Identify the series (tv show). Collect the number from file and rename to a template format. If not find the number than can say the regex for the folder. Expample: Regex: (.*)(\d*)\.(a-z)*) Input: X\X-TV.Serie.-.Ep08.mkv Output: X\X-Tv Serie - S01E08 - GEMINI.mkv sug_sjqpbdqxrnzim7r 2025-03-17T18:54:55Z 2025-03-17T18:54:55Z Like. {ShowName:O}/{ShowName:EN} - S{Season:2}E{Episode}[-E{Episode2}] - {EpisodeName:O}/ {EpisodeName:EN} (O: Original, EN:English) sug_fvqp5tdg1tbjdwj 2024-12-07T11:07:31Z 2024-12-07T11:07:31Z Needs to be a simple way to undo operations. sug_oxvi23xqcll4wem 2024-10-21T11:29:11Z 2024-10-21T11:29:11Z With the option of "season search terms" under "scan settings" we can add additional (foreign) words it checks for the detection if the series folder structure is "flat" or "folder per season". But it still only applies if the season number is at the end. Suggestion: Please add the option or ability for it to check/ignore if the season number is in another place than last. Currently it can only detect "folder per season" if the structure is: Season XX or any other word followed by numbers Suggestion for it to also detect: 1. Season sug_zngrhl4e7dox9qf 2024-09-29T01:31:26Z 2024-09-29T01:31:26Z There is an option to add a system tray icon that appears to be mostly useless. You can click on it to get a list of air dates, but I would much rather get the application window off my screen if I'm not using it. sug_dg95zdespq546o2 2024-09-09T12:12:51Z 2024-09-09T12:12:51Z Status quo: Search of files is often confused by technical information which is part of the source filename, e.g. format, quality, recording date, tv station etc., especially when only the episode name is available but no episode number. Example source file: Arrow (2012)\Season 02\Arrow - Auferstanden (2021-03-04 22-00.ZDF.576).mp4 So the usual possible way to deal with this is, to remove these parts using a special regexp in filename processor and then rely on the episode-name-based renaming. Example: Season (?<s>[0-9]+)\\.*(?<y>\(.*\)) Effect is a clean rename in most cases - but as well loss of information. Enhancement proposal: In addition to "s" and "e" allow some user specific regexp groups in filename processor, like e.g. "(?<y>\(.*\))" and add the option to refer to these group identifiest in the naming templates, e.g. like "{y}". Option: It might be helpful to add an <n> for the explicit reference to {EpisodeName} as well. sug_2wsvahy7fd4x9xf 2024-08-17T09:27:16Z 2024-08-17T09:27:15Z Allow selection of multiple movies (or TV shows) with ctrl and/or shift, and give rightclicking the selection a truncated menu Primary reason would be to delete multiple movies/shows at once instead of having to rightclick every one seperately sug_3z1hklez2grwgmc 2024-08-07T09:30:37Z 2024-08-07T09:30:36Z A simple section to add notes about shows, for example, I have a video that is in japanese, and I need subtitles but I haven't gotten around to finding them yet. A notation in the app would allow me to keep track off this, just a simple note taking section or a more developed thing that allows you to attach a show to the note. sug_qig4lf3nubgr8bx 2024-02-21T20:27:47Z 2024-02-21T20:27:47Z The "Offline Operation" menu option is somewhat inconspicuous, if activated inadvertently it leaves the user with a completely unresponsive scan tab. What I would expect is a reminder that "Offline Operation" is enabled whenever the user tries to run an operation that can not be run in offline mode. Or maybe make all buttons corresponding to deactivated functionality greyed out and have a tooltip telling the user why. See https://github.com/TV-Rename/tvrename/issues/1001 sug_bsc1zx1wf8lqa3w 2024-02-13T12:50:27Z 2024-02-13T12:50:26Z Some series have alternate orders available in TVDB and while users can already select "DVD Order" and "Alternate Order" in the settings, there is no control over which order is actually used and in some cases more than one alternate order exists. E.g. Captain Future (ID 79033) has multiple orders, one of which matches a recut version available in Germany, which is not compatible with the Airde or DVD Order. It would be nice to be able to select the alternate order that should actually be used. sug_9whsuiobrwr5aem 2024-02-06T23:04:13Z 2024-02-06T23:04:13Z When "Update episodes when higher quality ones are found" is ticked, and you scan One (1) series, it scans all series in your library. This can be cumbersome and a long process. If I scan 1 series and wish to work with that, I don't want to work on another 100. What could take a minute to do, becomes a process that can take 30 minutes or longer, with results that I have not interest or time to work with in that moment. If I wanted to do the others, I would have added the other series in the scan. Thank you for considering. sug_kco9lsq0b38tkrv 2023-12-16T22:08:06Z 2023-12-16T22:08:06Z Hi Team, Wondering if its possible to make the scan progress and file transfer background processes so you are still able to interact with the main application. ive been using this program for well over 10 years and i do remember a time (unsure of version) where i could still double click missing and it would open the browser, so there was still some form of interaction with main window. This appears to have disappeared in later versions. Now, for me anyway, im unable to use the applicaion if a scan is in process or its transferring files. sug_2royhx5xx92fynn 2023-09-12T14:10:40Z 2023-09-12T14:10:40Z Hello my suggestion is as follows could you add translations to the program such as a French translation of the program if it is already possible to translate the program into French or in the other language please let me know because I did some research and couldn't find anything sug_sgbzdbc89u91xn0 2023-08-23T23:22:08Z 2023-08-23T23:22:08Z It would be handy if one could save/export the TV Show Summery window to for instance a HTML file òr any other filetype, as long as the text is editable. sug_24id5cvforzzaql 2023-08-09T08:42:17Z 2023-08-09T08:42:17Z On the Scheduled Page currently the right click menu (on a particular "show") has the options to "IGNORE SEASSION X" -- it would be great to have an additional option just to Ignore the specific episode concerned - also add this option to the Edit Show Dialogue too. The rational behind this is that sometimes Episode have already been watched elsewhere and hence do not need to be shown as "missing" in schedule. sug_efk5alaarnrufgg 2023-07-27T12:34:19Z 2023-08-02T00:04:37Z Make an option that will prevent renaming files that are already in the library. It is quite often that files renamed by TVR are processed again because of some changes in the data sources. Each such change is corrupting Kodi's watched list. sug_dkieowlt6avwddm 2023-07-06T15:32:19Z 2023-08-02T00:04:45Z Currently File->Export (Ctrl-E) creates a file or files including every single movie (in Movies) and every single TV Show (in TVShows). The Movies and TVShows views allow a Filter to be applied to restrict the movies/shows listed. It would be neat if this filter could be applied to the movies/shows included in Export. sug_tpdowcgef558c3k 2023-06-11T15:25:28Z 2023-06-11T15:25:28Z While similar to the "season complete" indicator, I believe this is different enough to warrant consideration. When a show is marked "ended" and contains all shows not "ignored", prompt to remove it from the search and scan, or from TV Rename all together, as nothing further is needed. I've found numerous times that I've had to recreate my database and when it scans all of the shows in the directory there are many that are already complete and no longer need the functionality of the program. sug_vguljjxmvr4jyqq 2023-06-03T21:51:52Z 2023-06-03T21:51:52Z sug_ilw4juquuuqqscl 2023-05-31T09:49:33Z 2023-05-31T09:49:33Z Feature: The ability to be able to see what format my media is. Reason: I use a different program for Movies, I could use it for tv shows too but I prefer to use tvrename for many reasons. The other program gives a nice table showing 2 columns that I find hugely useful, which are Resolution (Format) and Bit-rate. The thing is I've been collecting my tv shows for a long long time and back then I would have a lot of (for example) 360p @ 923 bitrate, or 480p @ 1025 bitrate. I would like to replace them with 720p or 1080 and above. So having these values would help me to locate them and update them. Where: Its up to you but I just had a look and maybe, when you click on a show, then there are tabs, The Summary tab might be ideal? As you have a table there already. There is other data you could include, like, Codec, the year, the imdb rating, if has subtitles? etc Also I just sent you guys a tip because your software is fantastic. sug_xldngvrxasanso7 2023-05-19T10:56:14Z 2023-05-19T10:56:14Z I love your software, it make my day everydays. May I suggest you a functionnality to help us more and more : should it be possible to add an indicator for the "complete season" ? Someone would binge watch a whole season and wait untill it's all downloaded. An indicator to see this status would be nice to quickly check when it's done. Thanks anyway for TV Rename, keep this good work. Best regards. sug_xmjfb4qitlcmivn 2023-04-01T22:48:05Z 2023-04-01T22:48:05Z Everything is on the title sug_d8kyubcudb407el 2023-03-31T16:39:48Z 2023-03-31T16:39:48Z Add for each episode/movie a flag which can be manually set and which indicates whether you have already watched it or not. Could for example be on the summary page next to Status: On disk. Allow colorization by this status (same as e.g. show ended,...) and/or show how many episodes in a show you have already seen (5/8) in the show list. sug_txm04xpqjhe5eon 2023-02-28T18:27:18Z 2023-03-03T14:52:42Z I would only like to see the current or upcoming season when running scans. Is it possible to set all previous seasons as ignore. I can always go back and remove from ignore if I want a previous season. Thank you sug_jhz4og3kiyej8la 2022-12-23T16:10:22Z 2023-03-03T14:37:52Z Since you have to see the main scan window to approve a rename it would be very useful to have a quick rename box on the page that doesn't need to be opened every time you want to use it. The ideal location for me would be at the bottom left under schedule or to drop in on the scan window. sug_nk878vr11eyzglb 2022-12-16T17:41:25Z 2023-03-03T14:36:48Z Can it be possible to add a color filter by movie genre ? sug_ixkgnbchrhl5w6j 2022-10-31T15:52:43Z 2023-03-03T14:28:55Z I think the search results could be sorted out to make it easier to find the desired tv series especially if the search returns a long list of potential matches. I was thinking maybe show the exact match First then show the rest Alphabetically or just sort all of them alphabetically. Either way that would make finding the desired show a bit easier and organized. Thanks. sug_ishgare7hz2xrwv 2022-09-26T11:23:12Z 2023-03-03T14:22:44Z Add the "Force Refresh" to the episode right-click context menu in scan results. Not a good workflow to scan in Scan area, navigate away from inaccurate scan results, go to the TV Show area, find show in question, right-clicking it to force refresh, and then go back to Scan area again to run the second scan for updated results. sug_n4fnyfgxy4ix1eo 2022-08-22T13:22:26Z 2023-03-03T14:14:51Z I love your program but the most annoying aspect is the way that all dates are in MM/DD/YYYY format. It should be possible for the user to specify a date format to make dates more readable to users in every part of the world that isn't the USA. Thanks for your consideration! sug_875ps4negsean6k 2022-08-09T12:20:33Z 2023-03-03T14:12:29Z
