I’ve spent a few days now ripping dvds I own of some tv series, but the names of the individual files are all stupid (they’re almost all something like t0_01) so it’s completely unsorted in jellyfin. Is there an easy or automated way to fix this without clicking each one and manually renaming it?
Maybe not quite the right comm, but I’m feeling pretty stupid right now so I think it fits?
If you are using MakeMKV when ripping you can override the filename template. So I name them for example “Show s01e04+” based on the disc I’m ripping. Then once encoded it’s relatively quick to rename the files with the full episode number. I personally use dired in Emacs because a macro makes short work of the renaming but I’m sure other solutions are possible.
That’s a good idea, I didn’t know you could override the default filenames. I’ll look into that when I try again, thanks!
