How to rename multiple episode cartoons when they don't match?

[winecountrymedia]

What to do when the episodes don't match up with TVDB or TVMaze? I want to input into sonarr but am not sure what to do in this situation as I can't do S01E01-S01E05? Is there a software that will break them into individual episodes?



Thanks for any help you can provide.

I can't do S01E01-S01E05?

You can do S01E01-S01E05 via manual matching: Manual Matching





Unfortunately, the episodes you have are not even in order, so while non-sequential multi-episode naming is possible in FileBot, other software may not be able to work that kind of naming:

Code: Select all

Peppa Pig - S01E04E09E11E18 - Polly Parrot & Daddy Loses His Glasses & Hiccups & Dressing Up

If you're renaming files for Plex, *arr, etc, then you must use your configured database / order. You notably cannot switch database / order to match your files if you name files for 3rd party software to work with. You must make your files conform to the database that you have configured for your entire setup. See [FAQ] Why can I not use TheTVDB and TheMovieDB interchangeably? for details.

In this case you are indeed best served by splitting up the multi-episode files you have into multiple 1-file-per-1-file files before naming and organising those files. You may be able to use MKVToolNixGUI to split the mkv files you have. The mkvmerge command-line tool can do the same on the command-line.
