I assume you tried the 2.1.0 beta ... 😊
I have 2 open issues on my list
- "%V and %F do not rename the file properly – 1080p H265 renamed as 720p H264."
- Request to allow subtitles to be dropped and renamed (which would effectively would mean I'd remove the video-only filter).
I've been working on two of my other projects at the same time.
One is ConnectMeNow (for macOS users) and the other one is a tool that I've developed to make deploying macOS apps easier.
Constant testing and fine tuning ... 😋
Anyhoo - it's late here, so I'm too lazy to scroll back to see, but was there anything in specific you were looking for?
Oh and as you can see: I did spend a lot of time replacing the old forum with a (hopefully) better forum.

I took a look a couple of days ago and all I saw was the 2.0.1 that I'm currently running. As for anything specific no, I was more curious than anything. The current version does me just fine since I only use it from the renaming itself.

I did notice a few differences, seems more responsive. Just edited the above post and this one and the text stayed the way it's suppose to, so yes the forum looks good.
The old Forum was a disaster (bbPress).
I wanted to use one of the more established forums (phpBB etc), but unfortunately the link (users) between these forums and WordPress either do not exist, are very old and/or very poorly maintained, or unstable. 🤨
In the end I did find this one, wpForo, which seems to work well and integration wasn't hard (just a lot of work tweaking CSS, and modifying all the code pieces like the menu and such).
I'm glad to hear you're having a positive experience with it, as it wasn't free ... 😋
RMTV: I've released a beta for 2.1.0, so I'm not sure if that was a typo (2.0.1) or not haha.
Just in case:
No that wasn't a typo. The last time I checked that page the only thin g I saw was the the official 2.0.1 release. After I download this I check the download page again. OK just downloaded the
RenameMyTVSeries-2.1.0-beta-Linux-64bit-shared-ffmpeg and on attempted launch i get "SQLite3Connection : no such column: AllowMultiEpisodeFiles. Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Abort to kill the program.", and if I hit ok I get "Access violation. Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Abort to kill the program.", and if I press ok on that dialog I get nothing. However this time using a newer version doesn't seem to be causing issues with the older version.
Crap, the migration seems to be an issue. 😩
Only fix:
1) Keep using the old one and wait until I have a fix for that.
2) Drop the old database and restart the newer version.
I'm recompiling my compiler and IDE at the moment, so I cannot right away look into that.
The database structure comes with quite a few changes.
For a list of changes in 2.1.0 see this post.
Also note that the shared version relies on you installing ffMPEG is you use one of these features:
- A/V Codec etc info in filename
- Update embedded info in video file
(but I'm sure you already knew that)
It's a portable program so there should be no conflicts. Portable programs are suppose to be completely self contained. I've run my fair share of them to know that for a fact. Have to ask why have all the extra for what's suppose to be a simple file renaming program. the program should not care about file type or anything else under the hood of the file. The only thing the program should be concerned with is pulling the info for the show you type in and renaming the files you add correctly according to the criteria you set. From the sounds of it it's far more involved than it needs to be.
Well,... using extra libs (SQLite, ffMPEG) saves me a lot of work, so yes it is portable, but it still has its dependencies.
As for the database error - that would be a goof up on my end.
The tables have changed over time, so my update query is probably looking at a field that was introduced after 2.0.1,..
I'll have to try and find a fix for that.
As for all the extras ... RMTV is just a hobby for me, and some of the new features were just requests that I found interesting for me to try out.
As for the file types, well, the original idea was to pick a video file and rename it, and apply this to files with the same name (just a different extension). Eg. SRT, NFO, JPG, etc. To avoid conflicts, I have RMTV only pick the video files and then determine the other files automatically.
This also makes drag and drop easier: RMTV filters the right files automatically, even if you toss an entire directory tree on it.
Allowing other files could cause conflicts. For example when the user adds "abc.avi" and "abc.srt" - the mechanism would break.
Having said that; I'm not quite sure if I want to allow "any" file.
One thing I did want to add, by request of 2 blind users, is allowing audio files to be handled like video files.
Obviously they only care about the audio track - even though I find it hard to imagine to "watch" a show by just hearing the sound.
Anyhoo - yes, I agree, it is getting more comprehensive than intended.
After this release I'm going to put a stop to all the extras. It all started with TheTVDB not being very reliable.
You may like the AutoDetect option though. 😋
OK I get most of it now. On a side not this new version didn't keep me from opening the old version like in the past, but I did have to redo my settings. No big deal since it took all of 20 second to have them back the way I like them.
The settings is the part I was trying to migrate in my code, but I overlooked the potential non-existence of that one field 😫
Let me know how you like (or dislike) the new version - I'm sure there will be issues, it has become too much for me to track, and there are pretty much no volunteers for testing. Or maybe I should say: a lot of downloads, but very little feedback from those who tried. Could be a good thing of course ... 🤪
I can't give you feedback cause I can't get it to run.
RenameMyTVSeries-2.1.0-beta-Linux-64bit-shared-ffmpeg and on attempted launch i get "SQLite3Connection : no such column: AllowMultiEpisodeFiles.
Maybe I must have misunderstood ... did you try by removing (backup) the old config dir and restarting the new version?
I just downloaded the same version on a clean Linux VM, and it starts without issue ...
In case the old database is still in place, it will (seeing your results) give an error.
You can make a backup of ~/.config/RenameMyTVSeries to keep your old settings in case it doesn't work.

OK just added 000000 in front of the folder name for the current database then attempted to launch 2.10 and it launched perfectly. I've already renamed my shows for today with the old version, so I'll give you feed back tomorrow after I setup RMTV 2.10 and rename shows from tonight. Thanks for reminding me about the database, I totally forgot that I would have to do that. Have a good one.
