Plex Filebot Custom Yet basic help

Post by Evillepriest »

Wanna create my folders in plex Movies Then the names Action, Comedy, Thriller/Mystery, Disney, Anima, Horror, All separate of course.

Issue is genre when i rename it adds the wrong genre that I prefer it be in, Like the movie Arrival (2016) It wants to put that in drama I want it in Thriller. i'm trying to create custom presets for each folder. Action horror etc. But everytime it comes out wrong I like the basic and I keep screwing that up. Any thoughts or a basic preset that I can just swap Action then create the next one drama etc.
I want it to be

Code: Select all

M:/Movies/Thriller/Arrival (2016)
But I end up with

Code: Select all

M:/Movies/Drama/(thriller)/Arrival (2016)
How do I write that to be for the genre I choose?
Its automatically tossing in the Drama I know this is my doing but I cannot figure it out.

e.g. you can manually specify your genre folder by hard coding it into your custom format:

Code: Select all

M:/Movies/Thriller/{ ~plex }

Code: Select all

M:/Movies/Drama/{ ~plex }
:arrow: {plex} format
