HELP…

I have about 4000 movies and half of them are named correctly. MOVIE NAME (YEAR) I have a folder and filename with this information. But the other half is just Movie Name. So I have been trying to do this manually but it takes forever. Does anything know of a Smart program that can do this for me? I dont mind paying.

Let me know

Filebot:  
The last file naming program you’ll EVER need.

Plex should absorb FileBot into their system - to the tune of whatever amount of money Red Noah wants (lol) - and eliminate poor file naming once and for all.

They won’t do that, of course, so go get a copy of Filebot and enjoy the rest of your Plexlife. You’ll be glad you did.

Yep Filebot will do the trick and make sure you search out for the free version.  
Filebot truly discriminates depending on your OS.
