the tail part of plex.tail doesn't work anymore

Post by donnykarabotsos »

it's been like 6 months since I used filebot, and I have a real simple script which is just

Code: Select all

\\Q\Shows/ { plex.tail } 
because I don't use "TV Shows" as a folder, I need the ".tail"

but running it now makes the new names window have no filename, the whole list is just "\\Q\Shows" and if I try to rename it, it won't work because every file would be called ".mp4"

It will work as it should if I remove the ".tail"

any ideas?

:arrow: The easy solution is to just use {~plex} instead:

Format: Select all

{ ~plex }
Plex / Kodi / Emby / Jellyfin Naming Schemes › Advanced {plex} operators
:arrow: { plex.tail } not working
