When I use the renaming function to rename existing shows that were named in SB, only the video and no files are renamed. Thanks for any help. Files that Sonarr understands to be metadata files, such as filename. They were named by Sickrage and have a different naming convention to Sonarr. When I rename the episode with Sonarr, only the video file is renamed. How do I get it to rename the nfo and all jpg files as well? After a series is imported or refreshed Sonarr will rescan those files and will rename them when the file is renamed.
Do you have a concrete example? Filebot is designed primarily for TV shows and movies, though it works with anime as well. However, Shoko Anime is a file management tool that is designed only for anime. It compares file names against the centralized AniDB database to look up the correct file names for your anime.
It hashes each file in your library and compares it to what it can find in the AniDB database. This allows it to pull data from the database and populate your library with information about each anime file, including series information, characters, and related series. It also helps you manage your anime files.
For example, it can help you find missing anime files or remove duplicate anime files that are clogging your media library. Advanced Renamer is a tool that allows you to configure renaming methods to automatically rename multiple files at once. There are 14 different methods that you can use to change names, attributes, and more.
If you are looking for an alternative to Filebot that goes beyond TV, movies, and anime, Advanced Renamer is a good tool to use. It allows you to configure the tool to rename any kind of file — for example, it is great for renaming all of your photos and generating thumbnails for them.
Advanced Renamer is available in several languages. You can use it for free, unlike Filebot; it is free for both individuals and businesses, but you can purchase a license later if you want to support the project though this is not required. There is also an active support forum where you can discuss the tool and get help from other users.
The best part about Tiny Media Manager is that you can download and use almost all of it for free, which makes it a great alternative to Filebot. However, there are some limitations to the free version, such as a limit of 50 movies for the scraper. If you use Kodi, you can use MediaElch as an alternative to Filebot. It is a media manager and a renaming tool. In addition to TV shows and media, MediaElch supports music and concerts, making it a great alternative to Filebot if that is what you want to focus on.
If you have a music collection, MediaElch can scrape data about your music files. You can also scrape music art from Fan Art TV. In addition to renaming the files in your directory, you can export all your data in HTML format. It is a good alternative to Filebot if you want to rename files that are not necessarily films, and you have an old operating system, such as Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, , XP, and Vista.
It is old and has not been updated for several years, so you may experience bugs and issues; but for older operating systems like Windows 95 and 98 which are ancient!
This software is available on Github. Sonarr is a bit different from Filebot; it is not really a renaming tool. Instead, it is best for you if you torrent and want to keep your series organized and up to date.
Sonarr will automatically track your favorite shows and download the newest episodes. You will see your upcoming releases in your calendar and, if you want, can manually search for missing episodes.

Avira Antivirus Crypto Miner. Thanks for this resource. Oh wow, that sure is an issue. I have not seen this happen before. Do you know what the DPi settings of your screen are? Would you be willing to do a few tests I could email you directly? I took a part of your screenshot and glued it into you message for future reference, I hope that is OK with you.
I apologize for not quite understanding what you mean. I suspect you may be referring to the so called metadata of an episode — VLC may use that to show the title, which if this is the case is not necessarily the same as the filename. In the metadata, one could also store cover art commonly doen with for example music files.
However, RMTV at this time does not support adding or modifying meta data. Please let me know if I understood your question correctly.
Yes your correct maybe I can stop the vlc media player from showing title and just show the file name instead. That way it will match each episode that plays.
For macOS: p. Now the filename will appear instead of the meta data. It would be really cool if we could update metadata too! Just the title would be enough for me :.
In essence the file needs to be ripped apart and rebuild from scratch with the update or new meta data added. OK, I did some quick testing with ffmpeg, just changing the metadata title for a few video files tested mkv, avi and mp4 and these are the findings. Since most probably have p or better for their files, renaming a lot of files can be quite a long process which may or may not be acceptable. Suggestions, comments, and alternatives are most welcome ….
The beta release has it build-in. Thank you very much for the offer. Thanks for the amazing software. No more manually renaming tv shows. Added the amazon affiliate link. Running windows Testing it here I do have an UltraWide Screen , things work fine. What is the resolution of your screen maybe I can test it in a virtual machine? Pics below. Thanks Lance for posting the pictures. There seems to be a scaling issue for some Windows users text in the buttons can become tiny , but I have not been able to reproduce the issue on my Virtual Machines VMWare Fusion.
It would be possible to do it with this program? If not, can you maybe make an option for that? For example TwilightZone and X-Files, but there may be more. I think I did a good job, but some folks always know better. So if this is the last episode, add the preferred text at the location where the user indicated.
As for open source; I will reevaluate my position in the future — not sure how many people actually work with Lazarus Pascal, but I can see an advantage to sharing code to add more powerful features. Maybe one day … unfortunately, some people can be quite rude — but I agree that it most certainly is not the majority. I used delphi and Borland Pascal while I was at school! I knew that they where still in use, even if not popular, but I never found any app that use it.
When Lazarus became available, I started working with that. The Voice : La plus belle voix in French. The RmTVs listing ends at s08e09, while the tvdb listing, currently at s08e13 goes all the way to s08e From Rename my TV 2. On tvdb page, when looking at complete season 8 ee16 , I noticed the English button was blue, I hit Francais button and there was s08 ee09 with blank spaces for ee Overall, its not bad tvdb , but as with any large database that is user-operated, I guess errors and inconsistencies are to be expected.
Maybe I should do the same for tvdb. But even that seems a lot more straightforward to achieve on themoviedb than the mayhem universe of tvdb. It all seemed off-topic! I managed to find the solution. I had many like this. Thanks for the tip! Can you please upload a copy that can be extracted, thanks. Are you sure you have the right download? Is there any chance you can add different scraping options? As an ex contributor to their site I used to supply TV series info, episodes, etc. Yet they refuse to adjust the listings.
Thanks for your consideration. However, it is fast becoming an obsolete option, for the above reason. I want to add TVMaze as a source, which will take some work to implement, but it seems more reliable. Can we get tvmaze support plz. Hi Gourab! Did you test the beta yet? I just have to write an update on the instructions, which will be a ton of work. Have a question though, when I type in the search box for the show, the characters get duplicated i.
If I run it as Administrator, no issues at all. Unfortunately, I have no explanation for it. Obviously not running as root.
Works fine on my end. Could there be something else running on your machine that may trigger this? In this old post folks are talking about bounce keys. Not sure if it will help, but worth a try I never even knew this existed. Mine is also the only account, and as I stated this only happens with this app. I did try your suggestion, but it made no difference.
In fact it made it a pain typing in other apps. I guess it was worth a shot. But I highly doubt it. I assume you use the regular US keyboard layout. Can you test with a second account, without any apps installed, and see what that does? Another thing I have seen in the past is the video driver being an issue — I think it may have been nVidia cards related, but it could also have been AMD cards.
I have been using the windows version under wine, which works alright and tried installing it again and checking to see if the problem still exists, and it does. I do see that a lot of applications seem to be affected by it.
Seemingly because pressing a key is processed twice on key down and on key up — so it would suggest a needed update for the file causing this issue could be XLib, could be the Kernel, or another library for that matter.
In this AskUbuntu topic , I did see a crummy trick that may or may not fix this, by tinkering with autorepeat;. This makes it very difficult to see if I can add a fix or work around. Thanks, but tried them to no effect. I did install Rename on my laptop with the same version of Mint and kernel and it works fine, so it appears to be specific to my machine. I do recall, from a few years back, that certain video drivers cause unwanted effects, specifically a driver from nVidia for Linux.
This goes a little beyond my Linux experience though. As if there is a ghost window. Hi BlaBla. I suspect these are 2 season, but I could be wrong. Your VPN should not matter in this case. RMTV downloads all season and episode information in one go.
So, the order should not be affected by that. Files are MKV by the way. MKV files are supported by ffProbe, so that should not be a problem either. As you can see the format works for the episodes added but not the files. Having images disappear after a day is indeed weird haha — I would not have expected that either. You can test the output from the command-line, if I recall correctly:.
Where yourvideo. I will be back home next week though. Cool — thanks for the ffProbe output. I do have a query…. How do I merge 3 episodes? I recently got a show from my childhood it had 3 episodes per file…. I will add this as a feature request to my To-Do list, and will see if this is an relatively easy option to add. This very useful software would be even more useful if 3 episodes could be merged :.
Yes, this has been implemented a few months ago in the beta version — give it a try. Note: Since the beta comes with a ton of new functions, I have not created it as a release version yet — kind-a waiting for users to come back with issues. Additionally, the new functions require me to write some more on how to use RMTV, for which I have not had time yet.
Also, I went to settings to check if there is a setting regarding multiple episodes I could not find any , and I realised that I can not delete items from the TV shows history. I clicked a TV shows, clicked on Remove selected and nothing happened. No matter if I select one, or multiple with Ctrl. Awesome, and apologies for the lack of more instructions on how to use the beta — enjoy!
I have seen that one other person has a problem with deleting items from the TV shows history. Is it a known issue or is it just me doing something wrong?
Yeah, sorry, the other comment was about autodetect history. Nothing happens. I do not know if this worked for me in the latest release version, because this is the first time I tried it — in the beta.
I just tested it with MacOS and this works as expected. Strangely enough not under MacOS or Linux. I found the issue.
The widgetset under Windows is not identifying a selected row as such. Thanks for the quick confirmation! Of course, donation is not required, other ways are sharing the link on social media and shopping at Amazon. It will be available in the next version — good catch. After enabling ffprobe, it worked correctly. Note: ffProbe is default disabled since most users do not use this option and ffprobe does slow down things significantly. Sorting; another user reported an issue there as well.
I have not yet found tricky ones, although I do know they exist. Thanks for reporting this though! Maybe you can copy that code into V2. For example: I do nothing with Anime. In the next release the drag and drop issue will be resolved though — sorting using the current sorting method now works there as well. Every once in a while i may have to move an OVA or special, but most of the time i see them ahead of time and just do them in a separate batch.
They get added in a random order and i have to manually click the sort button. Sounds like you are already aware of this issue though. I know it was there in 1. I only remember because disabling it used to make the problem disappear. One other small thing: for some reason after a while the search button seems to stop functioning upon mouseclick. However, pressing the return key on the keyboard will still function properly.
I used to have some scaling issues on windows when 2. Had to change system scaling as a temp fix, but i think you already fixed this. One more thing: i have to open the folder that contains the executable and then launch the software from within the folder. Maybe a problem with the way the path to ffprobe is defined?
Or maybe the global setting is causing conflicts for the software. Thanks again for the good work. I have zero experience with anime. I did find the sorting bug and in the next version sorting should work properly when doing drag and drop. I suspect ffmpeg can do something like that, but I honestly never used it. It would slow down things significantly. Way back I had an idea to add the episode info to the metadata, but abandoned that idea real quick.
Removing them would make the file no longer playable with any media player. Thanks for letting me know about the search button. But those buttons have a significant drawback. Regular button have special properties for accessibility for example for folks with no or poor eyesight, that use screen readers , the custom buttons do not have such properties. So for blind people these custom buttons remain invisible.
So they would all be standing alone, which would make things look pretty bad. Excellent feedback on the ffProbe issue! Are you running Windows or Linux? Since the development tools I use are always being further developed, one or the other function may have picked up a bug. Like this one not finding the path of the executable.
So thank you for a very good overview! When using the arrow key to navigate a long TV Show dropdown list, when reaching the top the list it cycles to the other end of the list, however, when using the mouse on the top arrow the list does not cycle to the other end. Cycling to the end is a very convenient way to get to the end of a very long list.
It should cycle the same way using the mouse as it does using the arrow key. Interesting catch! I do have to warn you though that this is most likely defined by the widgetset controls either defined by Lazarus Pascal or by the OS.
Thanks No Problem! First off thank you for this great piece of software! I have been using it for a few months now and absolutely love and appreciate your hard work! I have found some strange issue within the last couple weeks though. Sometimes, randomly, it will name one of the files in a list of other files of the same season or just a solo episode but will change the file type to nothing, leaving it unreadable by windows or any players. I have tried adding the file extension back to the name but that does not seem to work either.
I have confirmed that the file works before the rename but will not afterwards. I am running 64bit windows 10 build This only happens once in a while and seems very random. Thanks again for your help and this fantastic software! Since adding the extension does seem to work, this may or may not be related to that. Yeah, the file extensions are not hidden. The files are zero bytes after the issue and have no properties. It is a strange issue indeed. I have just last night updated to windows 10 v and installed the new.
Net Framework that came along with that update so I can report back here if the problem persists on this windows version. I have not found any random files on my system though, and I am not sure where I would need to look for them either. However it would be nice to find out how I can reproduce this, so I can debug. I would be more than happy to email you a screenshot of my settings and I can even send you the file that it renamed if that would help as well.
Where can I find your email address? Thanks again for all the help! One thing that comes to mind is: having thumbnails enabled — not sure if this still is an issue at times under windows. The old version of the renamer stopped working a couple days ago giving me errors in the application code.
Not sure what happened. In the original application I can drop a bunch of random tv show episodes then search for them and add them as I go. Now, with this version, I put my episodes in, then I search for the first one and it clears the entire list. Try to add a second one then it freezes. Literally every time. It just throws and error and freaks out. The original version was simpler and better, way more streamlined. You need to go back to that. The old version, since TVDB moved on to the new API, would need a complete rebuild, and at the moment I simply do not have the time available to do this.
Now you can drop a mix of files on it, select different shows and assign episodes, without the list being cleared. Arch Linux is very lightweight, or not. Also if you remove a rule, then the 11th rule will appear if there is any. It seams that the extra rules exist but they are not visible.
If you have a mouse with a mouse-wheel, then you should be able to scroll through the list with that. You can also increase the height of the window the list should resize then as well, showing more rows.
The reason for this is that I have not found a clean cross-platform solution to show a scrollbar. I can enable the default scrollbar, however it would add an ugly white space next to the grid if not used. Hi Hans! Thank you for your quick response! So I tried it, but I have the same problem.
It goes until 10th row. I have it on full screen so it has a lot of space to show me about 30 rows. When I add the rows, everything looks fine!
It shows all the rows without a problem even if I have more than 30 rows, a scrollbar appears on the right and I can go up and down. The problem as I mentioned is when I close the settings windows. Then if I reopen it, it will show me only the first However, it has space to show me more.
I also tried this in my laptop smaller screen and the problem exists in there too! And I have found the bug. Appear to be related to SQL picking up 10 rows per packetsize run, and I forgot to set this to limitless. Good find!! Great, I tried it and it works like a charm! Thank you! Ok, so in Title Case, the first and the last word are always capitalized. The articles, conjunctions, and prepositions are in lowercase.
The other words are capitalized. There are some converters online to test this. Also, see here for more info. The same for the others. Interesting, even though it makes sense, I had not heard of this before. Italian, German, Dutch, Chinese, etc. Too bad though, I do like the idea.
Thanks though for teaching me something new today. Hi Hans, Yeah this sounds like a lot of work to implement that. Thanks for your interest though! Version 2. Thanks for catching that and reporting it! I had not noticed this. I tested the local copy and the one worked just fine — just now I tested a downloaded version and see that there indeed is a problem.
It seems like it has two program open at the same. On what other projects are you working? I forgot to add! MacOS 2. Will it also be implemented in this new version? I think is very useful to modify a csv file. I just gave it a try. Season 4 however worked just fine when I tried a minute ago.
