Hello,
I would like help renaming just the folders for TV episodes.
My exiting folder & files look like this:
Code: Select all
G:\TVCurrent\Archer\Season 1\Archer (2009) - S01E01 - Mole Hunt 720p.mkv
G:\TVCurrent\Archer\Season 1\Archer (2009) - S01E02 - Training Day 720p.mkv
etc.
G:\TVCurrent\Archer\Season 2\Archer (2009) - S02E01 - Swiss Miss 720p.mkv
etc.
Filebot has done a really good job of renaming my files.
I'd like to include the first airdate in the top topfolder of a series. I'm curious if it could change the folders from above to:
Code: Select all
G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 1\Archer (2009) - S01E01 - Mole Hunt 720p.mkv
G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 1\Archer (2009) - S01E02 - Training Day 720p.mkv
etc.
G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 2\Archer (2009) - S02E01 - Swiss Miss 720p.mkv
etc.
Or even better if it could include the season airdate (at that point i'd take the date out of the filename)
Code: Select all
G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 1 (2009)\Archer- S01E01 - Mole Hunt 720p.mkv
G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 1 (2009)\Archer - S01E02 - Training Day 720p.mkv
etc.
G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 2 (2010)\Archer - S02E01 - Swiss Miss 720p.mkv
etc.

1.
Forget the notion of renaming folders. What you really want is reorganize files (move, rename, etc it's all the same) into a specific path scheme (i.e. you always deal with files, you never deal with folders, because folder don't exist without files).
2.
You decide what path scheme you want:
Code: Select all
G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 1\Archer (2009) - S01E01 - Mole Hunt 720p.mkv
3.
You express your path scheme as FileBot Format:
Code: Select all
G:/TV Shows/{ny}/Season {s}/{ny} - {s00e00} - {t} {vf}
4.
You process all your files. Notice that "renaming files" is the same as "renaming folders" and that FileBot will get it done in a single operation.
BONUS: Season Year
Simple Solution:
Code: Select all
G:/TV Shows/{ny}/Season {s} ({d.year})/{n} - {s00e00} - {t} {vf}
Complex Solution (once you realize that an episode aired in 2016 can belong to a season started in 2015):
Code: Select all
G:/TV Shows/{ny}/Season {s} ({episodelist.findAll{it.season == s}.airdate.year.min()})/{n} - {s00e00} - {t} {vf}

Can you add the release year of the latest episode at the tv show folder name?
e.g. G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009)\Season 2\Archer (2009) - S02E01 - Swiss Miss to G:\TVCurrent\Archer (2009-2020)\Season 2\Archer (2009) - S02E01 - Swiss Miss

Yes, conceptually, same as the above, except with
max() instead of
min().
e.g. latest episode airdate year:
e.g. episode airdate min-max values:
Code: Select all
{episodelist.airdate.year.bounds().join('-')}
Keep in mind that the destination folder structure now varies depending on
when you process a given file. This may not be what you want.
