I have two questions but first I would like to say thank you for these programs. This one has helped me so much setting up Plex over the years. The past couple of weeks I have been trying to rename some series that I have to put into plex as usual. It finds the series like always but when I click to load the file names I want to change the program locks up (becomes unresponsive) and I have to close it via task manager. I am on win 11 64bit and have updated to the latest version of Rename my tv series. Can you please help. The second question is, in the next few months I am planning to get away from windows and move to Zorin 18.1 OS. I was wondering if you think this program will run on that OS and if you might have any suggestions. I have been a windows user only and will have to learn this OS so that is why I am saying a few months. I have another computer I am trying to learn Zorin on before I change my mail system over. Thank you for your time.
Hi sscsr1!
Cool to hear you're been using RMTV for a long time already and that it has been quite helpful 😊
The lock up makes me think that accessing the files is somehow very slow or unresponsive.
Can you try this with a few local files (eg. on your C: drive) to see if it locks up as well.
Also: did you enable ffprobe in the settings?
If so, try what happens when disabling it.
As for ZorinOS - I believe this is derived from Ubuntu/Debian so RMTV most likely just works (there is a Linux version in the downloads).
You can use either the GTK or QT5 version (different widget set).
Having said that: Linux can be rather a pain (from a developers perspective - and I'm not a Linux user).
I'd strongly recommend running ZorinOS in a virtual machine first and giving it a try before switching over completely.
There is a lot you'll need to get yourself familiar with. For example: Dependencies can be a pain.
I'd use VMWare Workstation Player (there is a free version) for this, or Hyper-V (if you have Windows 11 Pro), but maybe there are better options.
If you have Windows 11 Pro, then this is what I found (Google) on how you can start with Hyper-V for free:
In the Windows search bar, type "Turn Windows features on or off" and open it.
Check the box for Hyper-V and click OK, then restart your PC.
Download an ISO file (such as Ubuntu).
Open the Hyper-V Manager, click New > Virtual Machine on the right menu, and follow the setup wizard using your downloaded ISO.
Hope this helps 😊
Just found another option to try Zorion OS: Boot from USB with a so called "live" environment.
Of course booring from USB may be slower but at least it gives you the opportunity to give it a try with RMTV.
