode with the following plain file format:
If you need to do this replacement on the entire file path, and not just the file name, then you can use this plain file format:
I recommend using the {plex.id} format in the future which takes care of adding the correct ID marker.
Format: Select all
{ fn.replace('tmdbib', 'tmdbid') }
If you need to do this replacement on the entire file path, and not just the file name, then you can use this plain file format:
Format: Select all
{ f.path.replace('tmdbib', 'tmdbid') }

This is fantastic, THANK YOU!!!
I'm sorry to be so challenged, my brain just isn't wired for this kind of thinking.
