can't wait for movie support

I think this would be best done as a separate script, as I'd like to keep tvnamer relatively simple. I wrote a Python interface for themoviedb, which should make this fairly trivial, but usually renaming films is easy to do manually.

I'm not too sure about adding XBMC support either - again I'd rather keep it simple.

I've made a ticket for this, http://dbr.lighthouseapp.com/projects/36049-tvnamer/tickets/46-output-xbmc-metadata - but again, I'm not too sure about it..

I'd recommend looking at http://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard - it will output XML metadata files (it uses tvnamer's internals to parse the files), and automatically grabs fan-art, series banner, series info etc (as well as automatically grabbing torrents/nzb files and lots more)

Please make a param for outputting an xbmc-compatible xml mit all the relevant information already grabbed from the tvdb ans save it under the same name as the tvshow.mkv

That would be soo cool

Just found this TVRenamer and it sounds slick, can it be set to use SxxExx format in the renamed file instead of xxXxx format?

Yes, you can customise the output name's format quite easily. Check the "Custom output filenames" section of the readme on http://github.com/dbr/tvnamer/

And does it work with shows that where the filenames don't have Season and Episode numbers, say something like: Travel.Channel.Chef.Abroad.Holiday.Traditions.Greece.PDTV.XviD-NANO

No. There's no reliable way to parse such filenames (in a generic enough manner), it only works if it can find a series/episode number. You could use tvdb_api and a custom script to rename such files, assuming they are on thetvdb.com

And does it work with shows that where the filenames don't have Season and Episode numbers, say something like: Travel.Channel.Chef.Abroad.Holiday.Traditions.Greece.PDTV.XviD-NANO (I am wondering if it would convert that Travel Channel show to a name that does include Season and Episode information.)

Thanks.

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

-A-

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

Thank you very much! :)

Thought you might be interested in including it.

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

224,228d223
<     # 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")
<

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?

It did exactly what I wanted it to do.

Thank you for your effort.

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..

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
