script to rename 'extras' as out of the way 'specials'

[ginjaninja 511]

from thread

RenameExtrasAsSpecials v0.0.0.1.zip

Purpose

• Prefix "extras" with S00E1000+ to ensure extras show in ui, do not incorrectly match against tvdb and do not clog up "continue watching"

Requirements

• Powershell Core / path to pwsh.exe
• Windows (could be tweaked for other platforms supporting powershell core)
• minor powershell understanding to tweak to your environment
• backup of content prior to use and caution as the script renames files and has had very limited testing

Installation

• Copy script to preferred location
• Edit Path to script in .reg and install .reg
• tweak script to your preferences / environment, remove wait states post testing

Usage

• Right click folder (Season 00/Specials or below) - choose 'Rename Extras'

 

issues welcome
