Upgraded Rename My TV Series 2 from previous version but...

roscoe — Fri, 29 May 2026 03:17:09 +0000

I thought I could open both versions and copy my filename/path options over from the old version to the new...but the old version now throws an error and crashes when I try to open the Settings. Anyway to retrieve those old settings?

"Reveal in Finder" question

roscoe — Fri, 29 May 2026 02:28:50 +0000

Complete newb to ConnectMeNow (and SMB in general) with "Reveal in Finder" question

I was able to get one NAS mounted (I have two), but it doesn't show in Finder. I have to go to the menubar to "reveal in Finder" but it shows up grayed out with the internal directories/folders visible. However, once I close that window it's hidden again. Is there a way to mount it and have it stay visible in Finder?

Thanks

edit to add: If I navigate through Finder (my old way of mounting it) it seems to mount, but I have no idea how that relates to the mounted drive via ConnectMeNow. Almost seems as though it's mounted twice. When I mount through Finder, it shows up in the sidebar. When I mount via ConnectMeNow and "Reveal in Finder" it doesn't. I'm really confused.

edit to add2: The NAS in question has a volume name that is the same as the NAS, and the Volume has directories under it. In retrospect this may have created some confusion on my part (wasn't NAS proficient when I set it up...still not really). When I "reveal in finder" it skips the Volume level and goes right to the directories (doesn't really bother me).

edit to add3: When I go to "Network" under the computer name I see one NAS connected (not the one I'm setting up in ConnectMeNow) and one drive that appears to me unmounted (the one I AM setting up). Yet ConnectMeNow is showing it mounted. I'm really confusedx2.

edit to add4: Read the main ConnectMeNow page and it described going to "/Volumes/" to see all connected drives, but I don't see the ConnectMeNow-mounted drive there. I'm really confusedx3.

Interesting Problem with TV Rename

thebaf — Mon, 25 May 2026 14:55:59 +0000

Hello,

Running 2.3.15 on Windows 11. This particular bug has been around for a few versions though. There is a series on paramount called Matlock started in 2024. There is also the original Matlock series from 1986. When I try to rename the new Matlock I type in Matlock in the search bar, select Matlock (2024) TVDB, and it populates the episode list correctly, I then load the directory with the files to rename, and the auto select picks the episodes from the original Matlock from 1986 even though that is not in the episode list. So I then delete the auto picks and manually select the episodes and the rename is fine. This happens on all three sources, TVDB, TVMAZE and TMDB. This is the only time I have seen this issue so it is a very low priority bug but interesting. I would attach a snapshot, but the forum says no more attachments are allowed today.

Thanks,

Greg

Lost ability to ping server after upgrade to Tahoe 26.5

ultor — Sun, 24 May 2026 02:45:45 +0000

I have a simple config with a pair of NFS mounts from a NAS that's been working fine for a while. Last night I upgraded to 26.5, and now I can't mount anything. If I go into the UI and try to ping the server from the "Shares" screen, I get a message saying the ping failed. I can ping the server (by address in both cases) from a terminal window. It seems like some security setting is preventing the app from pinging (and perhaps from accessing the network altogether) but I didn't intentionally change anything and I'm not seeing anything in system settings that looks like it would be causing this. Happy to try things to troubleshoot the issue if needed.

I have been using Applepi-baker for many years now and it is an awesome app. Recently I have been getting a message when I open it that says Rosetta 2 will be phasing out. Will there be an update for Applepi-Baker for Apple Silicon?

Lazarus Pascal - Git - How to make a clean patch file (Diff) by excluding certain files

Hans — Tue, 19 May 2026 17:13:05 +0000

Making a modification I learned how to exclude certain files when making a patch file (thanks n7800!).

Normally one would use

git diff > todo.patch

But with Lazarus Pascal this would come with unwanted PO and POT (translation) files, and (under macOS anyway) lazarus.app and startlazarus.app (exclude sections).
Sometimes it also coms with unwanted white space which we'd like to exclude as well (-w option).

All options together this would make

git diff -- . ':(exclude)*.po' ':(exclude)*.pot' ':(exclude)lazarus.app' ':(exclude)startlazarus.app' -w > mychanges.patch

Running this in the Lazarus directory will create a nice and clean Diff file (for small changes).

Hope this is useful for others, at least a nice reminder for myself.

iOS 26.x - Fix auto-correct goofing up all the time

Hans — Tue, 12 May 2026 10:01:40 +0000

This may not fix this for all goof-ups, but it sure made the experience a LOT better for me: Resetting the keyboard dictionary!

- Make sure your iPhone is up to date (eg. 26.4 or 26.5 at the time of this writing.

- Go to Settings -> General -> Transfer of Reset iPhone -> Reset - > Reset Keyboard Dictionary -> Reset Dictionary

ConnectMeNow Beta

marjue — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:48:24 +0000

Hello

Im' using CMN for a long time now and love it. Thanks for making new versions.

I found some GUI glitches.

1. IF the "Share Details" window is enlarged to the right. The "Password:" text is moving into the password field.

2. In the "Advanced" Tab, the "ADVANCED" is hiding the text below it. I would share a picture, but only one is allowed.

Greetings,

Marcus

How to display posters instead of banners in search results?

angelsing — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 19:25:49 +0000

Greetings. Is there any way to display the poster instead of the banner in the search results of Rename My TV Series 2? Many series don't have a banner, but posters are almost always available and make visual identification much easier. I’ve looked through the settings but can't find an option to change this. Is it possible to do? Thank you very much.

ConnectMeNow: Run a script/command before mounting?

smuskiew — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 23:53:19 +0000

I see in the advanced options for ConnectMeNow shares there is a "run script after mount", but is there any way to run a script/command before CMN mounts a share?

Here's my use case: my SMB shares require Samba domain (kerberos) login - this usually works fine from the Mac but every so often it doesn't renew the Kerberos ticket (guessing due to the laptop being asleep) and then when that doesn't happen none of the mounts work. I did find that "kinit --keychain" apparently does use the keychain for my password to renew the ticket without needing to do anything else so now I just need a way to automate running this command before CMN tries to remount the shares.

If this isn't currently possible, can I make a feature request to add it? Having this would truly help out for the non-Mac savvy members of my family who need to access our disk shares. 😀

Thanks for an awesome tool!
