I recently moved to filebot. It would be very useful to me adding some information to the file name, such as codec, resolution, bitrate.
I use the following format:
E:/{plex.derive{" [$vf, $kbps, $vc, $ac]"}}
which gives, for example,
E:\Movies\Some Like It Hot (1959)\Some Like It Hot (1959) [360p, 850 kbps, DivX, MP3].avi
Plex can’t recognize this properly. I know the guidelines and it should be named
E:\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009) - cd1.avi
Here are my questions:
1_ why filebot rename uncorrectly with the “CD1”, capital and without the “-”?
2_ the Plex scraping is more robust than it claims to be (see my first example). Is it possible somehow to keep my renaming format and bypass the splitted movie issue?
You could ask over there. I do know if you don’t have the ‘-’ in your FB tags it won’t go in the file name and the same is probably true for ‘cd1’ as well. I assume. I’ve not had to fiddle with that function.
Yea.
Dump the AVI files into MKVToolNix and hope you can join 'em together - to make one:
I don’t know if that will work with your AVI files - so Dump the AVI files and get one of anything else.
A question for you: which FB “edit format” do you use? I could to spend days thinking to the best option and change my mind multiple times. Maybe you already tought aboyt that…
That’s what I thought until I added 1400+ (and counting) HEVC replacements - then had to fix 1300+ of them - and boy was I glad they were clearly marked - so I could Delete them in Bulk.
