Unless there is an easier way I always had to add the Movie/Show to Sonarr/Radarr, then I had to copy the folder name and create it in the destination directory that they will put the finished and renamed stuff in, create the folder, move all of the files into the folder and then had to scan the disk so that Sonarr/Radarr will update its UI and know that there are media files available and then click organize. If you just need to rename folders and files then it is much easier to do that in FileBot than in Sonarr/Radarr because you just open FileBot load the files, match and rename them. Sonarr/Radarr provide a lot more that you might not need like the whole indexing and downloader part of them. This is from the history list of filebot as I fixed this yesterday. Amazon's order of married with children doesnt match TVDB, so all I had to do was drag the files around within the filebot gui to get it renamed properly. Here is an example of a mismatch that was easy to catch. It’s significantly faster that I rather rename through filebot, I’ll end up importing it either way, but knowing the chance of an error is much smaller is nice for shows that have various releases and orders.Īlso what is nice is if you mess up, all renaming is in the history list so you can quite often undo mass edits very fast. Filebot is still overall faster, but not as necessary.

It does the job great as well, but those aren’t a hassle to deal with. I think they’re adding it but they use to not have that for shows unless there were two different years of identically names shows. Want to add certain details like the year, or put “the” of a show at the end before the year? No problem. Anime that has episodes 1-500? Drop in filebot, click “plex season/episode” script and it preview the output, with episodes split up by season. You can just drag and drop files around to rearrange it before renaming.įile bot also lets you save formatting scripts. For example, on one webrip, episode 7 may be episode 10 on tvdb by airdate.

The video tutorial above is long, but it’s a great primer on how to use the app if you run into problems. The best part is that Filebot knows the naming conventions supported by most HTPC front-end applications and media players, so it can batch rename the files for you so everything stays nicely organised. The app will even organise new files automatically for you so your library doesn’t end up reverting to its former state.

Missing subtitles files that XBMC or Plex won’t recognise because they’re not named properly missing episode, series or movie info the list goes on. Windows/Mac/Linux: If your media library looks anything like mine, it could use a tuneup.
