Re: Put the The at the end and format special

:idea: If you use TheMovieDB - which allows duplicate series names - then the series name {n} will never contain the series year:

Format: Select all

{ n }

:idea: If you use TheTVDB - which does not allow duplicate series names - then the series name may contain a year (2005) or a region (UK) to make the series name unique. You can use replaceTrailingBrackets() to replace or remove trailing brackets:

Format: Select all

{ n.replaceTrailingBrackets() }

:?: What is your custom format? Does your custom format handle special episodes? (NOTE: special episodes do not have a regular episode number {e} and may or may not have a season number {s}; they do have a {special} number instead)


:idea: The {plex} format correctly formats the TVDB episode information like so:

Code: Select all

TV Shows/Doctor Who (2005)/Specials/Doctor Who (2005) - S00E162 - The Star Beast


:arrow: Perhaps you mean to use a custom format such as this to generate a file name such as this:

Format: Select all

{ n.replaceTrailingBrackets() } - { s00e00 } - { t }

Code: Select all

Doctor Who - S00E162 - The Star Beast
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
