tvshow_renamer is a simple command line utility to rename automagically the tv show files you downloaded to a good format.

Thanks to skamlet for his work on tv-show-renamer, the java utility upon which I have based my work.

Example

Files like these ones:

• FamousShow.S05E01.DVDRip.XviD-BLAH.avi
• FamousShow.S05E02.DVDRip.XviD-BLAH.avi

Will be renamed like this:

• FamousShow - 05x01.avi
• FamousShow - 05x02.avi

Installation

gem install tvshow_renamer

Usage

tvshow_renamer [options] file|directory ...

You can specify many files to rename.

Options

• -n TVSHOW_NAME or --name TVSHOW_NAME
  This option defines the TV show name used to rename the files. If the option is not present, the name will be asked first.

• -f FORMAT or --format FORMAT
  This option defines the format for the new filenames.
  $n will be substitued by the TV show name, $s by the season number, $e by the episode number.
  The default format is : $n - $sx$e.

• -l FILENAME or --log FILENAME
  This option makes the utility create a file inside the same directory as the renamed files containing the old and new names of the files. It can be useful to keep the episode or version names.

• -r or --recursive If any directory is passed as parameter, this option makes the utility look recursively inside directories for files to rename.
