Rename my training tutorial

I want to use Filebot to rename my training tutorials which have no media data into a plex format and I discovered that there is a plain file mode but I don't have adequate knowledge to tweak the format just right. So it isn't giving me the right result. Please any help will be appreciated.

Note: I just noticed you have an app in Synology NAS, I still like using the Synology Drive to make changes to the folders because using Synology Operating System is slower than I am used to.

You can use a format like this:
to rewrite file paths like this:
Code: Select all
[Class101] Fairy-Tale, Cotton Candy-like iPad Illustration Techniques by 43 (Korean, Eng sub)/Season 01-Welcome!/01 Meet Your Instructor 43!.mp4
[Class101] Fairy-Tale, Cotton Candy-like iPad Illustration Techniques by 43 (Korean, Eng sub)/Season 01-Welcome!/02 Introduction to the Course.mp4
[Class101] Fairy-Tale, Cotton Candy-like iPad Illustration Techniques by 43 (Korean, Eng sub)/Season 01-Welcome!/03 Introduction to the Materials.mp4
into file paths like this:
Code: Select all

Note that there is no beginner-friendly WebUI for
Plain File Mode. You can however use
filebot on the command-line via SSH if you must process files locally. I'd use the Desktop application and rename files via network shares though, for convenience since it's a one-off task.

Thank you for the help. An new problem occured which is changing location. I wanted the video renamed to be in the same place but the location changes.
Original Location:
https://pastebin.com/KzGLQc3m
Proposed New Location:

So it is almost accurate but it moves away from the Art folder.
Note: The reason why it's not in Cloud Storage is that it also had the same problem of the location changing, so I tried my network server, and got same problem. Case in point:

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Also is there a video tutorial on how to do specific formatting so I could fix the other videos myself?

The format above will generate a relative file path. FileBot does not know relative to where, and will thus guess. If your format generates the absolute file path you want, then FileBot will use just that. Since you did not tell us the absolute target file path you want, we could not give you a custom format that generates the absolute target file path you want.

You can use the the current file path in your format to generate the desired absolute target file path:

You can also just specify where you want things to go without variables:

The
How do I prototype a plain file format for renaming and reorganizing generic files? video tutorial does cover the process of prototyping a custom format. The specific use case in this video is of course not your use case, but the concept is the same.

It works, thank you. I am beginning to recognize that I would have to learn Groovy to make my own format for each tutorial. I just checked and it is similar to java language. So I guess this is not for me. Thank for your assistance though.

The examples above will give you all the building blocks you need, file / folder names, before pattern, after pattern, match pattern, remove pattern, etc. You do not need to learn or know about Java / Groovy to use and modify the examples. A bit of
regex pattern basics will be very helpful though.

Can i ask for a format that just adds Season and Episodes increment before the title.
For Example: vid 01, vid 04 => S01E01-vid 01, S01E02-vid 04. I know for Season Number will be based on Season Number name folder but what about the episode number, can it be incremental?

{i} will give you the incremental number.
{fn} will give you the current file name.
See
Rename photos for example.
