Rename YouTube-downloaded files

[rednoah]

What are the file names you have and what are the file names you want to rename these files to?

If you mean to rename generic files that cannot be matched to movies / episodes on TheMovieDB / TheTVDB then you can use [Plain File Mode] Batch Rename any type of file.

Here is an example of 2 file names.

Minecraft A New Beginning - 1.16 Survival Let's play Ep 1
Minecraft Auto Cooked Chicken Farm - 1.16 Survival Let's play Ep 19

Each file is named in a similar fashion with one space before and after the dash and three spaces between the series and the episode number.
Title - Series Ep #
There is no metadata.
Is it possible to use FileBot in Plain File Mode to batch rename each one with the same information but in a different order?
YouTube/Account/Series/Ep # - Title

Code: Select all

Minecraft A New Beginning - 1.16 Survival Let's play   Ep 1
Minecraft Auto Cooked Chicken Farm - 1.16 Survival Let's play   Ep 19

Looks like you can adapt the Organize files based on information present in the file path example to fit your needs.


e.g.

Format: Select all

{
	def n = fn.before(/ - /)
	def e = fn.match(/EP (\d+)/)
	def t = fn.after(/\d+\.\d+/).removeAll(/EP (\d+)/)

	"YouTube/$n/$n - E${e.pad 2} - $t"
}

Code: Select all

YouTube/Minecraft A New Beginning/Minecraft A New Beginning - E01 - Survival Let's play

Does 1.16 mean anything?

Can the Account be inferred from the file name / file path?
