Automatically Rename TV Episode Videos With TVnamer

TVnamer is a python command-line application that allows you to easily rename TV show episodes into something more descriptive by using data from thetvdb.com.

Here is a comparison between filenames before and after the modification:

#Before

SERIESNAME.S01E12.EPISODETITLE.avi

#After

SERIES NAME - [01x12] - EPISODE TITLE.avi

Installation:

You can easily install TVnamer using easy_install:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install tvnamer

Examples:

To rename an episode called HouseMD.S02E10.avi, simply enter the following command into a terminal:

cd PATH_TO_EPISODE
tvnamer HouseMD.S02E10.avi

To rename a full directory, use the following command:

tvnamer /PATH/TO/DIR
