FileBot

Hello

I Hope you are Well.

I have been Ripping my Blu-ray Movie Collection, all Owned by Me, just for clarification and all has been well.

I am starting to Rip TV Shows from Blu-ray, again, all Owned by me which has been somewhat of a Learning Curve.

I am Ripping using MakeMKV and the end goal is Plex.

The first TV Show I have Ripped is 'A Discovery of Witches' Boxset of all 3 Seasons.

There are Seven Disks, each with 3 or 4 Single Episodes or a Single File containing all of the 3, or 4, Episodes.

The thing that is confusing me is that the Ripped Files have Filenames that bear no resemblance to the specific Episodes.

I literally Played each File in VLC and then referenced the Wiki for the Series to tell me which Episode it is.

I then Renamed the Files to the correct syntax for Plex, i.e. 'A Discovery of Witches - s01e01'.

This has worked well but it is going to take forever.

Is there a way to utilise FileBot to take the strain?

Thanks in advance

Kevin

Q: How can I rename video files ripped from a DVD or BluRay disk? will get you started:

However, even badly numbered files are typically in order at the very least, so you can rename files in linear order to make quick work of the task at hand. You can always manually match files to episodes one by one as a last resort.

If you have a multi-episode file, then you can use Edit Match and select multiple episodes that match the single file at hand:
