tweaking the recording filename format

[jrousell]

Does anyone know if there is a way to tweak with the filenaming of TV recordings in GBPVR.

I want to start using XBMC on some remote locations to grab content via UPNP form the main server that stores my GBPVR TV recordings... and if we could get GBPVR to store them in a certain filenameing syntax then XBMC could parsse the finlename and then scrape to get episode and other info...

XBMC looks to have the ability to setup regular expression info on the filename but essentially it would need season number in the filename( and episode number ideally)... in order to do a lookup and get date and summary and actors etc... ( pretty images etc...) anyone have any ideas? info?

I am thinking maybe a config setting where we can set the file naming structure from a set of choices like series name, season #, episode#, date etc...

thanks for your time

GB-PVR doesnt know the season number or episode number, so cant put these in the filename.

ahhhh.. that about clears that up... Thanks as always sub for an amazingly fast response!

You may have a look at WizRenameRecoring although I do not think it does exactly what you want.

the "wiz" tools look like they could possibly work-- the one tool for grabbing info like episode, and the renamer run in batch mode for inserting that type of data.. it certainly looks possible... and I have no problem with this being a nightly batch type of thing...

You could also use UltraXMLTV Enhancer that will add the Season and Episode number to the Episode name and then use WizRenameRecoring so that it has the information you need.

UltraXMLTV_Enhancer will give you the Season and Episode information. Then the UltraXMLTV_Renamer will rename the file in post processing...

The WizRenameRecording utility worked well for me (although I did have to install the Visual J# redist package, as described on the wiki page). It added the season and episode numbers to the filename so that Boxee can catalog them.

Now I just have to figure out how to add it to the nightly batch job...
