Also see the ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ example in the code above. Write a backslash (\) in front of these character. Special characters in the TV show name (e.g. apostrophe) need to be escaped.files with ‘-got-‘ and files with ‘game.of.thrones’ in the filename. This can be helpful if you have files of the same TV show but with different file name patterns, e.g. A TV show can have more than one entry in the array.If you add the release year to the folder name your multimedia system will be thankful for this additional information. E.g there are two TV shows with the name ‘The Defenders’, one from 2010 and one from 2017. Having the release year in the folder name of the TV show helps multimedia systems like ‘KODI’ or ‘Plex’ to better identify the TV show. If you leave it out two single quotation marks have to be added nonetheless. Adding the release year of the first season is optional.Note that there is a comma (,) at the end of each line, except for the last line.Each TV shows needs at least one entry in the array.After you have copied the ‘JavaScript’ code into your ‘Hazel JavaScript action’ (see step 2 above) you will need to customize the array with your TV show names.Some additional notes about the ‘Hazel’ rule set as well as the ‘JavaScript’ - strNewFileName -> Game of Thrones S01E01 - strTvShowFolderName -> Game of Thrones (2010) Correct regex would be: (? Game of Thrones Var strOriginalFileName = inputAttributes.toLowerCase() IMPORTANT: at the end of the line of each entry a comma (,) is needed, except for the last entry value release year of the first season (3rd column) initiation of array with all search terms (1st column, keywords), TV show names (2nd column) and the optional The required ‘JavaScript’ code is listed below.

A second, separate ‘Hazel’ rule set (not visible in the image below) observes whether there are some unused sub-folders in my monitored folder after the movie files has been deleted from the hard drive.Last but not least the movie file is then deleted from the hard drive.The folder structure as well as the movie file are then copied to my Synology NAS.Thereafter, the movie file is copied into the a sub-folder according to the pattern ‘///’.If the script was succesful the movie file will be renamed according to the pattern SE., e.g.From the already existing file name the script tries to identify the correct TV show name, the season number as well as the episode number. As soon as a new movie file is detected in the folder the ‘JavaScript’ is started.
The whole ‘Hazel’ rule set works as following (also see image below): As ‘AppleScript’ is not really strong in string manipulation I gave ‘JavaScript’ in combination with ‘Hazel’ a try. However, the file renaming needed some custom programming. Therefore, I decided to us ‘ Hazel‘ to perform the above mentioned tasks. I was looking for an existing tool to handle the renaming and folder sorting tasks but didn’t find an appropriate solution.
The original file names had the following structure (examples): My goal was to automatically rename and sort all files into a logical folder hierarchy such as: However, the existing file names as well as the folder structure were not optimized for such players.
