[Meta] Any programs that automatically sort tv episodes?

FileBot might help by adding the correct season to the beginning of each file name.

filebot is a fantastic program, i would gladly donate to them if i could.

[-] Mangekyo_ | 1 points | Mar 01 2017 06:51:09

Is it paid? Every time I try to download it the windows 10 store pops up.

[-] makzimus | 2 points | Mar 01 2017 10:01:19

No. Download from sourceforge and run in compatibility mode. You also need to have appropriate JRE

run in compatibility mode

Good catch! I guess I'll have to remove the legacy installers altogether~ Oh well~ facepalm

Why man, why? Why on eartch would you do something like that.

Pro Tip: Ask money for support. Make it free to use.

[-] rednoah | 3 points | Mar 01 2017 18:02:48

'cause you're asking for it. :P

I've got 10.000+ posts on the FileBot Forums so I can tell you with absolute certainty that support does not pay. ;)

If you don't believe me, you're welcome to take over the forums and try to get rich from people paying you for support~

Pro Tip: Companies pay money for support. Consumers never ever pay money for support.

Don't worry. There is always a bigger fish.

[-] iwasboredsoyeah | 1 points | Mar 01 2017 07:09:36

download it from sorceforge and not the actual site, i dont know why they're pushing the window store version now. https://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/filebot/FileBot_4.7.8/

[-] rednoah | 10 points | Mar 01 2017 08:12:01

There are a few reasons. Most importantly, if you use the Windows Store, then you can't f*** things up.

1 in 5 support requests are about installing 32-bit Java and 64-bit FileBot, or 64-bit Java and 32-bit FileBot, etc. Since you're handing out links meant for "advanced user" to "basic users", which then go on to download x86 (because x86 > x64, obviously, duh), then you might as well help me out with dealing with them when they come running for help with great thread titles such as "Help me!" "It doesnt work" or "Filebot shows wierd error". facepalm

[-] rednoah | 1 points | Mar 01 2017 10:57:06

That's bicht-sensei for you! :D

[-] bfodder | 1 points | Mar 10 2017 21:52:12

Whenever I use that MSI I get java errors.

[-] rednoah | 1 points | Mar 01 2017 08:26:39

Yes, it's paid.

[-] hawkeyes_21 | 1 points | Mar 01 2017 07:47:44

cheers mate. been looking for something like this

[-] Valar_Morghulis7 | 1 points | Mar 02 2017 00:24:12

is there something like this for macOS, anyone know?

[-] Sean89us | 1 points | Mar 03 2017 18:14:47

See my comment below, tiny media manager works on all platforms and is free

[-] sherlockpotter7 | 4 points | Mar 01 2017 17:36:14

Just a tip going forward: When you're using MegaDownloader to download something with multiple sub-folders (such as a TV show with folders for each season), create a new empty folder. Then, in MegaDownloader, when you go into the Add Links window, uncheck "Create Directory" and modify the specified Path to direct to the new folder. (e.g. If your default path is "C:\Downloads", change it to "C:\Downloads\ [new folder name]") It will then download everything properly, and sort everything as it appears online.

There's another tool: theRenamer

[-] rundmcc | 2 points | Mar 01 2017 14:46:15

sonarr is amazing.

[-] deptford | 2 points | Mar 02 2017 06:22:29

Looks good.

[-] Sean89us | 2 points | Mar 03 2017 18:10:19

I used to use TheRenamer which works ok, but a while back I switched to Tinymediamanager (tmm). It works for both movies and tv shows, and also downloads related media info and artwork automatically. You can customize the renaming/ cleanup options to your liking and it just works great! Pairs well with kodi. I highly recommend it, also it's free!

Kodi takes a bit of work, but once it's up an running it will look like [this] (http://imgur.com/a/zaF83) once you have the right addon, it will scrape all of the episode info etc
