New computer and FileBot is naming stuff different, "...E20201007"

I have no idea how to set this stuff up so under Edit format I just copied how it used to be:



But it's not dividing the files into seasons and the episode titles is coming out like this:



Any help please?

Your format generates file paths that start with Z:\C:\ which makes no sense as a Windows file path:

Code: Select all

Z:\C:\

Here's how formats work in general:



You therefore want to use a format like this, assuming that you want to organize your files into Z:/Media:

Format: Select all

Z:/Media/{plex.id}

** Please read FAQ #1 and learn how format expressions work.

Looks like you have configured FileBot to use Episode Order: Date and Title. If you use Episode Order: Date and Title then {plex} and {s00e00} and so on will give the SxE numbers for your selected Episode Order.


You'll want to switch back to the Episode Order: Airdate default. That'll give you the the standard SxE numbers.

Turns out clicking the Preferences option (which I never once did) solves everything, TYVM!!!!!!!

Though surprisingly my file paths actually work:



I don't know why, I'm a dude who's "notgoodatthis" stuff. My tech guy setup my Synology NAS and it does that to rename files. Then I move them to Z:\Media\Movies and Shows\Shows. I think I like it this way but used to want to skip the C: cause it's a lot of clicks but I can't get it to do that and change both folders and files.

If you want to move / organize files into Z:\Media\Movies and Shows then you must use the following custom format, because what you see is what you get:

Format: Select all

Z:\Media\Movies and Shows\{plex.id}
