Episode-Renamer

A convenient script that gives meaningful names to episodes from your TV series collection.

Usage

1. Paste this script in the same location as your episode files.

2. Obtain the episode titles (an easy way would be to get a screenshot of the Wikipedia page and passing it through OCR) and save them in a plain text file.

3. Run the script with the following arguments:

• -p (--prefix)

  The prefix that you want for every file. For example, if you are renaming episodes from the third season of the series, the prefix could be 'S03'

• -v (--video):

  The file extension of the video files e.g. mkv, mp4, etc.

• -s (--subtitle):

  The file extension of the subtitle files e.g. srt, sub, etc.

• -t (--title):

  The name of the text file with the episode titles

(-t is mandatory, whereas at least one should be passed from -v and -s)
