Plex Binding without Episode Title?

Post by brijazz »

Is there a way to use the Plex binding but omit the episode title?

If not, what's the best combination of bindings to emulate the Plex binding without title?

Short Answer: No.
Long Answer: You can always take the value that {plex} gives you and then match patterns from there. A bit clunky though.

I think I'll just build my own command. No issues using bindings to rename the episode the way I want, but how can I get it to move the file into a Season # folder (with the Series Title folder above that)?

:idea: If your format generates a file path, then that's where files go, parent folders and all, as seen in the linked examples:

Format: Select all

TV Shows/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Specials' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t.replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, /'/).replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replacePart(', Part $1')}{'.'+lang}
