FileBot

I'm currently using ... ... as my movie filebot naming. This gives me ...
However, I'd like to see if I can remove the year (2009) from the folder and filename using the plex binding? Basically, I'd like this as the my output ...
Is this possible with the advanced {plex} operators viewtopic.php?t=4116#operators or should I just build a custom format ?

You cannot. Name (Year) is the naming standard.


You can however use your own custom format if you don't want to adhere to the Plex naming standard:

Thanks for confirming, had a feeling that was the case but wanted to be sure I was not missing something. Thanks again.

BTW... just so you are aware in case you are not. The year is used as a hint in matching with plex, its not a requirement for plex naming standards. Using the matching id from either tmdb or imdb is a MUCH better way of matching with plex making the year obsolete.

Naming and organizing your Movie files says /Movies/MovieName (release year)/MovieName (release year).ext so that's the official Plex naming standard for all accounts and purposes:
Keep in mind that support for {tmdb-id} is a rather recent addition, because of name / year inconsistencies, name / year changes over time, different release years for different countries, plus there are rare corner cases where multiple movies have the same Name (Year). The {tmdb-id} marker makes things simple and reliable. If you do have the {tmdb-id} number in the file path, then Plex will probably look at neither the name nor the year. If you do not have {tmdb-id} then Name (Year) is absolutely required for mostly accurate matching.

Yeap, we are saying the same thing. Thanks as always for your help.
