filename metadata

[xiosensei 22]

I am looking for a metadata plugin that allows me to extract info from filename.

 

For example, lets say I name my movies this way:

05-02-2008 - Iron Man - SciFi - Jon Favreau

I would like to use regex inside emby to Identify that 05-02-2008 is the release date, Iron Man is the title, SciFi is the genre, Jon Favreau is director

 

Anything like that exist already? It would really help as I would like to keep my collection the way it is now without missing up my file naming convention.

Hi, we don't have anything like this, although if that title happens to get identified correctly I imagine it will be able to pull the same information from the internet.

@@Luke anything close to it? I would like to build something like that if you can point me into the right direction.. something that I can modify to make it do what I want it to do.

Unfortunately not really. It has been on my to do list for quite some time to expose the rules engine for configuration, but there's seemingly always other things more important.
