I’m attempting to integrate podcasts into Plex so that I can listen to them over my Roku. This is something Plex doesn’t do well yet, but I’m following this tutorial on Reddit<\/p>\n

how to create a PODCAST library, a VIDEO PODCAST library, an AUDIO BOOK library, and much more – an ultimate plex guide <\/a><\/p>\n

The rename command, which is implemented in perl, can rename the files. <\/p>\n

The files should be in a format like this
\n“podcast name” – “s01e###” – “title”.mp3<\/em><\/p>\n

e.x.
\nthe patch – s01e100 – mortal kombat x + halo online.mp3<\/em><\/p>\n

My goal is to integrate the Escape Pod podcast, so I have the latest Escape Pod download<\/p>\n

EP502_GorlacktheDestroyersAllYouCanEatAdventure.mp3<\/em><\/p>\n

The first command to run against the filename adds Escape Pod to the beginning and puts the episode number into a Season\/Episode format (S01E502)<\/p>\n

rename -v ‘s\/EP(\\d+)_(.*[A-Z].+)\\.mp3\/Escape Pod – S01E$1 – $2\\.mp3\/’ EP502_GorlacktheDestroyersAllYouCanEatAdventure.mp3 <\/em>
\nresults in
\nEP502_GorlacktheDestroyersAllYouCanEatAdventure.mp3 renamed as Escape Pod – S01E502 – GorlacktheDestroyersAllYouCanEatAdventure.mp3<\/em><\/p>\n

The title is still a little ugly, so we run this command which will add a space in front of each capital letter in the title except the first one.
\nrename -nv ‘s\/([a-z])([A-Z])\/$1\\ $2\/g’ .\/Escape\\ Pod\\ -\\ S01E502\\ -\\ GorlacktheDestroyersAllYouCanEatAdventure.mp3 <\/em>
\nresults in
\n.\/Escape Pod – S01E502 – GorlacktheDestroyersAllYouCanEatAdventure.mp3 renamed as .\/Escape Pod – S01E502 – Gorlackthe Destroyers All You Can Eat Adventure.mp3<\/em><\/p>\n

This gets us close. Unfortunately “the” wasn’t capitalized, so it’s not easy to add a space in there.
\nI ran this command
\nrename -n ‘s\/(the\\ )\/\\ $1\/’ *mp3<\/em>
\nresult
\nEscape Pod – S01E502 – Gorlackthe Destroyers All You Can Eat Adventure.mp3 renamed as Escape Pod – S01E502 – Gorlack the Destroyers All You Can Eat Adventure.mp3<\/em>
\nwhich worked in this situation, but it has a good probability for false positives.<\/p>\n

This isn’t perfect, but it gets me much closer to where I want to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
