Title: Is it possible to automatic set episode number from n to n+m?
Post by: mattkhan on April 22, 2017, 05:20:36 am

ripping tv series generally seems to involve having some folder containing m files of 1 episode each which need manually tagging, you can set series/season in one go but then I have to set episode one by one. I imagine I'm missing a tiny trick here and suppose there must be a way to set the 1st one as episode n and then have jriver fill down the sequence so the last one in the folder is n+m (where m is the count of files). Is it possible? If so, how?

The Counter() expression function can fill fields with sequential numbers, if thats what you need.

"=Counter(n)" will fill all selected files with sequentially increasing numbers, starting with "n"

There's a somewhat easier way also:

Highlight your episodes > right click > Library tools > fill track numbers from list order

This will give you a dialog with a starting number and an increment.  Then, once the track numbers are set, just copy the [Track #] field to the [Episode] field.

I've been doing this a lot lately while ripping BattleStar Galactica (2003) on BluRay.
