[QUOTE="jreberry, post: 835449, member: 118284"] Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using Mediaportal to record TV shows from an ATSC antenna. Mediaportal places the shows in folders based on the show name. It gets the show information from the episode guide xml file. Often, the guide is missing season and episode numbers. Unfortunately, the TV-Series plugin requires both season and episode numbers to scrape the series information correctly. This is the problem that I have and the forums show many other people with the same problem. To fix this problem with importing, we need to scrape the season and episode information and re-name the files accordingly prior to importing into the TV-Series plugin. I've tried all of the recommendations I can find in the forums (Media Renamer, therenamer, Media Center Master, tv renamer, etc). FileBot seems to work the best for scrapping the season and episode info and renaming the video files. However, the other associated files are left with the original file name. A show example is below... If I record Wipeout, the TV server gives me these files... D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.ts D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.edl D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.txt D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.log D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.xml These files fail to import into the TV-Series plugin because they lack season and episode information. If I point FileBot to the "D:\TV Shows" folder, scan and rename i get this... D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - S03E13- Family Tree.ts D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.edl D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.txt D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.log D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - Family Tree.xml Now, the show correctly imports into the TV-Series plugin because it has season and episode numbers. Unfortunately, the other files no longer match the ts file so I loose commercial skipping etc. It would be ideal if FileBot would also rename the associated files like this... D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - S03E13- Family Tree.ts D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - S03E13 - Family Tree.edl D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - S03E13 - Family Tree.txt D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - S03E13 - Family Tree.log D:\TV Shows\Wipeout\Wipeout - S03E13 - Family Tree.xml Then the show would correctly import into TV-Series and the other files would still match the ts file. I see several ways this could potentially be implemented. If there were a way for me to add video formats to FileBot, I could tell it that .edl .txt .log and .xml files are video files. Presumably FileBot would then also rename those files as well. Alternatively, there could be an option to "rename all files with the same name" so anything matching "Wipeout - Family Tree" would be renamed to "Wipeout - S03E13 - Family Tree". I couldn't get the other renamer programs to work correctly (not the topic of this thread), but FileBot worked perfect except for this one issue. I'm not a developer, but I'm hoping it would be an easy feature to add. Thanks again for the quick response and the great utility. --Jon [/QUOTE]
