[QUOTE="cooper2k4, post: 714211, member: 88118"] I think most of us have at some time had the idea of renaming all movies with nice looking filenames. The idea is simple but the solution took me nearly 2 years. I tried several file renamers found on the web, but none really satisfied me. The main problem was that you have to search and approve all movies again, even if you have them already in the Moving Pictures database. The provided interfaces weren't good and too elaborate to use. The approach to use the Moving Pictures database which already contains all required information was the most obvious solution to me. Therefore I had some faith in jmcentire's apps that worked to some point.

So we don't need third party tools anymore.

[IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=76996&stc=1&d=1297532846[/IMG] The rename pattern is specified in About->'Advanced Settings'. You can put there for example: [CODE]${movie.title} (${movie.year}) [${movie.imdb_id}]${moviepart}[/CODE] This will produce a file as follows that can easily be reimported in Moving Pictures or used with XBMC or WDTV.

[IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=77060&stc=1&d=1297618091[/IMG] Renaming also supports directories and even secondary files like .nfo or .srt, etc. The original filename is saved in the MP database and you can undo any changes later.
