Change TV recording naming convention

[concord 0]

Is there a way to modify the way that TV recording files are named?

Hi @@concord, how would you like them to be named instead?

I think something customizable like this would be convenient: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/changing-recorded-tv-default-file-name-in-windows/e723ca67-df47-4435-a489-fffcec1446c0?auth=1

Hi @@concord, how would you like them to be named instead?

 

Hi Luke,

 

 For example: "Blue Bloods (2010) - S07E22 - The Thin Blue Line.mkv".  If there is an option in Emby that I can use to configure this, great...it would make things easier for me .  My other option is write a c\c++ program and rename them myself.

 

Reason:

I have two HDhomeRun tuners and they use a different antennas due to my bad location (in a valley) with multi-path issues.  I have one going to Plex and the other to Emby.  Some channels are more solid on one than the other, depending on atmospherics (and changing seasons).  Also, if a software update causes issues, then hopefully the other records the show (i.e. Plex currently has an issue with recording multiple episodes in a row). 

 

After a week of recordings, I check the recordings for any issues on series I want to save without commercials and delete the bad ones.  Then I run a script that checks to see if the episode (under recordings library) is already under tvshows library, if not then I use comskip and handbrake to remove the commercials and save it under tvshows.
