$L {($Y)}\$L {($Y)} should be all you need. Are you setting this up in Settings->Modules->Renamer? That gives you a table for all options and will save your settings for future scrapings. Also check Settings->Movies->Files and Sources->Defaults For New Sources->Sort files into folders before each update.

I think the folder pattern is only used if you've set the movie source to "each movies is in a own folder".
If you remove your sorces and re-add it with "separate folder for each movie" enabled than any videofile that is directly stored in the source folder will be moved into an own folder with the same name. Also all images and trailers will be moved if they beginn with the same name. After that you can use the Bulk Renamer under Tools to cleanup your files and directories.

mmmm...ok I'll try this but in the first time I set "each file in separate folder" and ember fuond only a couple of films (that were in subfolders) and not all the others in the principal folder, but if Dan says to do that, now I'll retray.
Thanks!

Yes, if the option "each movie in separate folder" is enabled than only one movie per folder will be recognized. So you have to manually sort out the movies that actually are in subfolders. But any movie that has been stored in the source folder will be moved to an own folder while database update.

there are no errors in the log file, now I'll try to reinstall ember and remove all .nfo files then execute with admin rights

I did a quick test with a few movies
One folder with the movies
One movie with it's own folder including it's movie
Start Ember (no source set up yet) and go to tools menu, select sort movies in to it's own folder
Checked what's happen, and all is sorted to a folder with the same name as the movie file,the one that already in correct folder was untouched
Set up a source in Ember and let it scrape them
To clean up the folder and movie names (not necessary, just if you want it clean)
I use this setting for renaming, but everyone has his own ideas and likings
For movie folder: $T {($Y)} gives you Movietitle (year)
For file pattern: $T ($Y){.$S} gives you movietitle (year.moviesource)
Run the Bulk renamer
After that all is sorted and named nicely
So you can do the same yourself with a small testfolder before running on your main collection
?
