NEW FEATURE
was wondering how hard it is to add a new filename parsing to support the current FlixGrab+ format.
[S#.Ep#] show - episode.mkv
as in
[S1.Ep1] Kingdom - Episode 1.mkv

My testing so far shows it detects the season and episode - but botches the ‘showname’ basically. Which kinda screws it all up.

We can look into it but we’ll need more sample names for
- episodes
- documentaries
- movies
- sports
- news
Is there a standardized convention for naming files?

I only know the naming for tv episodes and movies, but I am sure I could grab other samples. It’s all from Netflix so possibly a more limited sample
Movies are easy
Movie name (year).mp4, and .en.srt or .XX.srt etc
I massage things myself from .en.srt/mp4 to mkv with embedded srt – then was just going to use mcebuddy for the renaming, but found it could nto parse it well enough for what I needed.
Maybe time for a generic ‘parsing’ template capability??
