Hello all.

I would like to ask if it is possible to batch rename TV shows organized in folders.

I have the following folder structure:

TV Show 1/Episodes 1-M.mkv
TV Show 2/...
...
TV Show N/...

I am renaming folder by folder (TV show by TV show) and it is getting a bit tedious.

Is there a way to select multiple folders (each one from an unique TV Show) and rename the episodes as with movies, in which it is possible to select multiple movies and get renamed/asked one by one?

Thanks in advance.

You'll want to set the format you want and then just process all your files from wherever they may be into the new structure defined by your format, works conceptually the same in both GUI and CLI:

Code: Select all

{ drive }/Media/{ plex.id }

See How do I organize files for Plex? for details.

e.g.

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename -r Input --db TheMovieDB::TV -non-strict --output Output --format "{plex.id}" --log INFO
[MOVE] from [Input/Alias/Alias.1x01.mp4] to [Output/TV Shows/Alias {tmdb-2046}/Season 01/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told.mp4]
[MOVE] from [Input/Firefly/Firefly.1x01.mp4] to [Output/TV Shows/Firefly {tmdb-1437}/Season 01/Firefly - S01E01 - The Train Job.mp4]
