Re: Renaming Music Videos

Hi Kim, I really appreciate all your work and help on this issue. Glad you checked out RockPeaks! I would be happy to explore an API integration between the site and Filebot, let's definitely start that conversation. Our public API is underdeveloped at this point, but maybe now is the time to start ...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

That works for a single file now Kim, which is great, but unfortunately for multiple files that have correct new double digit sequence numbers, things don't work as expected. Hopefully this explains the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mdize54komleg ... b.png?dl=0

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Sorry Kim, the path structure is as follows:

Joe Jackson > 1989 06-08 - Late Night with David Letterman > 0.mp4

or

Joe Jackson > 1989 07-12 - The Arsenio Hall Show > 1.mp4

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Thank you Kim, unfortunately using that code on a file called "13.mp4" gave me this: 13 -- Joe Jackson -- Late Night with Conan O'Brien -- 1913.mp4 What I would ideally like is for the "13" to be placed after the artist name, as the temporary song title placeholder, like this: Jo...

Hi Kim, Sorry for not including more info. This graphic should help explain things a bit further: https://www.dropbox.com/s/po8xsqsotqxlqj9/Annotation-Filebot-Renaming-Issue.png?dl=0 You can see how the files in the "House of Blues" folder renamed successfully, based on (1) the top level A...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Hello, I had a small follow-up request regarding the rename code above, which has been working very well for me for years. In some renaming contexts I'm now stripping away most of the old filename, leaving just a signal digit or double digit number and the file extension, i.e. 1.mp4 2.mp4 ... 11.mp4...

Hi Kim,

Thanks for taking the time to check this. Things are working for me now, I wasn't following the procedure correctly before.

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Howdy Red Noah, I've just returned to FileBot after some months away from my renaming task, and started to pick up where I left off. Using the same syntax you developed above (07 Feb 2016 post has the latest code) I am now getting "[Expression yields empty value: null]" when trying to rena...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

I can definitely live with #1. Regarding #2, I didn't think to try the delete key (duh) so I was toggling between the up down keys and the red x (with the mouse), and thus the window was losing focus, which is why I thought the up down keys were not working. All good now, just using the keyboard. #3...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Fantastic, that worked like a charm. I have just spent two hours happily renaming files, and have no other issues to report with regards to the renaming code. I do have a couple of observations about the FileBot UI that you may want to consider the next time you make an update to the program. One is...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

An improvement, but I am still finding problems with commas in show names, for instance: 1983 10-30 - The Summit, Houston Texas ACDC_Shoot_To_Thrill_Houston_83.mpeg Will rename as follows: ACDC -- Shoot To Thrill Houston -- The Summit, Houston Texas -- 1983 And: 1996 7-5 - VH1 Studio B, London, Engl...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Indeed, the time and effort you put in was well worth the donation and is much appreciated. I do notice after some time using the latest code that the comma issue still persists in some cases, placing what preceded the comma into the clip title. This renames fine: 1991 9-28 - Tushino Airfield, Mosco...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Looking good! A few anomalies still though, but I don't want to try your patience. If these are too persnickety, I can definitely live with things as the way they are. If you're feeling up to some further tweaks however.... For some reason: B52s_03_Private_Idaho_Big_Backyard_BBQ_1998 B52s_04_Channel...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Excellent! Your second code snippet does indeed render the BBC St Luke's filename correctly. And the other issues are fixed as you say. I have tried the final snippet on a bunch of files at random and had very good results. There are a few exception conditions here and there, but these are unique na...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

The new code snippet worked well on the Old Grey Whistle test file, with one exception: the name of the artist was repeated: John Cale -- Cale John Dying On The Vine -- Old Grey Whistle Test -- 1985 If we could get rid of the second instance of the artist name that would be fantastic. I tested the n...

Re: Renaming Music Videos

Fantastic rednoah, thanks for responding so promptly! To answer your questions: 1. So the new filename is entirely based on known information (folder name, file name, custom text mappings) right? No music identification necessary at all? Yes, that is correct, no music identification necessary. So th...

Renaming Music Videos

Hello, Here’s my situation. I have a very large library of music videos, roughly 30,000-35,000 of them. In the earlier days of collecting, I adopted a naming convention that emphasized short filenames and a limited character set so that my videos would work with a serial-controlled computerized play...
