Rename format examples for EvoSeedboxBot
On this page ▾
A format is the naming pattern EvoSeedboxBot applies when it renames a file. It is plain text with parts in braces: {n} - {s00e00} - {t} becomes Breaking Bad – S01E01 – Pilot. Anything in braces that has no value simply disappears, which is how optional parts work. This page lists every binding and method with examples you can paste into the Format box on the Rename tab or into Settings.
