FileBot

I haven't much luck getting Filebot to name 3D films. I keep the 3D films in a separate folder with two subfolders splitting H-SBS and H-OU. I use Filebot to get metadata and cleanup the names using the same expression I have been using for 2D films then use Bulk Rename Tool to append the H-SBS or H-OU to the file name for Plex.

I have struggled to catch on to Groovy. Is there any type of Groovy expression builder to make things easier? Something like a WYSIWYG for Groovy?

Since you're using text patterns (format expression) to generate text patterns (file path) it's pretty much what-you-see-is-what-you-get by nature. You can write complex code if necessary, but you can get away with simple replacement patterns for most use cases.


You can use the Format Editor to prototype your format on your Movie / File matches and then what you see is what you get:




You can explore available bindings via Format Editor ➔ View Bindings. In this case we'll want to use the {s3d} stereoscopic 3D binding:
