thanks that worked great now the hard part I have to tune my comskip lol

Great! Glad you got it working.

Hi, just found this after getting a (presumably false positive) virus warning for AddEpsiode with AVG8 today (AutoIT worm?). Looks great so far, especially like the GUI mode.

Just one thing, what does "%~f1" actually represent, and why did it work for Yonu when "%1" didn't? Should everyone be using it instead of "%1"?

[_gl]

... and a small bug report. Whilst trying to rename a file in the GUI mode, I got an error "could not find part of the path D:\Program Files\Devnz\Gbpvr\media\Art".

Turns out I didn't have an Art folder, adding it manually worked.

... and another one. Trying to rename this file in GUI mode

E:\- AV -\Video\- Recordings -\Frasier\Frasier's Edge.mpg

using this pattern

{show}{[ - ]}{episode} ({year}{month}{day},{hour}{minute})

Gives me this error

"ERROR: SQLite Error: near "s": syntax error

It's gotta be the apostrophe right (Frasier's)?

Full log below. Also I would ideally like to surround my date/time in (). Note I've added them, but they're not used for the resulting name. What's the correct way to do this?

"%~f1" treats the filename as one parameter, whereas "%1" breaks on every space.

Turns out I didn't have an Art folder, adding it manually worked.

This will be fixed in the next version.

Yep, apostrophe is the culprit. I will fix in next version.

Actually, looks like you can't. I work on this so you will preface the character with a backslash. Your pattern would be:

{show}{[ - ]}{episode} \({year}{month}{day},{hour}{minute}\)

I'll try to get this in the next version as well.

"%~f1" treats the filename as one parameter, whereas "%1" breaks on every space.

OK, but what's the most reliable one? Should we just use "%~f1" by default?

As for the rest, look forward to the next version, thanks JW.

BTW while you're fixing the ', are you already filtering out characters that aren't allowed in filenames (eg \ / ? > : etc)? That has tripped similar utilities up in the past.

New version (v0.1.0.2) posted on the wiki.

Thanks JavaWiz

This is very neat.

On little thing that isn't working for me: {hour} doesn't seem to be returning a 24 hour clock time - See original filename and log extracts below.

Filename : Cula 4Go, Diego, Go!_20080602_08400905.mpg
Evalute called.
Source : Cula 4:Go, Diego, Go!
Pattern: {show}{[ - ]}({episode}{or}{year}{month}{day}_{hour}{minute})
Result : Cula 4 Go, Diego, Go! - 20080620_0840

Filename : On the Limit Sports_20080619_22000000.mpg
Evalute called.
Source : On the Limit Sports
Pattern: {show}{[ - ]}({episode}{or}{year}{month}{day}_{hour}{minute})
Result : On the Limit Sports - 20080619_1000

Thanks again !!

Try this version. Unzip and copy to the gbpvr directory.

JavaWiz hasn't said this yet, but in the new version's ReadMe the filename param is now "%~f1", so it looks like "%1" shouldn't be used.
