Before the logos get way to big and reach the 1000's. It'll be good to standardize them. Right now it shows we have 854 logos. Though some are alternates and some are by mistake like logo453.png, So I'd say there are around 750 unique shows...
I'd like to have a standardized naming convention for easier transition to the TVdb and for ppic to create a script in the meantime for people to easily download them.
There are 27, a-z plus #'s, slots... so however many people we get I'll assign a group of letters for that person to rename. So if 13 people sign-up the everyone gets 2 letters, etc...Probably 2x check quality also if enough people sign up.
We'll let this sign up go to maybe end of day Friday...May 28th 2010. Then proceed from there.

I'll help, but isn't this a little pre-emptive? I mean, assuming support is added at TVDB, wouldn't we just upload them there and szori's backend renames them how it needs them anyway. We could end up having to look up each show twice, unless he'll be able to take the output of this project and batch import everything into his database directly...?

Already asked him, he said a naming convention like stated above will work great for him. With a naming convention with the "tvdb id" in it, he can just write some type of mass importer script to collect them...

yes that's true, it would be easier to integrate after that.

Imho it just makes sense to eliminate such characters from the filenames, why over-complicate this?

the only important thing is the tvdbid, with it, we've access to other needed infos, it must be there so we can regexp it.

Come on guys?
I only have:
Me
Paul
humferier - maybe he helped out but didn't officially volunteer
I'm not going to bother renaming these unless we get atleast 7 guys
If things get to big and too unorganized it will just be too big of a project. Plus it'll hurt the chances of getting into the tvdb, let alone XBMC unless these get named correctly.
