TV Rename TVDB Scraper This tool is designed for TV Rename users. It will use you TV Rename settings to scan your collection of TV shows, and download relevant assets from The TVDB. It will download: For each series: folder.jpg fanart.jpg season-all.tbn tvshow.nfo For each season: seasonXX.tbn For each episode: EPISODE_NAME.nfo EPISODE_NAME.tbn The tool requires you to have a folder for each TV series, and within that a folder for each Season. It will respect the settings you have in TV Rename, including "Use DVD Order". You can force the use of DVD order by using the command line option "/dvd". I have developed this tool for my own use, but if people find it useful I am willing to improve on it or release the source code. SETUP: During installation you should be prompted for the path to your TVRename settings file. This is an XML file created by TVRename, usually found in your userdata folder, e.g. C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\TVRename\TVRename\2.1\TvRenameSettings.xml You should locate this file and copy and paste the path, including the file name, into the dialog box when prompted. You can alter the path at any time by editing the config file in the installation directory. This tool will not modify your TVRename settings XML file. You can create a copy of your settings file and use that instead. OTHER OPTIONS: There are some other options you can alter in the config file in the installation directory: - Logging - you can turn on logging by altering the line to - Disabling actions - you can stop this tool from creating any assets in your library by setting the DisableAllActions value to true. - Delays - you can add either a delay at the end of the program, or after each series has been processed, to give you time to examine the console output. You can edit the values of the PostCompletionDelay and PostSeriesDelay keys. They should be values in milliseconds (0 for none).
