How to name TV show files
Updated Jul 14, 2026
TV shows follow the movie pattern and add season (S) and episode (E) fields:
tt0000000_filename_year_S0?_E0?_A+EN+ES+PT(+EN/ES/PT)_Resolution.suffixnameReal example
The fourth episode of the seventh season of Game of Thrones has three audio options. The correct file name is:
tt0944947_Game.of.Thrones_2011_S07_E04_A+EN+ES+PT_R720P.mp4The season & episode fields
| Field | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| S0? | Season, two digits | S07 |
| E0? | Episode, two digits | E04 |
| A+EN+ES+PT | Audio tracks available | EN + ES + PT |
Always use two digits: S01, S07, E04, E12. This keeps episodes in the right order.
All the other fields (IMDb ID, title, year, audio, resolution, extension) work exactly like movies.
