I do not know if it is possible to sort/preserve any info from the file name.

I see zero reason to preserve anything like `w-lilyhammer0103.1080p`.

You do not need the original file name for this.

Read the TMM docs (click help in settings → renamer). It can pick out many things - audio/video codecs, hdr, etc.

[Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the movie after renaming/re-organizing. It clears bad info from your Plex Media Server database.

Works fine on my system.
