How to rename srt files

Post by aberthil »

I want to rename not only my movie but also the associated srt files which are in that folder.
For example, I have a 2 Guns folder with:

Code: Select all

2 Guns.en.srt
2 Guns.fr.srt
2 Guns.es.srt
2 Guns.mp4
I'd like to be able to match the 2 Guns movie to 2 Guns (2013) and then have all these files renamed to 2 Guns (2013).xx.srt and 2 Guns (2013).mp4
Can you please let me know how to do this please?

:idea: The thing you're asking for is pretty much default behaviour. Here's what I see:

umh this is not I am getting by default, maybe because of the plex.id not being configured, let me check if this is why...

Umh, this was not this, how do I configure {plex.id} and I do not want to rename the parent folder here...

You can use a different custom format. The target file name / file path is entirely up to your custom format.


:?: Perhaps the first build-in example is more close to what you're trying to do?
