Way to add LANGUAGE only when it isn't English?

Hello,

Is there a way to add a LANGUAGE part in my renaming scheme but only when the language of the movie isn't English? Thx in advance!

{audioLanguages} audio stream language media information or {languages} spoken languages movie / series information?

e.g. yield nothing for files that have one or more English audio streams, among possibly others audio streams for other languages:

Code: Select all

{ audioLanguages =~ /eng/ ? null : audioLanguages }

e.g. yield nothing for files that have exactly one English audio stream:

Code: Select all

{ audioLanguages.size() == 1 && audioLanguages =~ /eng/ ? null : audioLanguages }

Thank u kindly! Will check this out!

I'm trying to add information to movies that are spoken in a different language (Japanese, French, etc. ) because they are automatically renamed to their English name by Filebot.

e.g.

Movie called 'L'adversaire' is now renamed 'The Adversary (2002) [Mystery, Nicole Garcia, 1080p]' in my current Filebot setup. I would like the program to rename it to 'The Adversary (2002) [FRENCH, Mystery, Nicole Garcia, 1080p]' for example but only when the movie isn't English.

Code: Select all

{plex.name} {allOf{ languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() }{genre}{director}{vf}.joining(', ', ' [', ']')}

sample:

The Adversary (2002) [FRENCH, Mystery, Nicole Garcia, 1080p]

Thx for the effort! I'm using this one atm:

Code: Select all

{ny.colon(/ - /)} [{genre}, {director}, {vf}]/{plex.name} [{genre}, {director}, {vf}]{subt}

I can't use {plex.name} because it fucks up the way I want my subtitles to be named.
Is there a way to combine my code with yours?

This one seems to do the trick although it gives some strange results!

{ny.colon(/ - /)} {allOf{ languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() }{genre}{director}{vf}.joining(', ', ' [', ']')}{subt}

Where does it get its information from concerning the language?

Thx for the brilliant code BTW!

For example, 'Black' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4008758/), a movie that's mostly french/dutch spoken is considered 'ARABIC' by the renaming scheme!

What's the difference between these 2 codes? Should I use one for the main movie and the rest for the subs? I also noticed that your formula does not alter the FOLDER-name, which should also mention the movie's language. Is there a possiblity to achieve this? Do I just use the code 2 times?

Mmm, naming is completely screwed now. My former formula took both movie and subs (with specific language indicator such as '.eng') and put them in one folder, ignoring all the filler. With the formulas u suggested I'm getting 2 seperate folders atm.

e.g.

Hellboy (2004) [Fantasy, Guillermo del Toro, 1080p] & Hellboy (2004) [Fantasy, Guillermo del Toro, 1080p].eng

The latter containing the subtitles.
I think my definitive naming scheme would be something like this:

Hellboy (2004) [Fantasy, Guillermo del Toro, 1080p]\Hellboy (2004)

with subtitles in the same folder named Hellboy (2004).eng.srt

Is that a plausible route?

Thx in advance!

Hellboy (2004)/Hellboy (2004) [Fantasy, Guillermo del Toro, 1080p]

Thx for the code but now it still puts the subs in a seperate folder.

When I use this:

E:\[Video]\{ plex.derive{allOf{ languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() }{genre}{director}{vf}.joining(', ', ' [', ']')}.name }\{ plex[1] }

I get this for the sub folder:

E:/[Video]/Hellboy (2004) [Fantasy, Guillermo del Toro, 1080p].eng/Hellboy (2004)

Any suggestions? I'm kinda stuck here.

{plex.name} includes the subtitle suffix for subtitle files. So you can't use that component for a folder level in your format.

e.g. generate file names and rename files in place:

Code: Select all

{plex.name}

e.g. generate absolute file paths to move files into a new file and folder structure:

Code: Select all

X:/Plex/{plex}

One of the suggestions above; use second folder and final file name component from the {plex} path; can work:

Code: Select all

{ plex[1] }/{ plex.name }

but then you turned it around for some reason, but that won't make sense, because you're using the file name component which includes .eng bit as folder level, so you get folders for each subtitle language, and more folders for non-subtitle files:

Code: Select all

{ plex.name }/{ plex[1] }

Can you provide a few sample file path for what you want? I'm not actually sure what kinda file paths you want FileBot to generate at this point, since we're already pretty off-topic from the original question.

EDIT:

If you want to use the {plex} format but append to values to the movie / series folder name, then that would work like this:

Code: Select all

X:/Plex/{ plex * { allOf{ languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() }{genre}{director}{vf}.joining(', ', ' [', ']') } }

I turned it around because the turned around version is what I initially asked for.

I would like to be my organisation like this:

e.g.

Code: Select all

X:/Dark Habits (1983) [SPANISH, Comedy, Pedro Almodóvar, 1080p]/Dark Habits (1983)

with

Code: Select all

X:/Dark Habits (1983) [SPANISH, Comedy, Pedro Almodóvar, 1080p]/Dark Habits (1983).eng.srt

in the same folder.

Important features are:

Language indicator other than English first in the specification list

Sub with language indicator (.eng or others) in subtitles

Main reason I want the name of the movie itself to be shorter is to avoid problems with path lengths.

I initially used this:

{ny.colon(/ - /)} [{genre}, {director}, {vf}]/{plex.name} [{genre}, {director}, {vf}]{subt}

to rename my movies and that worked perfectly but most importantly I need the language indicator in the folder's name.

I see. I'd start with this example from the {plex} format manual:

rednoah wrote: 12 Sep 2016, 10:03 e.g. Avatar (2009) [M19995]/Avatar (2009)
Code: Select all
{ ~plex * " [M$id]" }

and then copy & paste your specification list code:

Code: Select all

X:/{ ~plex * { allOf{ languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() }{genre}{director}{vf}.joining(', ', ' [', ']') } }

Alternatively, you can just add the { languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() } bit into the format that you were previously happy with. I shall note though that your format uses {plex.name} incorrectly and so it will inject a ".eng" bit in the middle of the filename when processing subtitle files. It also doesn't account for undefined bindings, and so you might end up with [, , , 720p] in the specification bit for one file or another.

One final question: I tried using the formula for series as well but noticed (obviously) that the 'director' tag had to be removed due to different directors for different seasons. Is it possible to add the year in your given formula? I was experimenting with the {y}-code but can't seem to get it implemented in my formula. Thx in advance!

Re: Way to add LANGUAGE only when it isn't English?

Yes, you can just use y:

Code: Select all

X:/{ ~plex * { allOf{ languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() }{genre}{y}{vf}.joining(', ', ' [', ']') } }

Code: Select all

X:/Firefly [Drama, 2002, 2160p]/Season 01/Firefly - S01E01 - Serenity

Yeah, that one I figured out but I was having trouble with getting it like this:

Firefly (2002) [Drama, 2160p]/Season 01/Firefly - S01E01 - Serenity

So the renaming is similar to my movie scheme. Sorry for my OCD acting up! :'(

If you're using {plex} for movies then you will always get Name (Year) naming by default.

Are we perhaps talking about TV Show naming and not Movie naming?

I see. If you want Name (Year) for TV Series folder names / Episode file names then you can use emby instead of plex which happens to do give you the naming you want:

rednoah wrote: 12 Sep 2016, 10:03 Emby Naming Standard

The {emby} binding and the {plex} binding work exactly the same, with slightly different implementation details, e.g. series name and series folder formatting.
Code: Select all
TV Shows/Alias (2001)/Season 01/Alias (2001) - S01E01 - Truth Be Told
If you want {plex.id} but with Name (Year) folders then {emby.id} will give you the file paths you desire.

If you're organizing files for Plex, then {plex.id} is recommended. But if you also want Name (Year) then {emby.id} is what you want. Presumably, it'll work just as well.

Do you want Name (Year) because of personal preferences, or because you think that it'll make Plex work better? You can optimize for one of the other, but not both.
