People can't seem to ever follow a standard for naming tv shows and FileBot is the only one that ever worked right when I can actually use it.

Even after doing a reinstall of windows I still get this crap.

So what else is out there.

For mass file renaming I use XYplorer. I am not sure if that helps any ... not sure what Filebot is. But if you need to mass rename files with wildcards and stuff like that, then XYplorer.

Filebot is a very awesome application for managing file rename but don't bother with that dodgy application version in the screenshot, better off running it off command line in cron, scheduled tasks or triggered from application.

In terms of command or script i run this across completed files:
filebot -rename -r $FILEPATH -non-strict --db TheMovieDB --format "/location/Movies/{genres[0]}/{n}' ''('{y}')'/{n}' ''('{y}')'" --log-file /location/downloads/fbrename.log && filebot -script fn:cleaner /location/Movies/ --log-file /location/downloads/fbrename.log

You can run it over your existing files as well so everything conforms to location\genre\title [year]\filename [year]. TV i just use sonarr's inbuilt rename which you can pretty much enable and forget.
