TV Show Metadata to include Show Title?

[Henry Jung]

Let's say I have the files/folders structured as the following:

SNL
| season 1
  | ep 1 (SNL.Hahaha.S01.E01.mkv)
  | ep 2
| season 2

I know JF is designed in a way to load the show title from the folder name, in this case, SNL.

However, the same information is also available in the file name as SNL, and I wonder if there's a way to configure it to load the Show title from there.

A drawback is, I wasn't able to find any attribute from the Metadata where it actually has the Show title. It seems it only has the Metadata for the title of the episode only (ie Hahaha)

Is there any way to enable this? I have quite a lot of files without the entire episodes of the series and I still want to manage them without creating sunflowers for each of them.

There is no configurability for the file/folder name parser. It will use the folder for the show name and the file name for the season and episode number (s01e01). Anything else you have in the file name is superfluous.

Once it has that information it goes out to TMDB, or whatever configured metadata source, to get episode names, descriptions, etc.
