Hi there,

I am loving MC more and more as I use it.  I have organized my music and the file management features are great.

Now I am starting to organize tv shows and video media.

Here is my question

When I update a video file using "Get Movie and TV Info" the file name changes to the episode name.

Is there a way to control how the file gets renamed?  I would like to have the file name include the season and episode before the actual name  - like "s01e02 - The Cold Open", rather than the way it now shows up "the Cold Open"

Thanks

dave

I currently do this. You can do a batch rename of the [name] tag after selecting the files you want to change. Then type the following:
=S[season]E[episode] - [name]

That will not pad out the season and episode to 2 digits, though. To do that you need custom fields, and I don't remember all the specifics of the expression required.

Looks good.

I adapted what you provided

=[Series] - S0[season]E0[episode] - [name]

but would love to know how to add padding

thanks a lot for the help

See how this works for you:

[Series] - Spadnumber([season],2)Epadnumber([episode],2) - [name]

Here's the syntax of padnumber().
