Usage ‐ SLM ‐ Settings: File Name Options for Stream Links and Files - babsonnexus/stream-link-manager-for-channels GitHub Wiki

Whether for organizational reasons, clarity decisions, or a requirement of your media player server, there may be a need to modify the names of the Stream Link/File files that are generated by SLM, especially for TV Show episodes. By default, the name will just be the season and episode in a SxxExx format, i.e., S01E01.strmlnk. However, there are several ways this can be made different. Under File Name Options for Stream Links/Files, there are potential selections for adding the TV Show name and/or the Episode title:

Do note that in order to use the Episode title, that metadata must exist in SLM, either imported or entered manually. If it does not exist, then that particular option is skipped when making file names. With any of these checked off, the result may look like:

The Name of the Show (2026) - S01E01.strmlnk
Name of the Episode - S01E01.strmlnk
The Name of the Show (2026) - Name of the Episode - S01E01.strmlnk

Further, per individual episode, users have the ability to put a prefix on the generated file.

As an example, you may want to designate that this is a subtitled episode and that dubbed episodes might become available in the future. For this, a prefix of (SUB) will result in a file name of:

(SUB) S01E01.strmlnk
(SUB) The Name of the Show (2026) - S01E01.strmlnk
(SUB) Name of the Episode - S01E01.strmlnk
(SUB) The Name of the Show (2026) - Name of the Episode - S01E01.strmlnk
