FileBot

Hello everyone. I am using emby for my media and wondered if the { emby } format expression will set up the subfolders that emby can use such as deleted scenes

If not what are some options for adding these

Thanks
Steve

Companion Files are not processes as either episode or movie so your custom format - in general - has no effect. If you have extras, then there are a variety of conceivable approaches, depending on how your files are currently named. See Companion Files for details and examples.




EDIT:

Please ask questions if you continue to have trouble. We could help you prototype a new solution / approach if necessary that could then help others in the future.

Hey! From my experience, the {emby} format in FileBot mainly helps with basic organization but doesn’t automatically set up special folders like deleted scenes.
For that, I usually create the folders manually following Emby's naming conventions.
It’s a bit more work, but it keeps everything super clean for Emby to recognize.
Some people also use custom scripts if they want to automate it more.
Would be cool if FileBot added direct support for extras in the future!
Good luck with your setup !

What are the file paths of the extras you have?

What are the file paths you would like to have for your extras after processing?

Do you want to rename / reorganize your extras? Then you can tick the Import companion files feature. FileBot will then copy along any extras.

If you need custom processing for Companion Files, then that could be added via Custom Post-Processing Scripts.

Many movies come with either an Extras or Featurettes folder and i'd like Filebot to ideally hardlink the folder (copy if not available).

Currently it is setup to just ignore the folder

The Import companion files feature will do just that. You'll have to manually enable the feature though, by going to the setting and checking the checkbox.
