Episode Renaming

When using the TV Episode Lookup flow element, you can automatically rename and move TV show files based on the metadata returned from a successful match.

The lookup provides a set of tvepisode variables that can be used in your destination paths and filenames.

Copy/Move File​

Destination Folder​

Use a destination pattern like this:

/Volumes/TV Shows/{tvepisode.Title}/Season {tvepisode.Season}

For example, a matched episode from Cheers Season 2 would be moved to:

/Volumes/TV Shows/Cheers/Season 2

Destination File​

You can also define how the filename should be structured:

{tvepisode.Title} - s{tvepisode.Season:##}e{tvepisode.Episode:##} - {tvepisode.Subtitle}{ext}

This would result in a filename such as:

Cheers - s02e05 - Sumner's Return.mkv

Using these patterns together allows FileFlows to automatically organize your TV episodes into properly named folders and filenames based on the metadata from the TV Episode Lookup node.
