Comment on Is there a fast way to tell what episode of a series a video file is?

Are they all spitting out the same type of naming convention. Like is t0_05 season 1 episode 6 or is it all just random.

It’s random, some of them count up, some of them go like a0_01 b01_01 etc, and some say the disc number. There’s no consistency lol

No such luck then.
Maybe you can integrate MakeMKV with Sonar/Radar if you have a lot of them. Manually set the output to something like Friends s01e01 and output to a location sonar/radar are looking, to have them pick up and dump the output your looking for?

I’ve often found a weird pattern with the file names where they’ll be sequential except the first episode from the disk will be the last sequential file name.
So I’ll manually check, then rename the last file so its sequentially first.
Then I’ll used Advanced File Renamer and a CSV of the episode titles to make it rename all the files properly like: S01E01 <episode title>
Advanced Renamer can add the S01E01 and increment the episode number as it does the rename.
