How do I channge the default name of "TV Shows" folder

First time posting but, been using Filebot for years. In order to make it script friendly and for other apps, I changed the name of my Plex library folder for series from "TV Shows" to "TV-Shows" but every time Filebot runs it creates a new folder for "TV Shows" and places files there. I've looked everywhere for a clear answer and am still struggling with this. I would think it would be a change in a config file or script somewhere but cant find where. Below is an example of what I'd like to do.


This is the path I want it to be sorted into {output}/TV-Shows/Name {tmdb-id}/Season N/Name - S00E00 - Title.ext

I know I can make the output anything I'd like, but it will always create the default "TV Shows" folder within whatever folder it is pointed to.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

:idea: Presumably, you are currently using the {plex.id} format as naming scheme:

Format: Select all

{ plex.id }
This will generate target file paths such as this:

Code: Select all

TV Shows/Alias {tmdb-2046}/Season 01/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told


:arrow: If you want a different target file path, then you can use a different naming scheme. You can modify {plex.id} to not generate the TV Shows category folder level like so:

Format: Select all

TV-Shows/{ ~plex.id }

Code: Select all

TV-Shows/Alias {tmdb-2046}/Season 01/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told


:arrow: If you're using the amc script then {plex.id} is used as default format. You can specify a different naming scheme via the --def seriesFormat parameter:

Shell: Select all

--def seriesFormat="TV-Shows/{ ~plex.id }"
