So, I am going a little bit astray this time and talking about a little bash script I had to create to rename the files I ripped from Schoolhouse Rock Special 30th Anniversary Edition using MakeMKV so Plex can correctly ingest them. It isn't much, but it is honest work.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Rename Schoolhouse Rock! Special 30th Anniversary Edition (2002 DVD) MakeMKV rips
# into Plex-friendly filenames: "Schoolhouse Rock - S01E01 - Title.mkv"
#
# HOW TO USE:
# 1. Run with --dry-run first to see what would happen (default).
# 2. Fill in any "TBD_" entries below once you've identified them (see notes).
# 3. Run with --apply to actually rename the files.
#
# HOW TO IDENTIFY UNKNOWN FILES:
# ffplay -ss 5 -t 8 -autoexit "DISC1/H3_t37.mkv" # plays 8 seconds starting at 0:05
# (or open in VLC/mpv - most of these songs are recognizable within a few seconds)
set -euo pipefail
MODE="dry-run"
if [[ "${1:-}" == "--apply" ]]; then
MODE="apply"
