Automated Finding and Organising

[buzz]

Any chance for this in the next release?

The next version I upload will be a final release (i.e. non beta), with a few final bug fixes. I've got a bunch of new features planned in the next few weeks though, among which will be command line control, basic RSS support, and uTorrent magic.

I'm also interested by this automated feature. Also interested by the command line option.

Command line stuff is in the latest alpha (2.1.1a2), and you can find the download link here. You'll want to do something like:

Code: Select all

tvrename.exe /renamingcheck /renamingdo /missingcheck /fnocheck /fnodo /quit


That will make it check for files needing to be renamed, then rename them, then check for missing files, do a finding&organising check for them, move/copy the files found, then quit. Add "/hide" if you want it all to happen without the window coming up. Have a look at the post in the Releases forum for other command line arguments to export the lists of missing, etc., episodes.

The command line arguments are the same as hitting the equivalent buttons in the program, so will work just as well. If anyone tries it, post back here and let me know how it goes. It's not something I'll be using myself, so feedback from others is good.

Awesome! Scheduled a task. And working well. Thanks for this.

Excellent! No problem.

Found a little problem running the command line. If it finds a missing folder it will hang waiting for an input. Maybe you could make it select "create" by default? Then it should run smooth. Oh and it doesn't really bother me but when its transferring files, that window is visible with the /hide command being used.

Ah.. I'd forgotten to take care of those dialogs. I'll sort it out soon.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about alittle piece of software http://www.nathanm.com/extractnow-development/

The goal of extractnow is to automatically extract all archive in a directory. You can add post process actions like delete archives. So you can use it with utorrent after a torrent finishes. The only problem right now is that if there is no archive to extract, extractnow doesnt close itself. Makes it hard to use it in a script.
You should try it, it s a really good solution for automation.

Well except what I mentioned above I was able to get it run a couple times. But now it won't run. It just loops now and spits out this:

Code: Select all

I've tried it with the /hide command and with out. I have parallel downloads set to 1. Ok, I ran it again before this post and it ran ok. Ran it again just now and it didn't look like it ran right but didn't get an error output this time. Maybe that output above can help sort it out. Sorry if this is supposed to be in "bugs"
