FileBot

Hi,

First of all great program.

I have a mix of different container types such as avi, mkv, BluRay (BDMV folder), DVD (VIDEO_TS folder)

Trying to rename to folder structure as follows ( I have omitted the year and source parts):

\NEW\FILM1\FILM1.mkv
\NEW\FILM2\BDMV\
\NEW\FILM3\VIDEO_TS\

The closest expression I can get adds an extra folder for BDMV and VIDEO_TS types:

w:\video\New\{n}.({y}).{"($source)"}\{n}.({y}).{"($source)"}

\NEW\FILM1\FILM1.mkv
\NEW\FILM2\FILM2\BDMV\
\NEW\FILM3\FILM3\VIDEO_TS\

Struggling to find a way to get rid of the extra folder which causes issues for the poster art display on the media player I use. I think Filebot understands these folder structures but have been unable to find any bindings storing this information to use in the expression

Also is there a way to detect the source from the folder structures? (e.g. BDMV = BluRay, VIDEO_TS = DVD)

Best Regards

In case of BluRay / DVD folders it'll treat the whole folder as if it was a file. So if normally you have a folder / file structure you will have a folder / folder structure. The latter folder being the original folder, whatever it may contain.

Here's what I mean:

Thanks for the quick response.

Almost got this to work but it looks like if filebot finds a .nfo file in the folder it automatically treats this as a folder even if folder only contains an mkv file and nfo file

What logic does filebot use to determine if a folder is a "file" or a "folder"?

Do I need to delete all my nfo files and then use script to create them again later?

Here's the disk folder pattern: If you rename it to anything other than movie.nfo it'll then work with the video files, rather than the folder as a whole. Only the videos files, FileBot doesn't care about existing artwork, or any other metadata files left behind by other software. Because it's best to recreate that from a clean structure.

I recommend using the Filename: Find & Replace script to rename all the movie.nfo files
