Rename by episode title not by season and episode number?

Sometimes I have video files
that title episode is right but season and episode number wrong
Its possible identify and rename by title episode?

for example:
Teen.Titans.Go.S02E11b.Road.Trip.mkv ---> Teen Titans Go! - S02E22 - Road Trip.mkv
American.Dad.S10E03.Blagsnarst.A.Love.Story.mp4 ---> American Dad! - S11E03 - Blagsnarst, A Love Story.mp4

The episode title is used for matching, but if title and SxE disagree, then SxE always takes priority. So if you have misleading SxE in the title, you can easily remove those with a generic regex renamer, and then run the files through FileBot.

e.g.
Teen.Titans.Go. - .Road.Trip.mkv ---> Teen Titans Go! - S02E22 - Road Trip.mkv

Ok thank you
I will add in Feature Requests option for episode title priority or to ignore SxE
for automatic rename without manually removing SxE numbers

This feature would be too specific for noobs to understand, and advanced users can easily do it as described above.

This post shows you how to batch rename files directly:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2072

So you can quite easily prepare files and make TheTVDB auto-matching work in a second step.

There's also a script for that if you want to automate the process.

I suggest something simple like this
without preparing files and without scripts, if I have for example 2-3 files
for quick rename
