put season/episode information in filename

[dbldown768]

I get what you mean about not moving and renaming, but even if I could modify the renaming convention. I guess if i got rid of the sub-title information it wouldnt show up in the filename - not sure how i feel about that just yet. I guess the positive part is at least it grabs the season / episode information. I might be able to write something quick to move the files the way i want based off the filenames.

I just ran the renamer manually to see what would happen. seemed to work just fine. I did however create a postProcessing.bat file to see how it all works together - without my intervention.

It sounds like you're using Ultra V1. That's great. It should work fine for you...

I'm planning on building a Post Processing tool that will handle comksip, comclean, renaming and relocating, and transcoding

Many people having things like this already but the renaming throws everything off in a batch file.

3/17/2009 9:37:41 PM : Renamed: Scrubs_20090317_21302200.ts to Scrubs-S01E15-My.Bed.Banter.&.Beyond.ts

I was able to write a very quick and crude program to parse the string above. It will change Scrubs-S01E15-My.Bed.Banter.&.Beyond.ts to something like c:\Recorded TV\Scrubs\Season 01\Scrubs-S01E15.ts just as i needed.

If anyone cares... here is the exe. It takes 3 arguments.

1 - the location of where the files are stored
2- where you want to move the files too
3 - the extension of the files to look for.

For my pc at home i run it in the postProcessing.bat file with the following command

Code:

C:\EPG\Organizer\Organization.exe "C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV" "C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV" .ts

Be very careful... Ultra renamer takes only the title and the sub_title and makes a name. You program assumes that there is a SeasEp Num in the subtitle.

title = Star Trek
sub_title = S01E01-The Man Trap
result= Star.Trek-S01E01-The.Man.Trap.mpg

When Renamer finds a show that doesn't have a SeasEP Number the resulting File name

title = Star Trek
sub_title = The Man Trap
result = Star.Trek-The.Man.Trap.mpg

If it finds a show that has no sub_title at all, it uses a date

title = American Idol
sub_title = null
result = American.Idol-2009-03-18.mpg

This is necessary because if you rename two shows, without unique identifiers, you'll have a problem. Your program could potentially remove anything unique from the filename

When I do finish Ultra Renamer 2, I'll be sure to add your feature, to have certain file types moved into certain directories, and NOT require to display the sub_title text

yes right now i am going by the assumption that it should contain season /episode information it it. I was planning on using regular expressions to make sure the filename qualified to be renamed, if it didnt, i wasn't going to touch the file.
