Overview
Infuse supports a wide variety of naming formats, and will fetch info for most titles automatically. Here are a few tips for how files can be named to get the best results.
Movies
Individual movies
Pulp Fiction (1994).mkv
Inception.avi
Captain-America-The-Winter-Soldier-2014.mp4
Movies grouped into folders with related files (images, subtitles, etc...)
/Movies/Pulp Fiction
> Pulp Fiction (1994).mkv
> Pulp Fiction (1994).srt
> Pulp Fiction (1994).jpg
> Pulp Fiction-fanart.jpg
> Pulp Fiction.nfo
/Movies/Inception
> Inception.avi
> Inception.srt
> Inception.jpg
> Inception-fanart.jpg
> Inception.xml
Including the release year in the filename is not required, but it can help get more accurate results.
TV Shows
Individual TV show episodes
- show-name_s01e02.mkv
- show-name_s1e2.mkv
- show-name_s01.e02.mkv
- show-name_s01_e02.mkv
- show-name_1x02.mkv
- show name/any folder/S01E02.mkv
- show name/any folder/01.02.mkv
- show name/season 1/02.mkv
- show name/season 1/1-02.mkv
- show name/season 1/episode 02.mkv
Option 6-10 cannot be used with Google Drive, OneDrive, or Box.
Organizing episodes into folders
TV Shows/The Big Bang Theory
> Season 1
> Files
> Season 2
> Files
> Season 3
> Files
TV Shows/The Office
> Season 1
> Files
> Season 2
> Files
> Season 3
> Files
TV Specials
For episodes classified as a 'special' a season number of 0 should be used.
Breaking-Bad.S00.E01.mkv
Lost.S00.E01.mkv
Period, space, underscore, and dash can all be used interchangeably as separator characters for both movies and TV shows.
Anime
Anime is currently classified as a TV series, and even though it doesn't usually have seasons (in the typical sense) you will need to include a season number in the filename in order for Infuse to get the correct metadata. This will also allow for Infuse to group all episodes together.
For example, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations includes 200+ episodes in Season 1, so a filename like this can be used: Boruto Naruto Next Generations S01 E210.mp4
