Rename TV Episodes

Apologies if this is super simple, but trying to add an additional condition for renaming TV episodes in the format;

show.1x10.mkv
to
show.S01E10.mkv

Replace : .(\d+)x seems ok
Replace with .S<something>E <something> lacks ability to put 2 digit season & episode numbers

I want to make sure it can rename shows with seasons going into double-digits, and of course episodes with single or double digits.

Appreciate any help someone can give.

Hi Chad,

One replace method should do it for you:

Replace: \.(\d+)x(\d+)
With: _$1S$2
Case sens: Checked
Reg Expr: Checked
Apply to: Name

I changed the period to an underscore, because periods can be problematic in further renames. But if you don't like that just leave out the "\." in replace and the "_" in the replace with. As you can see, you were on the right track with your first change.

Best,
DF

Thanks DF, appreciate the help.

Kept the replace as you'd said, and for the second, used;
.S0$1E$2

To get the name.S0xExx.mkv format.

Appreciate the advice about not using periods between words/elements, but have use them for my whole library so far, so I'll likely continue (may live to regret it, lol)

Thanks again for the assist. I need to get more familiar with regular expressions, that's for sure.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend

Chad,
Sorry, I screwed up the S and E. My dog-brain at work! :) And of course periods work fine in most circumstances.

Thanks, happy Easter weekend up there too!

Best,
DF

Here's a script method that zero pads as desired regardless of the season or episode number:

let nameParts = item.newBasename.split (".");
if (nameParts.length < 2) return "Missing expected period in the filename";
let episodeDetes = nameParts[1].split (/x/i);
if (episodeDetes.length < 2) return "Invalid Episode id format";

//-- Build desired new filename:
let newFilename = nameParts[0] + `.S${episodeDetes[0].padStart (2, "0")}E${episodeDetes[1].padStart (2, "0")}`;

return newFilename; // set the new name
