Fallback on season/episode

I just started using MCEBuddy to rename my WTV files for Kodi. If it doesn’t find a match on season and episode, it doesn’t add SxxExx or create a season folder (which makes sense because its not found). The problem is that TV Shows within Kodi won’t pick it up unless it’s in a season folder. Is it possible to add a default season and episode if one isn’t found so that it shows up in TV Shows?

You can always use a custom renaming pattern to create your own default season and episode number.

%ifseason%<RenamePatternIfTrue,RenamePatternIfFalse> - If season if greater than 0 rename using True pattern, else rename using False pattern (v2.4.2+)
%ifepisode%<RenamePatternIfTrue,RenamePatternIfFalse> - If episode if greater than 0 rename using True pattern, else rename using False pattern (v2.4.2+)

So it could be like:

S%ifseason%<%season%##,99>E%ifepisode%<%episode%##,99>

This will use the season number if it’s not 0 and set it to 99 if it isn’t available, similarly for episode so the result will look like:

If seaons and episode are available:

S1E1

or if they aren’t available

S99E99
