Rename WITHOUT Colons on Windows 10

I'm using one of the defaults which has been great so far:

{n} - {S00E00} - {t}

However Gotham has a colon in the filename when it is picked up with thetvdb.com which isn't allowed in Windows 10 so I can't get it to actually rename.

Is there a way to substiture that colon for just a - (dash) or have it exclude the colon with an override?

You can use the built-in {plex} binding and then just use the filename part, and that'll take care of all these corner cases:

Code: Select all

{plex.name}
In general, I'd recommend fully organizing files using a the full Plex path:

Code: Select all

X:/Media/{plex}
