"File naming pattern" Any documentation? Wan't to sort YouTube videos by channel

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

I’ve recently started automating downloads of YouTube channels I’m subscribed to.
I’ve added them to a folder and hooked Plex up with it.

In the advance settings for the folder I chose the ‘YouTube’ option, but I also see this field that I can’t make sense of and can’t find any documentation for, “File naming pattern”:

I’d like to sort the YouTube video channels just like the ‘TV’ section, whereat each show gets its own folder rather than being a mess with every episode of every show on the screen.

The file names are currently being saved as follows: “CHANNEL NAME/CHANNEL NAME - VIDEO NAME (UPLOAD DATE)”
I can change this if needs be.

Can anyone make sense of this please or link me to some documentation or guide that does?

Thank you! :slight_smile:

You’ll probably need to check with the developer of that 3rd party agent

Sorry, check what with them exactly? Im asking if there is any documentation on “File naming pattern” and if it’s possible to categorize YouTube channels, which both seem relevant to Plex?

Plex doesn’t have support for Youtube videos.
The “Youtube” metadata agent is not included in Plex Server. It is a 3rd-party extension and cannot be supported by Plex.
If you need help with this agent, you need to ask the developer of this agent.
