Trying to rename folders with symb link function and having errors

[1971camaroguy]

Hi All,

I am trying to rename some existing TV folders with the network name appended so I can sort them by network and having issues. Right now I can do one at a time and it seems to work, but that's tedious.

If I grab a bunch of the folders, something happens in the renaming that it jumbles the folder names and it picks one title and tries to apply that name to one or more folders.

Even after selecting the correct TV shows that filebot is requesting...it still jumbles the folders and grabs the wrong show. I have done this with all TV fetchers....same issue

Any ideas or tips? I really want to be able to select a bunch of folders at once and have the renaming process go smoothly...would make my life easier lol

FileBot fundamentally can only rename / re-organize files that are conceptually Episode or Movie type objects. FileBot notably cannot process or identify "Series" type objects (FileBot will internally match your folder to some Episode; somewhat randomly if the input file / folder isn't an Episode type object; your custom format is hiding this aspect) though it can re-organize all the Episode files inside into a new folder structure:
viewtopic.php?t=12263

You'll want to drop all the Episode files (and not the series folder) and then sort your files into the desired folder structure, and let FileBot create / delete folders as necessary:

Code: Select all

/path/to/{ny} [{genre}] [{info.network}]/Season {s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}

Please read FAQ #2 on how to match specific files or folders to specific Episode objects:

{info.network} does not work if the information has not yet been entered into your preferred database. You can help fix the problem by being the one that enters the missing information for the benefit of all.
