Naming conventions
- Use leading numbers to keep folders sorted.
- Prefer YYYYMMDD for date-stamped files (e.g., 20130923_S01E01).
- Keep file names concise: SeriesTitle_SxxExx_EpisodeTitle.ext
How to populate episode metadata
- Include subtitle/caption files (.srt) named identically to video files.
- Add .nfo or Info.txt with episode synopsis, original air date, director, writer.
- Tag files with embedded metadata using media managers (Plex, Kodi) to ensure consistent display.
Legal and ethical note
Only include episodes you own or have legal access to; this pack is intended for organizing legitimate library collections and reference materials.
Final tips
- Start with a master spreadsheet listing all new series and premiere dates — helps prioritise downloads or recordings.
- Use cloud-synced folders for cross-device access, but ensure storage complies with copyright and privacy considerations.
- Archive promotional materials and press kits separately from episode media for quick reference.
This folder-pack approach turns the busy fall premiere season into a tidy, searchable archive — ideal for collectors, reviewers, or anyone catching up on 2013’s new TV offerings.
