My Spongebob Squarepants collection has an issue where the names of the episodes are off in certain sections. For example, "S02E37 The Christmas Who." has the Christmas Who episode on it, except it should be titled instead Episode S02 EP28 The Christmas Who." This is an issue with multiple files across the whole series. Is there an application to fix this quickly or do I have to rename them hand by hand? When I put them into Filebot it just tried to rename the files outright not rename them to fitch the order they should be in.
It's been years since I've used Filebot, but that 'episode' isn't in the Spongebob episode list in TVDB:>https://www.thetvdb.com/series/spongebob-squarepantsIt'd usually be in the 'Specials' but nope, it looks like they've categorised it as an entirely unrelated, separate movie instead:>https://www.thetvdb.com/movies/spongebob-squarepants-christmas-who...so the issue probably isn't with Filebot, it's with the metadata source itself.
It's in TMDB instead, so if you can use that as your metadata source you're good:>https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/387-spongebob-squarepants/season/2/episode/9
>>109618308The issue is it just by default wants to name that so for example in my folder on my HDD episode 9 is "Dying for pie" not "Christmas who" so it would just rename "Dying for pie" into "Christmaswho" without actually fixing the order of the files. So when I try to watch "S2E9" instead of "Christmas who." I'd end up with "Dying for pie." because the name changed not the order of the files
>>109618318That's odd behaviour. Sorry, not sure how to help in that case.The tool that I use for all the TV shows I download is the imaginatively titled Rename My TV Series:>https://www.tweaking4all.com/home-theatre/rename-my-tv-series-v2/Point it at your video files, match them up against episode titles from TVDB, hit 'rename' and it'll rename and move them all into /showtitle/season 01/s01e01 - The First Episode.mkv and so on. It's freeware, unlike Filebot, and although it's a little fiddly when it comes to multiple episodes in a single file (sperg wars over this are unending), it's never let me down. Might be some help for you as well?
>>109618368Yeah, maybe, the issue is just I have 307 episodes and doing it on one one is gonna take forever.
Honestly a good use case for claude code. Just tell the robot to rename them properly based on episode titleYou can't be a poorfag though
>>109618255off by 9 episode, is that what you mean?
Bro ask just AI to do this. It will write a python script or powershell script to rename files.
