I am new to MCEBuddy, and am struggling to get converted movies to rename to “movie name (year)” I…e: My movie (2017)
I tried using the example given under Custom File Renaming Pattern (v2.1.6+), but I keep getting an error
So when I enter Recording%ismovie%-Converted in the text box. I get an error.
Also, why is the audio profile for basic MP4 files so poor. Why not default to at least 384 kbs AAC
%ismovie% is a conditional operator and not a standalone operator. It’s correct definition and use is (from the documentation)
%ismovie%<RenamePatternIfTrue,RenamePatternIfFalse> - If recording is a movie rename using True pattern, else rename using False pattern
E.g.:
Recording\%ismovie%<Movies\%showname%,TVShows\%showname%\Season %season%\%showname% - S%season%##E%episode%##>-Converted
Will produce:
Recording\Movies\Star Wars-Converted.<ext>(for a movie)OR
Recording\TVShows\CSI\Season 1\CSI - S01E02-Converted.<ext>(for non movies)
See the documentation page for details:
As for the audio profile, most people cannot tell the difference beyond 128kbps but you can always customize it to your needs.
Hi folks,
But this doesn’t really answer the question…it gets in the correct direction…
I actually have the EXACT same problem.
How do we enter the “year” for a MOVIE in the Renaming Scheme? To import into Plex, it likes for it to be "moviename (year) format.
In the renaming guide, I see %premiereyear%, %airyear%, %recordyear%, and other TV Series-related options. What is the %parameter% for a movie’s year?
I’ve got the other arguments all figured out (%ifmovie%, etc).
Thanks!
Eric
%premiereyear%
That did it, thanks for the help
Fantastic!!
Thanks RBoy!!
Jeg har problemer med at navngive film. Ver 2.4.11
Jeg har prøvet %premieryear% og %year% og %airyear%
“%showname% - %premiereyear%” og %showname% - %year%
Testfilen var “Hollywood Homicide (2003).mkv”. Resultatet i begge tilfælde er "Hollywood Homicide - .mkv
Jeg har også markeret Media Information manager med Movies og IMDB. Jeg havde forventet, at .nfo-filen ville være mere komplet.
.nfo-filen viser efter MCE-behandling –

Premiere gælder kun for serier (det år serien først startede), for film og episoder er det Original Broadcast Date and Time.

Der findes ingen kommando som premieryear, jeg tror, du leder efter premiereyear, som alligevel ikke virker her, da dette er en film.
Det, du leder efter, er airyear
- %airyear% - År for udsendelsesdato

Jeg har det samme problem med at overholde Plex’ navngivningsregler for mapper og filnavne – filmnavn (udgivelsesår). De film, jeg forsøger at behandle med MCEBuddy, er optaget via en tv-kabelstation, HDNet, med Plex DVR.
Jeg prøvede %airyear%, men det virkede ikke. Jeg har også prøvet %premiereyear% for at se, om det ville fungere, selvom det indlæg ovenfor nævner, at det ikke virker, men det virkede heller ikke.
Har nogen fået noget til at virke? Tak.
Jeg har også dette problem. Bruger v2.7.1 i 2026. Jeg tror, der er noget logik, der kun gør disse parametre tilgængelige for en serie og ikke for filmtypen.
Dette drejer sig om en OTA-optagelse overført fra en Tivo ved hjælp af KMTTG. Premierens år stod i titlen på Tivo’en, men ikke efter erstatning af metadata og navngivning (som inkluderer %premiereyear%- og %airyear%-tags, og ingen af dem virker – for film). Den konverterede fil bliver placeret i den korrekte filmmappe, jeg har opsat til filmtypen af medie.
Konverteringslog venligst. Start med at se, hvilken metadata der er indlejret i din fil. Det afgør, om det er en film eller en serie.
Uploadet som anvist. FYI – du bør måske opdatere upload-vejledningen.
For at uploade uden en særlig klient (alle browsere har slået FTP fra) tilføjer du i Stifinder ftp://upload.mcebuddy2x.com som en ny ”Netværksplacering”. Fravælg ”Log på anonymt”. Du skal højreklikke for at få muligheden for at oprette en mappe med dit brugerprofilnavn.

Her tror jeg, at MCEBuddy ikke opdagede den manglende PremiereYear…

Metadata er ikke komplet. Og jeg er ret sikker på, at PremiereYear findes på TheMovieDB, IMDB eller de andre metadatakilder.
