I'd like to request a change or an option in the way that VIP files are saved. At present VIP files are saved in one of the three ways listed in Settings below.
I propose that the VIP video files simply be placed directly in the selected Output directory without the use of the subfolders such as Show Title and Season. I'm sure that the subfolders were probably set up this way so as to synch with the PlayerFab library format. I don't use PlayerFab. I use other player/library programs that use the formatting that I want. With all the VIP files being placed in one output directory I would be able to easily automate moving the files into my video library program. As it stands now with the way StreamFab has setup the output directory with subfolders, I must manually move the files into a single directory for them to be automatically accepted and processed into my video library. I could write an automation script gathering all the video files from the various subfolders but it would be much, much, more difficult than just having the video files placed directly in the Output directory. Please consider making this change or adding this option. Thank you.

If i may add to this suggestion, instead of just having a setting to enable/disable subfolders, we should disable the auto folders and have variables that we can use in the naming convention of folders and filenames.
For example, you could have something like:
Generic$(module): The name of the module used to download the file
$(vcodec): H264 or H265
$(vrange): SDR, HDR10
$(resolution): 480/576/720/1080/2160p
$(acodec): EAC3, AC3, or AAC
$(acodecstring): Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, Advanced Audio Codec
Movies$(movie): Name of the movie
$(year): Year of the movie
TV Shows$(show): TV Show name
$(season): Season number
$(epnum): Episode number
$(eptitle): Episode Title
This would then give us all the power in where to save the files and how they are named.
This would result in the folder setting and filename settings to be like this:
Movie Download Folder: D:\Stream Downloaders\StreamFab\$(module)\Movies
Movie Filename: $(movie) ($(year))\$(movie) ($(year))-$(resolution)-$(vcodec)-$(acodecstring)-WEB-DL
TV Shows Download Folder: D:\Stream Downloaders\StreamFab\$(module)\TV Shows
TV Shows Filename: $(show)\$(show) - $(season:1)x$(epnum:2) - $(eptitle) - $(vcodec) $(resolution)-WEB-DL
Notice the modifiers for season and episode numbers to specify the number of digits to return. So in that case i don't want the leading zero for season but i do want it for episode numbers.
This will help a lot of people who download a lot and need to massage the names and move files.
