How to ignore part of the title in files?

[KIRBYROLL 1]

So, I have a Google Drive Unit on my PC using the program RaiDrive,  the problem is, that most of the tv shows have namings including the words "Copy of"

Example:

Copy of Adventure Time -01x01

I want to know if Emby accepts this as well or does not accept

Because i can't rename since it's a shared drive and not drive. 

Thank You.

Why does that prevent you renaming the files?

Probably need a complete real example as an episode naming is really irrelevant as it should parse 01x01 for the show ie folder name.

But yes "copy of anything" will be an indentification issue unless all metadata already exists for the content.

Because i don't have permission to rename or delete the files

Why ? 

Is it not you self ripped media ?

Hi,

You might be best off creating strm files for each file google drive media file and using these strm files to build your library.
This would allow you to have control over the file name and folder structure that you add to Emby. The strm file name can be created without the "copy of" in its name.
The use of strm files would also stop all Emby background tasks that probe the media to gather information about the media file which will make loading your library much faster and not use google drive bandwidth which is limited each day.  With the use of strm files, Emby will probe the media on first use and save this info locally. It's a much friendlier way to use remote mounted media like google drive.

RaiDrive will make the media appear as a locally mounted hard drive and Emby will use it just as id it were a local drive probing all the media during library scanning.
