If you remove all the SxE patterns from the files FileBot will probably find the correct match based on episode title.

You can use any regex-based renamer for that first step.

Thank you, rednoah,

Those names listed above are the names of the folders, the files look like this:

dollhead-muppet-s02e01rp.avi
dollhead-muppet-s02e01rp.nfo

Do you think, it is possible though?

And the German air date is different from the American air date.

[rednoah]

Find some tools that renames the files to the names of their parent folders, or adds the folder name to the start of the filename, and then strip the SxE patterns.

[Biff]

Oops, sounds very complicated and intricately.

I striped away the SE patterns, but that does not help.

OK, many thanks again.
