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

Both season episode number and absolute episode naming format

Thanks for any help.

Love it because it reminds me of the episode and Hate because of its format.

<episodedetails>
<title>Good Luck, Father Ted</title>
<season>1</season>
<episode>1</episode>

You do such a great job in the main display and not here.

Is there supposed to be a reader for this format? 

I also question the use of .nfo.  Shouldn't that be .txt?

.nfo is used for system files and some source people use it for an ASCII graphic. 

You could use .txt and/or .txt at the end to give you some advertisements. 

Since you are working with the TVDB, can you get any other information from them?

Cast and crew, Artwork, etc.

You might have to put it in a separate directory to capture the images.

Add a folder to contain it with the Banner.jpg and TVshow.info

Thanks again for a great program!  

If you want coffee, tell me the brand and flavor, and I'll send you a case (or maybe just a bag)  

           Select from any YouTubers host site supplier. They need support as well.

Windows 10/11 

Rename My TV Series (2.0.10 (Build 8))
OS: Windows (64-bit), Windows 10.0, i386 (32-bit application) 

(Why do many people equate 32-bit with x86) 

======

P.S. Can you give us a Q&D (quick and dirty) program to convert the old .nfo to a readable .nfo/.txt file?

Unless you add the Cast/Crew info to it, you wouldn't even need to access the internet.

Input a directory of many, many shows and have it find all the .nfos to fix.

It would be a royal pain to do all these one at a time (again).

Even your saved formats have no effect.  It started dropping the date of the episode, then everything changed.

I would like to send a screenshot but your system does not allow this, that is all I can do.

My pattern:  %N (%Y) - S%S2E%E2 (%D) %T

  The displayed format in the setting is correct.  (can't copy it for here) 

The output of the sample display ends up like this: (Can't copy it but have to enter it here)

  Father Ted - S 1, E ! - Good Luck, Father Ted  

Renaming used this format, not mine.

If I could give you screenshots it would be much easier to debug.

thanks for a great program, It has saved me hours.

You can use "wmic" in a DOS box (CMD):

wmic diskdrive

This will pull up a list of your currently attached disks, something like this:

To the far right, you'll see the column "status" indicating if your disk is "healthy".
The column "InterfaceType" shows what is connected through USB. Please note: SCSI should probably say M2 or PCIe or something like that on my Windows machine.

I did hear about GSMartControl, which is supposed to be helpful as well and available for Windows, Linux and macOS. Just not sure how well it will work under macOS.

I am new to these forums, but have experience in programming in many languages, like C++ or Python, using Windows computers.

I am using the Castle Game Engine to develop video games because it is 100% free and works on the very old and slow machines from the 90s, whereas most so-called professional game engines like Unity or Unreal 5 cost money or don't run on old machines you will find in most schools or homes.

The Castle Game Engine uses Pascal for its language and Lazarus for its compiler, and is cross platform, but because I am using it on a Windows computer I decided Windows forums would be most appropriate compared to "Miscallenous" which seems to be about non-home computer electronics specifically, and not cross-platform software.

I am having trouble with this (link removed for security reasons) particular project, which I made free to download for everyone who has the Castle Game Engine downloaded on their computer - I made sure it actually opens on my copy correctly first obviously.

It is meant to be a third person game that is a platformer where you play as Sandy Cheeks from SpongeBob, like a kid friendly game.

I initially asked for help on this forum thread, but got called unhelpful responses like "being a hopeless idiot who doesn't pay attention" by the so-called helpers, even after I used examples to prove I was paying attention.

I understand that their point was that I would not include certain lines that made the code not work the way it does, like not including the correct amount of "begins" and "ends", but I pointed out how I understood conceptually how a begin and end block was supposed to work, or that a procedure is defined in a certain way always, I only needed help with the details.

This code snippet is what I need help with, in the line about gamemymesh.pas:

procedure CreateMesh;
  begin
    Mesh := TCastleRenderUnlitMesh.Create(true);
    Mesh.SetVertexes(, false);
    Mesh.SetIndexes();

    // Later on in the code
    CreateMesh;

This is the relevant code snippets from the example I was using.

I learned that SetVertexes sets each point of the fesh, and SetIndices sets how the points are connected and in what order, like I initiailly guessed, when I asked.

However, when I asked for clarification on how to get custom inputs to "SetVertices", which I needed to do to get the player character's location precisely drawn down,

I wasn't given any response, so I assumed it was because they wanted me to figure things out for myself like they told me explicitly many times earlier, which is fine.

I did the resourceful thing and looked up if that particular procedure came pre-coded with a particular number of inputs/parameters in the manual's API, and fortunately it wasn't, so I made an educated guess that it was just a function customly made for that particular piece of code,

So I defined my own version of it with arguments for getting the player Transform object's properties, and made sure that each input of the Vector4's were all of the same type, so single precision singles, like the API says should happen right here:

Like so:

procedure CreateMesh(const AvatarTransform: TCastleTransform);
  begin
    Mesh := TCastleRenderUnlitMesh.Create(true);
    Mesh.SetVertexes(, false);
    Mesh.SetIndexes();

 
 // Line somewhere later down the code; I guessed the problem was
 // not having the correct amount of inputs to match the procedure 
 // definition above, but it still doesn't draw anything afterward

CreateMesh;

However, as mentioned in the comments in the code, even after I correctly specify the correct number of inputs when I call the newly made function, nothing happens at all, not even drawing small dots.

Again, if you want to test this yourself, simply open the Castle Game Engine and the project, copy and paste the code from the second snippet where appropriate in the first snippet, and witness for yourself how it compiles fine but doesn't actually do anything, when I was given that the first example worked perfectly as it was.

Does anyone with any expertise in Pascal Game Engine's Lazarus compiler in particular, know why the above code in the second snippet doesn't work?
