Saw you watched my moovy project on github. Seems we have the same ideas in mind! I discovered tvdb last night and was going to write pretty much exactly what you've done in ruby to rename all my tv shows.

I don't actually store or watch my tv shows off my mac and instead sit on a 2TB vista file server / htpc. Was playing around with making a rails app to run of the HTPC which provided a nice listing of all my tv shows -- displaying banners, episode summaries/ratings and try to find a way to make it also a controller for media center or a vlc instance to stream it....

I"ll be watching your stuff on github. looks awesome. too bad i don't speak python :S

Hi, your script is great and works brilliantly most of the time, however I have noticed that the script seems to break when the new episode name has a question mark (or one of those of the characters that windows won't allow in a file name). Would it be easy to add a couple of lines to your script to just ignore question marks?

#

Chris: Just edit line 69, ( config['valid_filename_chars'] ) and remove the question-mark character.

Bodaniel: Indeed, we do seem to have similar plans. The moovy application seems interesting - with consistently named files it shouldn't be difficult at all to write a web-interface to organise files, allow it to add new files from a "completed downloads/rips" directory, warn of missing files and such... moovy seems like a good starting point for this, but I have never gotten into Ruby/Rails, although I am reconsidering it with the (somewhat absurd) number of interesting modules/projects that have sprung up around ruby..

#

Great script!

It did exactly what I wanted it to do.

Thank you for your effort.

Can't get it to work properly on Windows:

Could this be extended to move files within a directory structure aswell?

For example something like:

'/home/media/videos/TV/%(seriesname)s/Season-%(epno)02d/%(seriesname)s-E(epno)02d.%(ext)s'

So it would move it to the correct folder as well as renaming the file?

#

I use the command line in Linux allot and as such spaces in my file names are a bit of a pain, as such I added this to your script to allow it to strip spaces from the file names and replace them with underscores.

Thought you might be interested in including it.

-c and --clean where used mostly because the other letters were already used.

<     # Replace spaces with uderscores
<     if opts.cleanspace:
<         newname = newname.replace(" ","_")
<     #end if cleanspace;
<
312,314d306
<     parser.add_option(  "-c", "--clean", action="store_true", default=False, dest="cleanspace",
<                         help="Clean spaces. replace with underscores")

Dude this script is awesome!

Exactly what I was going to do myself, and now, thanks to you, I got additional freetime :)

Thank you very much! :)

#

Since it's been almost a year since this was released, and it haven't been updated with an auto-move feature, I made it myself: Download

Just run tvnamer file -m and it will rename and move the file to the location specified in the top of tvnamer.py

For example if you set the target directory to /TV-Shows/ and run tvnamer House.S05E13.hdtv.random.crap.avi -m the script will create a new folder called House in /TV-Shows/ (if it doesn't already exist) and a subfolder called Season 5(also if it doesn't exist). Then move the file to /TV-Shows/House/Season 5/

Remember to edit tvnamer.py before you run the script.

I have also made some changes to the name format, so it's compatible with XBMC.

#

I searched and searched for something like this, to fit within my workflow.

While it works flawlessly when I do individual files, when I try and apply it to a folder, I get this error - not sure what to do.

File "/usr/local/bin/tvnamer", line 338, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/bin/tvnamer", line 332, in main
    print "# Processing %(file_seriesname)s (season: %(seasno)d, episode %(epno)d)" % (cfile)
TypeError: format requires a mapping

Help!

THANK YOU

#

Works very well on Snow Leopard--thank you!

#

Just a note to say a) thanks! and b) it might be useful to OSX users if the script ignored filenames that begin with '._'

It's only really an issue on non-hfs volumes (I have most of my video on a SMB mounted drobo) but it's pretty irritating when the random resource fork file (the ._show.s02e04.random.avi) gets renamed and the ACTUAL file gets skipped due to duplicate filename!

How difficult would it be to change the formatting?

I like [Show].s??e??.[Episode].avi. It also integrates great in XBMC.

#

Ignore that :).

Although one suggestion. Is there anyway you could move the config to a .tvrenamer file in our home directory that way when we do an update we don't have to fix it manually each time? Thanks.

#

Hi everybody.

This script is awesome!

I have only a question. I'm Italian, so I would like to have episodes names in Italian.

In thetvdb.com there are also in italian. So I need only to change language ID from english to Italian.

Where can I do this in the script if it's possible? Thanks a lot

Please reply to me also by email if you want. Thanks Bye Carlo

#

Thank you for a great script. It would be great if it could do something similar for movies. Thanks in advance.

-A-

Hi

I've noticed your building Tvnamer 2.0 with config files

Firstly I'd like to say a big thanks for looking into wishes of the users above.

Secondly are you intrested in testers for this.

I would be glad to help out with testing

#

I am very interessted in getting the move script working. I have tested the autoPathTv script, but I am not using the same naming standard and I am unable to understand how to change from [01x23] to S01E23 or get the tvnamer.move.mod part of the script.

#

Anyone interested in a GUI application for this kind of job?

Check it out: http://filebot.sourceforge.net

So ... that's why there are so many dead torrents out there ... because of idiots like you who can't bear a file name which does not "look nice" and rename their files, breaking the torrents. I suppose you also move the files in a safe place before renaming, and deleting the torrents. God forbid to continue seeding. Idiot.
