When choosing your naming structure you can mix the below variables, letters and symbols. To use a variable they need to be wrapped in {{}}, e.g. {{Season_Name}}, the variables are not case sensitive but anything outside is case sensitive. Variables are pretty self explanatory but referenced below.
- {{Season_Name}} - The season name as from TMDB
- {{Series_Name}} - Same as above
- {{Season_Year}} - The year the season aired from TMDB (e.g. 1954 or 2022)
- {{Series_Year}} - Same as above
- {{Season_Number}} - The season number of the episode
- {{Series_Number}} - Same as above
- {{Season_Number_Padded}} - Same as above but Season '1' would be '01' and Season '10' would be '10'
- {{Series_Number_Padded}} - Same as above
- {{Episode_Number}} - The episode number of the episode
- {{Episode_Number_Padded}} - Same as above but Episode '1' would be '01' and Episode '10' would be '10'
- {{Episode_Name}} - The episode name from TMDB
NOTE: Any incompatible symbols will be filleted out when renaming the file.
If you add a '#' to the season folder name, everything after the '#' will be discounted when searching the data sources. This is useful if there are 2 programs with the same name. e.g. Spitting image and Spitting image 2020, Both are listed as 'Spitting image'. So 'Spitting image 2020' can become 'Spitting image #2020'
