So, my honest opinion, just for ease of use. Have you looked at sonarr?
I've got it doing all sorts of media management.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0So - I'm trying to clean up some file names so that plex w=
ill index<br>
my Simpsons episodes correctly.<br>
<br>
Currently, I have stuff named like this:<br>
<br>
1205 Homer vs. Dignity.mpg<br>
1206 The Computer Wore Menace Shoes.mpg<br>
1207 The Great Money Caper.mpg<br>
1208 Skinner's Sense of Snow.mpg<br>
<br>
That is - first two numbers are the season, second two are the episode.<br>
<br>
I'd like to rename them like this:<br>
<br>
s12e05 Homer vs. Dignity.mpg<br>
s12e06 The Computer Wore Menace Shoes.mpg<br>
s12e07 The Great Money Caper.mpg<br>
s12e08 Skinner's Sense of Snow.mpg<br>
<br>
so, after a little man pages and google,=C2=A0 I tried the following:<br>
<br>
matt@owncloud:/backup/SIMPSONS/12$ for f in *.mpg; do echo mv $f<br>
$(echo $f | sed -e 's/\([0-9][0-9]\)\([0-9][0-9]\)/s\1e\2/'); done<=

mv 1205 Homer vs. Dignity.mpg s12e05 Homer vs. Dignity.mpg<br>
mv 1206 The Computer Wore Menace Shoes.mpg s12e06 The Computer Wore<br>

mv 1207 The Great Money Caper.mpg s12e07 The Great Money Caper.mpg<br>
mv 1208 Skinner's Sense of Snow.mpg s12e08 Skinner's Sense of Snow.=
mpg<br>
<br>
Basically, I'm searching for a group of two numbers and then another<br=

two numbers and then I'm replacing with an "s", then group 1,=

"e", then group 2, and then the rest of the file name.<br>
this seems to do what I want, except when I take out the "echo" i=
n the<br>
for loop - it doesn't actually work because I'm not escaping the<br=

spaces correctly (I think that's why it's failing anyway)<br>
<br>
so - I tried this:<br>
<br>
matt@owncloud:/backup/SIMPSONS/12$ for f in *.mpg; do echo mv $f<br>
${f/([0-9][0-9])([0-9][0-9])/s\1e\2/}; done<br>
