Movie folder and movie name with meta bits how to?
Posted: 04 Sep 2019, 11:09
Hi,
I have tried my best to fully understand Filebot before seeking help but after reading suggestions everywhere and experimenting with the folder and file renaming formats I still can’t get it to do what I want it to do…
I want it to:
Change all my enclosing movie folders to be:
The Movie Name (YEAR)
And change the video file(s) within its own renamed movie folder to be:
{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}) {imdbid} {vf} {afc} {hd} {source} {resolution} {genres}.keepsameext
I want to add the meta info as my next step after this renaming process will be to get Radarr to upgrade the file quality for display through Plex. That is why I don’t want to just use the {plex} code in renaming.
Currently…
My master Movies folder contains approx 400 folders for all the sep movies. These folder names are either:
The Movie Name
The Movie Name (YEAR)
The.Movie.Name.19XX.RARG.DIvX.Blah.Blah-etc-etc - ie lots of stuff with the name and year in there somewhere…
Inside some of the folders is just a single video file but in others there are lots of poster jpegs, XML files, txt files etc. I assume Plex put them there and I need to keep them.
So, how in a single pass, or a few steps, do I rename the folders and the movie file within them?
It either gives me an error saying can’t create a subdirectory of [xxxx] inside subdirectory [xxxx]….
Or I get…
[RENAMED FOLDER] The Movie Name (20XX)
[A NEW FOLDER] The Movie Name (20XX) and the meta stuff extracted properly ie {imdbid} {vf} {afc} {hd} {source} {resolution} {genres}
[FILES] The video file name not renamed and any other files that were in there…
Please help!
Cheers,
Jon.
