Rename Recordings

[rockstar]

After a system crash amd reload, I'm trying to get my recordings to be renamed by episode title. I'm using GBPVR 0.97.13. I believe I used to use RecordingsManager, but no longer see it listed as a current utility.

If I run myold copy of RecordingsManager from a command line, I get this error.

I found RenameRecording, but have had no success so far. I have quite a few recording that I would like to have renamed. I have created a postprocessing.bat file with RenameRecording.exe %1 > rename.log as the only line. Since I haven't yet had any recordings renamed, I'm not sure it's even being invoked.

When I run RenameRecordings from a command line, specifying the mpg with full path to rename, I get an error "No episode name found." If I view the recording via the GBPVR menus, Recordings - Ready - , it correctly shows the episode title.

So what's te current method to rename recordings with the episode title?

Thanks.

I have used renamerecordings for a good while. it is different from renamerecording (no "s" at the end) the one with the "s" does not need any arguments at all, and can be run at any time. It will scan the whole database and will rename everything it can. I have been having problems with it, and I "think" it is due to the commongbpvrutilities.dll (i think that is the file). I edited my post processing.bat to rename the .dll to use the old one when renamerecordings runs, and then rename it back. Kind of a hack, but is is working.

Of all these tools for renaming the recordings to episode title, the only one I can find is RenameRecording, without the s. Where can I find RenameRecordings (with the s) ?

Is there a currently supported tool for doing this?

if you have switched over to the sqlite database, none of the old file renaming utilities will work. if that is the case, try addepisode.

otherwise, renamerecordings is here

Thanks for the informative reply. Last night after a show was recorded, postprocessing,bat must have kicked off RenameRecording (without the s) and it correctly renamed the single show.

This morning, I downloaded RenameRecordings (with the s), ran it from a command line, and it renamed my large backlog of recorded shows.

So of the three utilities
1) RenameRecording
2) RenameRecordings
3) RecordingsManager

1) Are any of these utilities current and and still developed/supported? i.e which one should I now be using ?

2) If you convert from the standard Access database to sqlite, is addepisode the correct utility to rename to episode titles ? Is there any other utility that should be considered?

Thanks for your help !

Yes - it works with no problems for me
