Movies/Series/TV Shows

Post by OUARZA »

Hello,
I put Filebot on my Synology nas.
As much as the series and films I have no problem, as much for TV shows, I don't know how to configure the tool to rename the files to me.

Can you help me?
Thanks you

:idea: "series" and "TV shows" are usually the same thing. What exactly are you trying to do? What exactly are you struggling with? Feel free to include sample file paths as text so that we can see what you can see.


:?: What have you tried? What did the console output say? (the console output is the text in the black box that tells you what filebot is doing after you click the Execute button)
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.

Hello @rednoah,
Please excuse my delayed response; I didn't receive a notification of your message.

Actually, I have three folders: Movies, Series, and TV Shows.
How do I properly configure the software so that the files are correctly placed in the right folders?

That would be default behaviour.


:?: Do you get different behaviour? What does the console output say? (the console output is the text in the black box that tells you what filebot is doing after you click the Execute button)

I don't know what that means... or how it's related to the original question? Maybe setting Input Type to TV Series to force Series Mode / TV Show Mode? (NOTE: TV Show / TV Series / Series are the same thing for all accounts and purposes)


If you could answer my questions, that would give me much needed context, and perhaps allow me to guess what you're trying to do and what's not working:

I apologize if I'm not clear. I'm translating my messages.

My question is: how do I configure the tool to sort series into one folder and TV shows into another?

:?: Would you like to point out any particular issue? Wrong series? Wrong episode? Series name not French?


:?: Maybe you mean to move 13 novembre, le choix de Sonia (TV Series 2025) into folder Series but move Star Academy (TV Series 2001) into folder TV Shows? Based on what criterium would you choose folder Series or folder TV Shows? Maybe based on the series at hand having a French title? Maybe based on the series at hand being a documentary? Maybe something else?

There's no problem with the series.

For TV shows, I'd like it to go under TV show.

:!: Note that both 13 novembre, le choix de Sonia (TV Series 2025) and Star Academy (TV Series 2001) are a TV Show as per TheMovieDB. You seem to be under the impression that one is clearly different from the other, but according to the database - and by extension FileBot - "series" and "tv show" are just two terms for the exact same thing. You therefore need to start with defining how a "series" is different from a "tv show" in your specific context.


You therefore need to ask yourself first, and then tell us:

:?: What exactly makes 13 novembre, le choix de Sonia (TV Series 2025) a Séries and not a Emission?

:?: What exactly makes Star Academy (TV Series 2001) a Emission and not a Séries?



EDIT
My best guess is that you mean to differentiate Documentary-type TV shows (i.e. Séries) from other not-Documentary-type TV shows (i.e. Emissions) so a Conditional Structure (if-then-else) is in order to generate different folder paths depending on the TV show at hand:

Format: Select all

{ "Documentary" in genres ? "Séries" : "Emissions" }/{ n }/{ plex.name }

So if I understand correctly, TV series and shows should be in the same folder?

:?: What exactly makes 13 novembre, le choix de Sonia (TV Series 2025) a Séries and not a Emission? ==> Série

:?: What exactly makes Star Academy (TV Series 2001) a Emission and not a Séries? ==> Emission

No, I want to differentiate between a series and the rest.

:!: Unfortunately, your answer is useless for the task at hand because both 13 novembre, le choix de Sonia (TV Series 2025) and Star Academy (TV Series 2001) are a TV Show as per TheMovieDB. Keep in mind that both Série or Emission translate to "TV Series" in English and are thus the same for me, and for FileBot, and for TheMovieDB.


:?: How can FileBot know what you consider a Série or Emission? What is a Série and how is it different from a Emission?

I don't know, hence my questions :)

I understand. In English, "Séries" and "Emissions de TV" are both TV shows.

In French, they are two different genres.

AFAIK, there is no intrinsic difference. Your Série and your Emission are the exact same thing as far as the database - and thus FileBot default behaviour - is concerned.


:arrow: You can however make up your own rules, and then convert those rules into your custom format code, as desired by you. Based on the 4 sample TV shows above, I can maybe guess that you mean Reality Show = Emission? Well, if so, the code for that would look like this:

Format: Select all

{ "Reality" in genres ? "Emissions" : "Séries" }/{ ny }/{ plex.name }

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -rename *.mkv --output . --db TheMovieDB::TV -non-strict --format '{ "Reality" in genres ? "Emissions" : "Séries" }/{ ny }/{ plex.name }' --log INFO --action TEST
[TEST] from [13 novembre, le choix de Sonia:13 novembre, le choix de Sonia - S01E04.mkv] to [Séries/13 novembre, le choix de Sonia (2025)/13 novembre, le choix de Sonia - S01E04 - Episode 4.mkv]
[TEST] from [Squid Game - The Challenge S01E01.mkv] to [Emissions/Squid Game The Challenge (2023)/Squid Game - The Challenge - S01E01 - Red Light, Green Light.mkv]
[TEST] from [Star Academy - S13E45 - Prime n°6.mkv] to [Emissions/Star Academy (2001)/Star Academy - S13E45 - Episode 45.mkv]
[TEST] from [Squid Game S01E01.mkv] to [Séries/Squid Game (2021)/Squid Game - S01E01 - Red Light, Green Light.mkv]

Not necessarily, for example, https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/59941-the ... mmy-fallon is a TV show for me.
I think I need to identify the TV series, by the way.

I think I won't differentiate between series and shows and I'll move them to the correct folder myself once Filebot has renamed them :)

:arrow: Well, you could check for multiple genres and / or add conditions as needed as you go, e.g. Reality Show | Talk Show = Emissions:

Format: Select all

{ genres =~ /Reality|Talk/ ? "Emissions" : "Séries" }/{ ny }/{ plex.name }

I'll try that and update as I go :).
Thanks for your help.

Format: Select all

{ genres =~ /Documentaire|Reality|Talk|Game Show|Variety|News|Sport|Lifestyle|Entertainment|Music|Quiz|Panel Show/ ? "Emissions" : "Séries" }/{n}/{plex.name}
Perhaps we should also play around with the info.keywords ?
