No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I've spent a few days now ripping dvds I own of some tv series, but the names of the individual files are all stupid (they're almost all something like t0_01) so it's completely unsorted in jellyfin. Is there an easy or automated way to fix this without clicking each one and manually renaming it?

Maybe not quite the right comm, but I'm feeling pretty stupid right now so I think it fits?

I've often found a weird pattern with the file names where they'll be sequential except the first episode from the disk will be the last sequential file name.

So I'll manually check, then rename the last file so its sequentially first.

Then I'll use Advanced Renamer and a CSV of the episode titles to make it rename all the files properly like:

S01E01 'episode title'

Advanced Renamer can add the S01E01 and increment the episode number as it does the rename.

It sometimes takes a couple passes to get it the way I want it.

Just earlier I was renaming and had the same problem as you - once I figured out the pattern I just renamed the appropriate file in each season folder, then remamed all the files with their season, episode number and episode title using Advanced Renamer.

When I rip a dvd I have all episodes from one season go into a Season X folder - it makes managing them easier and Jellyfin wants season folders anyway.
