Rename video/subtitle files and add language to subtitle at same time

Is it possible to rename video and subtitle files together but also add the language code to the subtitle files at the same time?
eg:
Code: Select all
The Love Boat (1976) - S01E23 - Musical Cabins.eng.srt
The Love Boat (1976) - S01E23 - Musical Cabins.mp4
This is the naming format I currently use:
Code: Select all
{n} ({y}) - {s00e00} - {t.removeAll(/[!?.]+$/).colon(', ').replace('(1)', '(Part 1)').replace('(2)', '(Part 2)').replace('(3)', '(Part 3)'}
Then I've just been manually adding .eng to the subtitle files but it would be great if I could do it all at once.

Yes. The
{plex} format does this by default. Please read
FAQ #1 and learn how
format expressions work if you are just getting started.
Please read the
How do I organize files for Plex? guide if you are organizing files for Plex and friends:
If you are set on
Name (Year) naming
(NOTE: good if you happen to just prefer that; not a great choice if you add the year for identification purposes; ID markers are better) then the
{emby} format happens to do this by default:
If you are set on writing the format yourself, then you can just add
{subt} at the end of your custom format:
subt ... subtitle language tag
(only defined for subtitle files; always undefined for video files)
