onewaytrigger 1 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) All my movies are in one single folder structure: Movies | |--- MovieName.mkv |--- MovieName-landscape.jpg |--- MovieName-poster.jpg |--- MovieName-logo.png |--- MovieName.srt | |--- MovieName1.mkv |--- MovieName1-landscape.jpg |--- MovieName1-poster.jpg |--- MovieName1-logo.png |--- MovieName1.srt At the moment I'm using Kodi with Emby addon, but whenever my internet is off I can't play any Emby content so I want to organize my movies to a Kodi friendly structure (for artwork reasons) like: Movies | |--- MovieName\ |--- MovieName.mkv |--- landscape.jpg |--- poster.jpg |--- logo.png |--- MovieName1.srt | |--- MovieName1\ |--- MovieName1.mkv |--- MovieName1-landscape.jpg |--- MovieName1-poster.jpg |--- MovieName1-logo.png |--- MovieName1.srt Is there some tool or batch script that could do that?

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Media Center Master has the ability to move and rename your files. https://www.mediacentermaster.com/ Others prefer Renamer but I don't know if it moves directories. http://www.den4b.com/?x=products&product=renamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewaytrigger 1 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks for the tip, but no luck with Media Center Master. It does move and rename, but ignores the movie .nfo and artworks and download it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Bulk rename utility is usually the answer here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert 49 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Turn off Emby Server. Search for *.* in the movies folder. Sort by size and delete all the Metadata. Use file to folder bat to put each movie in its own folder. Restart Emby server and let it rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use file to folder bat to put each movie in its own folder. Restart Emby server and let it rebuild. I edited each .nfo with proper metadata for my language, I can't delete them. Anyway I've acomplished 50% of the task with Media Center Master (even thought I had to turn off internet to avoid mess with my metadata and artwork). All my movies are now on it's own folder. Next step is to short rename the artworks like 'MovieName-logo.png' to 'logo.png'. Any sugestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8275 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 That is where the Bulk Rename Utility can make the process a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8275 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Here is an example for you. I do a windows search for specific image (logo for example) then select all and drag and drop into BRU to rename all at once Or just leave them as they are supported that way.

onewaytrigger 1 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) That is where the Bulk Rename Utility can make the process a lot easier. But there are so many options on that program and I can't find the one that suits me... can you tell exactly how to do that? I can easily rename on cmd or batch file with ren *-logo logo.png but I need to figure a way of execute it on the root of my movie folder...

Spaceboy 2493 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yeah its a little tricky to get the hang of, but there's an undo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewaytrigger 1 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks all of you, specially Happy2Play! I did'nt know that I coul make a search on explorer and just drag all items to Bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks all of you, specially Happy2Play! I did'nt know that I coul make a search on explorer and just drag all items to Bulk. Personally I would open bulk file renamer at your lowest level folder and then use the options to include files from sub folders and filters to do it all in BFR. BFR provides many safeguard such as undo and the preview of the changes that I would try and use it at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
