elsmandino 4 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hello, I was wondering whether you guys might be able to offer some advice on what the best video renaming programs there are out there - there seem to be loads! At the moment, I am recording everything via Argus TV, into a single "Recordings" folder in the following format: Seriesname\Season - Episode - Seriesname - Episodename - Airdate - Airtime Along with each video file is the accompaying XML file, which contains the EPG details - as I use Webgrabplus and TVGuide.co.uk, the EPG details are pretty complete. I was hoping to find a utility to watch the "Recordings" folder and automatically do the following: Automatically work out whether a recording is a "movie" or a "TV program" and move bot the video and XNL file into separate folders named either "movies" or "TV programs". Rename both the video and XML file in the following format: Seriesname (Productiondate)\Season - Episode - Seriesname (Productiondate) - Episodename utilising no only the file name itself, for identification, but also the XML file. Ultimately, I am after the best possible way of ensuring that Emby picks up all of my recordings and scrapes them correctly. Ay suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Media Center Master does a good job of renaming directories and episodes. I've used it in the past when I was first getting started. I don't know if it will read your EPG though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3744 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think that auto organize in the emby server will take care of your tv show. But movies would have to be manually moved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navanod 12 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 For renaming and moving to the correct folder I use Sonarr for TV and CouchPotato for movies. I suppose you could turn off the downloading and just use the renaming and moving functionality (?). Both do the job really well, and allow for renaming rules to be customised. Everything else is taken care of by FileBot - +1 from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxtonia 46 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I also use couch potato for movies renaming - works well plus you can set it download HD trailer video as part of the process - I still use sickbeard for tv but am trying to move to sonarr....

spootdev 56 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 +1 for Filebot. It saved me tons of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan 183 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I still use MCM since I've been using it for so many years and too lazy to learn another interface. Would really like to ditch it and have EMBY do this for me but it's been a while since auto organize was first implemented without much further development so don't know if this is planned to happen anymore still at this point...?

writersblock73 13 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 My go-to program is called The Renamer. http://www.therenamer.com/ With this program, you can see what it's going to attempt to rename everything before you commit to it, and you can manually enter the code from the TV Database (http://thetvdb.com/) or Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com/) if the program has guessed wrong.

thefirstofthe300 291 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Another plus one for filebot. Amazingly powerful utility. Still blows my mind what it can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
