As seen in above page, can we please have some renaming options for multiepisodes?
Sickbeard renames my multi episodes as - Season 2/Show Name - 2x03x04x05 - Ep Name.ext (anything.1x01x02.ext from the wiki above ). This is the only area where Sickbeard and TMM dont match. Otherwise rest episodes are identified by both of them nicely.

One more observation. Subtitles are never identified if they are added after episode is scraped. Updating show, clearing cache doesn't help.

for multi episode files (pain in the ass to implement that!), all episode specific renamer tokens (like ep number, title, ..) are repeated for every episode.
So looking at the wiki:

anything_s01e01_s01e02.ext
anything.s01e01.episode1.title.s01e02.episode2.title.ext
anything.s01e01.s01e02.s01e03.ext
anything.1x01_1x02.ext
anything.ep01.ep02.ext
anything.ep01_02.ext

will work (theoretically - haven't checked all exactly), but

anything.s01e01e02.ext
anything.s01e01-02-03.ext
anything.1x01x02.ext

will definitely don't work.

renaming for TV shows (along with support for multi episodes files and multi file episodes...) is extremely complex, and I won't add there more complexity from options, which are not absolutely needed. Aren't there any other renaming options in sickbeard?

Following patterns are allowed in SickRage

Season 2/Show Name - 2x03 - 2x04 - 2x05 - Ep Name.ext
Season 2/Show Name - 2x03-04-05 - Ep Name.ext
Season 2/Show Name - 2x03-05 - Ep Name.ext
Season 2/Show Name - 2x03-E05 - Ep Name.ext
Season 2/Show Name - 2x03x04x05 - Ep Name.ext
Season 2/Show Name - 2x03 - x04 - x05 - Ep Name.ext

None of these is possible atm right? I will try asking on their github if it's possible for them to add any. Just want consistency across both. Thanks for explaining

In Sickbeard you can define exactly how you want your episodes to be named. Just set it to match what TMM and/or Kodi want! Look For the Naming section under Post Processing in SickBeard's settings.

"Season 1\s01e01e02.ext " is how I have SickBeard set up for multiple episodes, and it works just fine.

AAh I thought only single episodes can be renamed like that but looks like multi episodes can be renamed using patterns too. I will play around a lil.. Thanks

this should be import-able by tmm, but not possible for renaming in tmm

Season 2/Show Name - 2x03 - 2x04 - 2x05 - Ep Name.ext

this should be (more or less) doable in tmm (the problem is, that episode tokens are repeated for every episode so something like

Code:

Season 2/Show Name - 2x03 - Ep Name1 - 2x04 - Ep Name2 - 2x05 - Ep Name3.ext

will be the result. You cannot be sure that all 3 episodes will have the _same_ episode title..

Yep.. SickRage groups episode number together followed by episode titles grouped together.. And I dont like naming episodes without titles. Thanks for the info.

okay, grouping of episode tokens (for multi ep files) might be an idea. will have a look how to implement that

Cool.. Here is an example -
Once Upon a Time - 3x21x22 - Snow Drifts & There's No Place Like Home Diff titles..
Once Upon a Time - 4x22x23 - Operation Mongoose If it's part 1, part 2

I've had a look at it and admit to say that's rather a heavy change - there are so many things to consider since the user is able to choose the pattern for the renamer freely..

Problems I see so far (in your example):

a) Season token should not be repeated
b) Season and episode tokens should be grouped together
c) Title should be grouped together (and more, if the EPs something like Pilot (1) and Pilot(2) we shouldn't repeat the title :/ )

this is too hot for a last minute change; I will put it to our ToDo list and discuss/brainstorm together with Myron when he's back

No problem. Something to consider down the road. Thanks for looking into it.
