Ok I have these
Code: Select all
Back.To.Black.2024.1080p.WEBRip.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS.MX].mp4
Back.To.Black.2024.1080p.WEBRip.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS.MX]eng.srt
Back.To.Black.2024.1080p.WEBRip.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS.MX]forced.eng.srt
Back.To.Black.2024.1080p.WEBRip.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS.MX]spa.srt
I want them to be in a folder like this
Movie -
Code: Select all
Back to Black (2024) [Language (only when foreign), Genre, Resolution]
or
Code: Select all
Back to Black (2024) [English, Drama, 1080p]
Subtitles
inside main movie folder with the name with language attached
Code: Select all
Back to Black (2024) [English, Drama, 1080p].eng.srt
Back to Black (2024) [English, Drama, 1080p].forced.eng.srt
Back to Black (2024) [English, Drama, 1080p].spa.srt
right now I'm getting the movie in its own folder and each subtitle in its own folder Ive been playing with this for more than an hour and my head hurts. Please help. I'm using the windows .exe program with files that are on an unraid server. Not sure if you needed this info.
This is my current syntax - I'm aware it has them setup to be in a "subtitles" folder I would prefer they just be in the main folder with the movie but I could only find info on a previous users post on how to add them into the subtitles folder.
Thanks in advance!

I actually need to update this as I see I made a mistake. I want the main movie folder to be
Code: Select all
Back to Black (2024) [English, Drama, 1080p]
the files movies/subtitles inside to be
Code: Select all
Back to Black (2024).eng.srt
Back to Black (2024).forced.eng.srt
Back to Black (2024).spa.srt

What does
Language (only when foreign) mean? By default I'd say
English, but all your examples do include
English, so I guess there's just no difference between English / non-English movies then?
Here's something to get you started:
That'll give you file paths like this:
Code: Select all
X:/Movies/Back to Black (2024) [English, History, 2160p]/Back to Black (2024)
X:/Movies/Back to Black (2024) [English, History, 2160p]/Back to Black (2024).eng
It's just a simple replacement pattern, so shouldn't pose much of a headache:
- X:/Movies/ => X:/Movies/
- { ny } => Back to Black (2024)
- { allOf{ language.name }{ genre }{ vf } } => [English, History, 2160p]
- { subt } => .eng
forced detection may not work because
[...]forced.eng is not a known pattern. FileBot expects something like
.eng.forced in that order.
{subt} will give you
.eng-forced if the files are well-named.

thank you so much! I know I was just trying to show a description of what I was talking about. It says english is fine by me. Just the way I had it before would only add the language if it were anything besides english. I only have one more issue. What do I do when there are multiple for one language? Like forced eng and standard eng? like one I have is traditional chinese and simplified chinese? there is also European spanish and standard spanish? How can I make it move both with their full language? Because obviously if there is more than one of each language it will just choose the top one and mark any others as duplicates and not rename/move them. Thank you again for your help!

In general,
{subt} will give you different values for different subtitle files, thus generating unique file paths:
Code: Select all
.eng
.eng-forced
.spa
.mxn
.zho
.zht
Specifically, the result depends on the input files, and things may work more or less well depending on the input file naming at hand:
