Add Series data (intro year) to Naming Templates

[adsaxton]

I maintain my video collection by including the year to Movies and TV Series in the form of "Title (Year)"

I would like the year added to the export template.

This would include Folders for TV Series as well as the individual episodes.

IE: From (2022) / Season 01 / From (2022) - S01E01 - Long Day's Journey Into Night.mp4 Life Of Brian (1979).mp4

You can go to Settings->Naming and edit/create new Series and Movies naming templates in whatever format you want.

The default Movies template includes the year {{movie_airing.release_year}}

For Series you can start with {{episode.orig_air_date}} or {{airing_details.datetime}}, then apply the truncate helper like this to only include the year: {{truncate airing_details.datetime 4}}

Yes. I figured that out for the movie release date.

Unfortunately, the dates available for series are the airing date, rather than the series date. I need the date the series was introduced. I know it's there somewhere, as my previous solution, "Tablo Ripper" supplied that date. Unfortunately, Tablo Ripper no longer works through WINE in MacOS and no longer supported.

Sorry, yup, I see where I didn't include the necessary Series info in the Naming Template options.

Reopening this open so I fix it if/when I make a new build.
