The last couple days I have been reading a lot about setting up automagic TV Episodes for use with XBMC.
Unfortunately, most of what I read (that I could understand
) was from several years ago. So I wanted to detail what I have done and see if there are any current ways to do it better..
First off, I gleaned that one doesn't have to use TED anymore because uTorrent can do what TED did via RSS feeds.. Got uTorrent set up for RSS and it's working..
I also got ahold of TheRenamer and it works pretty good, but I need something a little different.. What TheRenamer does is pull all the LOL/HDTV/x264 stuff out of the title, looks up the episode title and then uses the convention ShowName.S0XE0X.EpisodeTitle... My setup uses ShowName as a directory and sometimes even a Season# directory as well. I have a 4TB HD that is more than 3/4ths full of TV shows. Imagine the mess if all TV shows were in the root directory. So what I am hoping is that TheRenamer (or some other program) can be tweaked to change the normal naming convention (ShowName.S0XE0X.EpisodeTitle) to a custom one... Say, D:\TV\ShowName\Season0x\E0x-EpisodeTitle.xxx or D:\TV\ShowName\S0xE0x-EpisodeName.xxx
Once all that is done, the only question is how to invoke all of this automagically...
Any hints/tips/suggestions would be most appreciated...
