TV renaming function

[manks]

Are there any plans to use the functions of the TV naming script within SAB and extend them to movies and music?

It would be great if this could be done - scripting doesn't work for me :-(

Both Movies and Music are pretty tricky to add support for. Currently TV sorting works well because it is easy to detect that an item is in a series from the 1x01 or S01E01, and extract the information needed.

TV detection works regardless of category, but if Movies and Music support were added, they would need to be category specific due to their nzb names being so common (Usually "Some Text (2008)" for both), which proves an annoyance for people who do not use categories.

Movies also quite commonly contain two extracted files that would need to be renamed. This is tricky as their naming is often different, from cd1 to simply -a. They would need to be reliably detected to name each one correctly.

Music is more complicated, it would require the reading of the ID3 tagging from the .mp3 files (or the many other sound formats), or integration with a detection service such as MusicBrainz. This is arguably out of SABnzbd's scope as a binary downloader.

It's been implemented for 0.5, however 0.5 is still a while off.

Thanks switch, good to know its on its way even if its not straight away.

Should probably clarify what is implemented.

Series support has been rewritten for greater support for multiple episodes and specials
A data based sorter has been added for nzb's that contain specific dates in titles.
A generic sort has been added that will rename binary files inside a download after the nzb name with support for CD1 CD2 naming, year and decade support.

Any sort of audio/music sorting has not been added.
