![]() ![]() Sonarr/Radarr does exactly the same for an imported item using the same metadata providers but also has the option to rename the source (unlike emby). It would be nice if there is a tool that does this.īy 'wrong names' I'm making the assumption that it has been looked up by the metadata providers and an option given by emby (ie identify). I already fixed it in the Emby library but not the original files and folders. Is there an automated way to get the name and date of the metadata downloaded by emby and rename the movie file and folder? I own some movies with wrong names, localized titles, etc. I do something similar to this to find and remove duplicates. So once each bogus movie is renamed to the identified movie in the Emby Database it would then be easy to use anything like Filebot to rename/move these to a better folder layout such as:ĭ:\Movies\Top Gun (1986)\Top Gun (1986).mkv Now to keep this simple once "chapter1.mkv" is renamed to "Top Gun (1986).mkv" using the title/year from the database you would have He has manually identified them to be something like:īut once these files have been identified and in the Emby database this could be done using SQL to write out rename commands that could be run as a batch file or script. For example if I understand this correctly he could have: None of the solutions here are going to help him as he'll need direct database access (or api). But some great tools to check out anyway. Incredibly useful! Thinking if either the folder or the file inside of it was named correctly this has the ability to rename the other.Īnyway, probably not helpful. Pretty sure it creates custom batch files, in the background, by parameters that you want to use. But recently found a great program called Advanced Renamer ( ) that is incredibly useful and has the ability to scan sub-folders all at one time. I have been using Bulk Rename Here ( ) to do bulk renaming on files for some time. It can make short work out of TV series and Movies. Unfortunately it will not work well for backdrops or other items that might be in the folder. I would suggest the use of filebot ( ) to try and rename the files correctly on your drives. If either the folder or the file name was correct this would make things easier. ![]() might be a way, just nothing i am aware of. I cant see a way to use metadata from emby db to rename folders and files automatically. ![]()
