Episode Format Expressions User defined episode naming scheme

About

You can easily define your own episode naming scheme. It uses Groovy expressions, which means that you can do pretty much anything, especially if you know a little bit about programming. You even get media info bindings. You can find predefined format expressions for all kinds of scenarios in the forums. Ready for you to just copy & paste.

Examples

{n} - {s00e00} - {t}Dark Angel - S03E01 - Labyrinth

V:/TV Shows/{n}/Season {s}/{sxe} - {t}V:\TV Shows\Dark Angel\Season 3\3x01 - Labyrinth

{n.space('.').lower()}.{s}{e.pad(2)}dark.angel.301

{n} ({y}) ({" CD$pi"})The Man from Earth (2007) CD1

{n} [{y}] {vf} {af}The Man from Earth [2007] 720p 6ch

Advanced Examples

{n.upperInitial().space('.')}.{y}.{source}.{vc}-{group}The.Man.From.Earth.2007.DVDRip.XviD-ALLiANCE

{n.space('_')}_-_{e.pad(2)}_[{resolution}_{vc}_{ac}][{crc32}]Juuni_Kokuki_-_01_[1280x720_XviD_MP3][3E16AF40]

{n.space('.')}.{'s'+s.pad(2)}e{e.pad(2)}.{t.space('.')}.{vf}.{vc.lower()}.{ac.lower()}Firefly.s01e01.Serenity.720p.x264.ac3

{n} [{airdate.format('yyyy.MM.dd')}] {t}The Daily Show [2010.01.05] George Lucas

E:/Complete/{n} ({y}){'/Season '+s}/{s+'x'}{e.pad(2)} - {t}Rename and move files. The directory structure is completely up to you.

{n.replaceTrailingBrackets()} - {s+'x'}{e.pad(2)} - {t.replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, "'")
.lowerTrail().replacePart(', Part $1')}My personal favorite. Pretty much 1x01, normalizing accents, and lots of other cleanup operations.
