Dear all,

This is my first port is this forum after purchasing the license of Filebot and I need your help.

LI have a movie collection with every movie in a single folder and the sub folder inside this folder. I would like to move the content of the subtitle folder to the main folder and rename the subtitle with the name of the main folder.

I have been reading similar posts on this forum, but I don't understand how this scripting works.

Would somebody be so kind to explain me the process step by step? I'm not good with scripts and/or command line.

Thanks!

Can you provide example file paths as text for one of your movie folders?

Please read How to Request Help.

I would use the GUI, specially if it's a one-time task.

Hi,

Please see below:

Code: Select all


Currently I have:

E:\HD Movies\Movie name folder           
                      ├── Movie.mp4
                      └── subs
                            └── 2_eng.srt
 
And I would like:                                
                                   
E:\HD Movies\Movie name folder
                      ├── Movie.mp4
                      └── Movie_eng.srt

Thanks for your help!

Best regards

Hi,

Sorry a small correction:

Code: Select all

Currently I have:

E:\HD Movies\Movie name folder           
                      ├── Movie.mp4
                      └── subs
                            └── 2_eng.srt
 
And I would like:                                
                                   
E:\HD Movies\Movie name folder
                      ├── Movie.mp4
                      └── Movie.eng.srt

Thanks!

If you drop those files into the GUI, then both video file and subtitle file are matched correctly to the same movie. No?

The target structure is then just a matter of your custom format, e.g. {plex.name} will do just fine.

Hi,

Using {plex.name} the movie folder changes its name but the subtitles are still in the "Subs" folder and with 2_eng.srt as filename.

Did I miss anything? It's the first time I use this software.

Thanks!

{plex.name} is relative to the current folder. You'll need to add an absolute path before that if you want to organize files absolutely.

e.g.

Code: Select all

E:/Media/{plex}

Please read FAQ #1 and learn how format expressions work. See {plex} format for details on {plex}.

Hi,

I tried it, but it's not working as expected the subtitles are still in the "Subs" folder and the movie name has been renamed with the folder name. I would like to the movie to keep it's name, the subtitles matching the movie name and moved to the main folder and the main movie folder based on the TheMovieDB.

Please see below:

Code: Select all

Currently I have:

E:\HD Movies\Movie.1080p.BluRay.X264      
                      ├── Movie.1080p.BluRay.X264.mp4
                      └── subs
                            └── 2_eng.srt
 
And I would like:                                
                                   
E:\HD Movies\Movie name folder (TheMovieDB)
                      ├── Movie.1080p.BluRay.X264.mp4
                      └── Movie.1080p.BluRay.X264.eng.srt

Would you be so kind to let me know exactly what I need to do? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi,

I managed to make it work partially using {plex}, is there a way to keep the movie file without renaming and rename the subtitles to match the movie name? As per the description of my previous post?

Thanks!

I'd use a naming scheme that matches the target file path that I want to see:

Code: Select all

E:/HD Movies/{n}/{n}.{vf}.{vs}.{vc}{subt}
