Rename files? (1 Viewer)

[SiLenTYL]

Hi all!

Ive been using this and moving pictures for ages and im tired of having to manually go in and change search strings over and over. Is there a way to rename files inside the MP TVSeries config like u can in Moving Pictures?

No, not atm. You can use Filebot instead... Best renaming tool for series in my opinion.

I'm using Mediarenamer (thread somewhere here in the forum) and i'm very pleased with it.what are you using for movies? ember media manager? is there a better way for movies? (sorry for OT but nearly the same issue )

EDIT: Therenamer is the best.

Im using theRenamer (http://www.therenamer.com/)
after some manual renaming of files to their correct seriesnumber/episode number it works fine...
Other random files that dont match ive moved all to another folder so the vidoe db doesnt scan them

EDIT: this is so that MP TVSeries plugin works well, not the internal video db

Seriesrenamer and Mediarenamer both look very promising.
I've only tested FileBot and theRenamer (and a couple of other tools not worth mentioning here). I gave up on theRenamer cause I didn't like the interface and couldn't get it to work as expected.

I think this is a good move either way. I've got several shares for series, movies, homevideos, testing stuff.
This way you can give any plugin the sources it needs.

If you have good scrapper you don't need to rename files

pretty much any half ass scraper you don't need to rename files, but scrapers don't place downloads in correct directories. also some people like to have their files nicely named with identical format. renamers can also be set to auto mode, auto unzip, auto download subtitles, auto move files + rename them, auto delete .nfo files and .txt files etc etc.

Off-topic, watched http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1094241/ the other day and now I am constantly reminded of that movie when I see your signature (did you spell it wrong on purpose btw?)

typo, also I think TheRenamer might be better than seriesrenamer.
