I found using both tools got me better results since some things matched with one and not the other. I have done my whole library at this point using phoenix-renamer and a windows tool called theRenamer.exe. I am not sure how the rename would impact how SageTV tracks what it records.
In basic Sage they would just show up in the import folder because behind the scenes they are just imported recordings. The newly renamed files just show back up your shows listing.
Gemstone allows you to treat imported TV files like they were part of the TV Library. Did not find an example of this anywhere but it looks like it is possible.
The renamer works fine but until you actually move the TV series into its own folder Kodi will not recognize them. This appears to be a great tool for putting my SageTV Library into a Kodi friendly format. I don't suppose anyone has an example of this? cmd is ONLY executed if the initial metadata lookup and rename was successful. In my scenario, I typically use the -cmd arg to call a "move" script that moves my newly renamed file into it's TV series folder. So, using this knowledge you could easily write a batch file that uses that information to once again rename files, create directories, etc. Each Phoenix Metadata variable, such as SeasonNumber or EpisodeNumber is exposed as PHOENIX_SEASONNUMBER and PHOENIX_EPISODENAME, etc. What is important about this, is that the environment for the called script will contain all the metadata for the file that is passed in, as environment variables. The command that is called is passed a single argument which the newly renamed file. Phoenix Renamer supports a -cmd argument that enables you to call another command when the rename is complete. Here's are a couple of Castle and Myth Buster SageTV file names.Ĭastle-AChillGoesThroughHerVeins-3901187-0 Castle is the one I'd really like to figure out why your renamer can't find it. I tried various flavors of the SageTV name but to no avail. If you have the time could you look into two TV shows that did not get renamed? They are Castle and Myth Busters. I still have my HDPVR recording to my Plex TV folder and have set the SageTV options to add Season/Episodes so I don't have to do this - Good to see you're still around. I used this as a one time conversion of my recordings from SageTV to Plex on the Roku.

I've attached a zip of the source code with the.

Used to be free but i think the latest version is not so dont upgrade keep using the old ones. I think the developer is a guy from Taiwan. Imagine doing those one by one manually for 20 different tv shows total 600 files.
drag them all to filebot, and magic! they found the subtitle - if available on internet of course (you can choose english, french, arabic, etc), and rename them all automatically to match the corresponding movie file names above.drag them all to filebot, in just 10 seconds, woalah, it got sorted with correct season number, episode number and episode name, for example Game of Throne (2017) - S01E08 - Meaningless Fight.you download whole episodes of GoT season 1-5 for example, all has weird naming as they come from different sources.it cant insert or delete characters for example, but: This is to FIND and then bulk RENAME your movie tv show anime collections and GET SUBTITLES.
