Episoder

A node.js commandline utility for renaming the files of downloaded TV shows.

Parses filenames of video files for relevent information and queries the Trakt API to find episode title to construct the new filename and renames.

Installation

You're going to need node.js for this. If you don't have that, Google how to install that on your operating system and come back when you're done.

$ npm install --global episoder

This may need to be run as sudo.

Usage

$ episoder community-s01e04.mp4

Will rename the file to Community - S01E04 - Social Psychology.mp4

It tries to be clever and only rename video files.

Currently it will move files from inside a directory to where you have run the command.

Show/Episode/Season flags

There are useful --show, --episode, and --season flags, which can be useful if there is not enough information in the filename to work out what it is:

$ episoder --show "Parks and Recreation" --season 1 --episode 4  untitled.mp4

Will rename to Parks and Recreation - S01E04 - Boys Club.avi.

Other Flags

There are a few other features that might be useful.
