Media Renamer [v2.0 2009-07-21] (1 Viewer)

It seems .ts extension is not recognized by TV Renamer. Could you please add it?

BTW, great work and thanks.

ccMatrix ,
I have been using TV Show Renamer for a while but it seems now that most shows are not recognized. It pulls up the same list of choices for 99% of what is in the folder - and they are all wrong. Is there any way to see what is going on that is causing the problem?

Agreed - maybe ccmatrix could open source this and people could create a new tool? A MP plugin would really be the best solution I think.

Actually the source code is always included in the setup. I have also started a new project at http://code.google.com/p/mediarenamer/ where I have also uploaded the source code. I am working (when I have time) on a new version 2.0 which hopefully will include an automatic renamer. I want to make it as a windows service so that there are not so many applications in the system tray. If you are interested in participating and working on it I can add you to the project. This is also an invitation for others. Since I am now working on my Master of Engineering there is quite some time going into studies.

The error Livin mentioned is probably because of the name of the folder which is the primary source of the series name. The renamer currently expects a folderstructure like this:

Seriesname\Season X\episodefile.ext

So if all episodefiles are just in a folder "Series" like

Series\episodefile1.ext
Series\episodefile2.ext

it will try to find the series "Series" for every file and this series doesn't exist and returns a lot of results from the database which most likely are not suited for this series. This is something to look into when working on 2.0.

In 2.0 I am also moving all the functionality (which should include service management for watch folders and configuration) into a single application with different tabs. In the future it would also be feasable to have musik renaming or some other renaming capabilities in the future. But this would need a lot more time from me or some volunteers. Feel free to check out the code if you are interested.

A plugin for MP would also be nice. If the service stands a plugin could be used to tell the user about the latest renames and the status of the service. I would love to work more on the project but there is only so much time in a day...

^^ Sounds great. I would LOVE an automatic renamer, let me know if you need help testing it.

Since I use a Linux machine as a fileserver I will sometime in the future need some people to test it on Windows shares. But that is probably some time in the future. What I would need is somebody with experience in planning and developing windows services since I do not have any experience with that.

great tool by the way.
Wondering if anyone has encountered a problem where the tool crashes when doing a scan.
What I found was that if the tool encountered a program thats not on the website its using it abends.
I foun dthis with the Jesse Stone program and I think one other that escapes me right now.
Other then tha tit works great

I think music renaming is already handeled very well by programs such as MusicbrainZ Picard (which matches mp3s to
online database just like media renamer)
Just want to avoid people re-inventing the wheel.

We are renaming video files here, this program doesn't rename audio.

I was just giving info in regards to ccMatrix's suggestion to add music renaming to TVshowRenamer. Its probably not worth it given the good applications already out there.

Hi ccMatrix,

I've used your App for a while and we spoke on email a while ago about the Automatic functions.

I know of 3 programs like yours so far and all 3 of you seem to be in the same situation. Working/Studying alot and getting little time to work on and include the features you want to on your programs.

WHy don't you guys get together and pool your resources as you all seem to have your Pro's and Con's and are all working on the same things essentially.

There is another program called Epnamer you can find here - http://www.epnamer.com/ with its own forum

And there is another by Rob Meerman here - http://www.robmeerman.co.uk/coding/file_renamer#contact_the_author

All have their own followers who don't seem to know about the others. If the 3 of your pooled your efforts you would have a kick ass app!
