Anime Season - Episode Naming

Post by Yapsonark »

I've truly searched and read the best I could for the last few days trying to get everything working and it almost is except for this one problem.

I used to rename all anime episodes with the season and episode before scanning with tvdb because of the way plex works and doesn't have a anidb scraper. The problem is I'm trying to completely automate everything.

The file named.. "[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 426 [720p].mkv" shows up on tvdb as S19E14 so I would rename the file to
"Naruto Shippuden S19E14.mkv"
and with Filebot scan using tvdb and the outcome would be
"Naruto Shippuden/Season 19/Naruto Shippuden - S19E14 - The Infinite Tsukuyomi"
Shows up perfectly.

Is it at all possible with some sort of code using the console and amc script to...

make this
"[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 426 [720p].mkv"
into this
"Naruto Shippuden/Season 19/Naruto Shippuden - S19E14 - The Infinite Tsukuyomi"
without the need for me to be involved?

each episode post on tvdb has not only the season + episode but the episode number as well (for eg 426)

I'm really just trying to find any solution where a new naruto episode Is automatically sent to plex media folder
with filebot and that plex can properly understand it.




Btw for some strange reason the older filebot on my main computer can understand "Naruto Shippuden S19E14.mkv" and finds it perfectly with tvdb
but the newest release installed on my Plex computer doesn't and instead shows "...E14 - Naruto's Growth" with no season.

the code is a direct copy from the older filebot to the newer one and this code works fine on the newer filebot with tv series just not anime.


Ty for taking the time to read my post!

Have you read [Anime] Convert Absolute to SxE numbers yet?


2.
What's the filename of the file that doesn't work as expected?


This one works out-of-the-box as far as I can tell:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename --action test --db thetvdb . -non-strict
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Auto-detected query: [Naruto Shippuuden]
Fetching episode data for [Naruto Shippuden]
[TEST] Rename [[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 426 [720p].mkv] to [Naruto Shippuden - 19x14 - The Infinite Tsukuyomi.mkv]

Code: Select all

$ filebot -version
FileBot 4.6.1 (r3315) / Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_66

You seem to be referring to the format:

Click Edit Format to edit the format.

:idea: Since AniDB defaults to Absolute Order data, the {s00e00} binding will always give you E00 numbers. So you can simply (1) Rename with AniDB and then (2) Rename again with TheTVDB to get the job done without having to change any settings.
Although, I'd do it the less clicky-clicky way.
