Plex Series Format Fixer

Overview

Plex Series Format Fixer is an application designed to traverse a specified folder and automatically format episode/season names according to predefined patterns. The app searches for naming patterns specified in a patterns.json file (which you can edit) and replaces them with a standardized format: SXXEXX.

Getting Started

1. Download the latest release targeting your platform.
2. (Optional) Edit the patterns.json file if the ep/season pattern you are trying to target is not included.
3. Copy the path to the folder holding your episodes.
4. Run the application and follow the prompts.

Supported Patterns:

Pattern	Description	Example Input	Output
S(?<season>\d+)-(?<episode>\d+)	Matches "S01-02"	S01-02	S01E02
S(?<season>\d+)[._]E(?<episode>\d+)	Matches "S01.E02" or "S01_E02"	S01.E02	S01E02
Season (?<season>\d+) Episode (?<episode>\d+)	Matches "Season 1 Episode 2"	Season 1 Episode 2	S01E02
S(?<season>\d+)E(?<episode>\d+)	Matches "S1E2"	S1E2	S01E02
S(?<season>\d+)\s-\sE(?<episode>\d+)	Matches "S1 - E02"	S1 - E02	S01E02

Asking me to include patterns

If you think there is a common pattern that I haven't included, please submit an issue and I'll do my best to add it.

Adding patterns Yourself

Simply open the patterns.json file and add the Regex pattern you want to include. Something like ChatGPT can be useful in generating those.

Example

1. You have a file named Series Name Season 1 Episode 1.mkv
2. You need to replace Season 1 Episode 1 with S01E01 (The app already includes this but this is simply an example)
3. Find out the regex for the pattern In this case it's Season (?<season>\d+) Episode (?<episode>\d+)
4. Append that regex to the property called patterns in patterns.json
5. Run the app.
