Episode Numbering for Youtube Videos

Postby Rev » Wed Aug 16, 2023 5:11 pm

Hi,

I have a large collection of Youtube videos I'm looking to rename to add season and episode numbering into so plex can pick it up properly. Currently, the files are structured like:

Code: Select all
1 - SuperMega Plays SHOVEL KNIGHT (Co-Op) - EP 1: We Dig It [7cILsYmjVQk]


But I need it to look like:

Code: Select all
SuperMega Plays SHOVEL KNIGHT (Co-Op) - S01E01 - We Dig It [7cILsYmjVQk]


Or (more ideally because this is how the rest of my media is formatted):

Code: Select all
SuperMega Plays SHOVEL KNIGHT (Co-Op) - 1x01 - We Dig It [7cILsYmjVQk]


I'm doing this for playlists which are sorted into sub-folders, so each rename can keep the same season number, the episode numbers just need to change as they move down the list. I have tried using something like this:

RegEx (1)
Match: (.*)(\d{2})
Replace: \1 S01E\2

But that completely renames the file to just "S01E01", removing all the other data.

I appreciate any help I can get!

Ok I've got it *sort of* working, but am now facing a new issue. It's not renaming all the files, it seems to skip a few here and there even though the formatting of the original files are the same. Example below

Ok, it seems like there's a pattern. The ones that aren't renaming properly are instead having the data written at the end of the file, for example:

02 - Fortune Cookies [KgCOdj228lQ] 02 - Fortune Cookies [KgCOdj2S01E28lQ]
