[QUOTE="stanoislav, post: 131314, member: 46777"] I have put together a little utility that helps me preprocess video files before I use them in the MediaPortal. If you have your videos in multiple archives (rar, zip, ...) and have .nfo file in the same folder that contains a link to IMDB the vidUnpacker can do the following: 1. find out the IMDB url from the .nfo file 2. connect to IMDB to lookup full name of the movie 3. open the IMDB url in a browser 4. create folder that exactly matches IMDB name 5. unpacks all the archives with the movies (with processing multiple CD folders if necessary) and renames teh uznipped movie files to match the IMDB name 6. finds the subtitle folder if present and unpacks them with correct names 7. moves the source files into recycle bin run vidUnpacker.exe -? for full list of options you can for example create a shortcut that would execute "vidUnpacker.exe -p c:\movies -s" and double clicking on the shortcut would unpack all your videos in the movies folder It is something that might be useful as a MP plugin (or included in existing MP modules). If anybody wants to pick it up I can publish teh source code (c#). Let me know if you have any suggestions. s. [/QUOTE]
