FileBot

Hello all

I have a couple of TV series that I want to give a different folder name than in iMDB/TMDB.

For example, instead of:
Star Trek Discovery/Season/Episode.mkv
Star Trek - Discovery [DSC]/Season/Episode.mkv

Is it possible to have that always output automatically and move the files, with for example:
filebot --format "/{n}/{s}/{e}"

I am using filebot v4.9.6 on Ubuntu via CLI.

Yes, FileBot can move files into a new file and folder structure, according to your custom format:

Please read FAQ #1 and learn how format expressions work.


I'd use the {plex} format and then just keep it like that. Inserting a - dash somewhere in the series name will make things significantly more complicated so I'd just not do that, especially if you're not yet familiar with complex custom formats.

Thanks for the answer ... but this is not my problem.
I know how to rename files and move them to folders via filebot.

Sorry if I have expressed myself in a misleading way:

The example from above even more detailed:
I have the TV series "Star Trek Discovery", if I move it via the name "Star Trek Discovery" is taken via {n} attribute. But I don't want that! I want to have "Star Trek - Discovery [DSC]"! (as described above).
Now I can of course set this manually via But if there is another episode of a series in between, it also ends up in the same (wrong) folder. So no solution either.

Is there a way that I can specify TV series "Star Trek Discovery" should always be renamed to "Star Trek - Discovery [DSC]"?
Some kind of table, database ... if, then ...
There are of course many more series that should similarly have a different name with me than it is loaded by filebot from iMDB/TMDB.

Yes, you can do custom replacements:
You can maintain a lookup table with mappings via an external text file. Please read [SNIPPET] Override / Hardcode Series Names
for details.

Very nice. Thank you very much, this is exactly how it can be done!
