Oh, I keep TV episodes in the following format: "Show Name - Episode Name.avi"Īnd if no episode name can be found: "Show Name - " tvnamer -b Īnd it will rename the file to "Scrubs - My Journey.avi" Say you(r friend) has a file named "", you could manually rename it, go to tv.com, search for the correct show, find the right season, look for the name of episode two, copy the name and paste it into the filename. Long story short, I rewrote it in Python. I was using a modified version of this script until recently - it worked fine, but used an old version of the TVDB API, and had a many other flaws. avi files in the current folder though, grabbed the episode name and renamed the file using this data. I emailed the creator of the site (Scott Zsori) who kindly sent back a Perl script that ran all. Then, one day I discovered - "an open-directory of television shows for HTPC software". This got tedious very quickly, and was very error prone. I initially manually renamed the downloads, going to Wikipedia or TV.com to get episode names. All very efficient, but they are hardly very nice to look at. I understand why the files are named along the lines of .xvid-grp.avi - it describes the showname, what episode, what source it came from, the format, and group that captured/released it. I'm sure you will have noticed the filenames are rather horrible. I'm going to go out my way and assume you have downloaded a TV episode at some point.
