MKV_Renamer is designed to rename videos made with MakeMKV using its logs and TheDiscDB. It currently only does TV shows. Eventually there will be a lot of support to make adding new shows less tedious. It's only been tested with Blu-ray disks but should work with any format.

• Setup
• Workflow

Setup

Setting up MakeMKV

1. View > Preferences > General > Miscellaneous
   Check "Log Debug Messages"
2. Restart (or close) MakeMKV
3. On windows, the log can be found in: C:\Users\<your username>\MakeMKV_log.txt

Warning!! MakeMKV will overwrite the logs every time. It is a good idea to make a copy in a safe location every time you close it!!

Setting up MKV_Rename

On Windows

1. Clone the DiscDB repo
2. Clone this repo
3. Run setup.bat
   1. If python is not installed, it will try to install it from the Microsoft store.
   2. If the store is disabled you may need to install it manually from python.org
   3. If you install python manually, you'll need to run the setup script again.
4. Run run.bat
5. Find your DiscDB repo and navigate to the inner data folder. It should be called data and have three folders inside it: series, movie, and sets.
6. (Optional) Close the program and edit additional options in the settings.json file.

On Linux

1. Clone the DiscDB repo
2. Clone this repo
3. Run setup.sh
   1. It needs several prereqs. If you're using Debian/Ubuntu/Mint or another apt based distro it should be able to install them automatically, but I've only tested this on Ubuntu.
   2. If your using a distro without apt you'll need to install them manually, they are:
      1. python3
      2. python3 virtual environment (python3-venv)
      3. python3 development (python3-dev)
      4. The GTK development libraries (libgtk-3-dev)
4. Run run.sh
5. Find your DiscDB repo and navigate to the inner data folder. It should be called data and have three folders inside it: series, movie, and sets.
6. (Optional) Close the program and edit additional options in the settings.json file.# Workflow

Workflow

1. Look for your series. You have a few options:
   1. You can use the UPC barcode on the packaging.
   2. You can look up the ASIN on amazon if you bought it from there.
   3. You can browse TheDiscDB folders to find the correct series and release.
2. From the pulldown menu in the DiscDB disk section (Left 2nd Row), select the appropriate disk.
3. In the MakeMKV Log section (to the right of step 2), select Browse, and find the MakeMKV log file.
4. Select the disk in the pull down menu to the right.
5. The input folder should fill with the correct path. If it does not, select the path manually.
6. Verify the output path is where you want the files to go. It accepts absolute paths and paths relative to the input folder.
7. Click Copy info from DiscDB.
8. If you don't like the recommend names you can edit them in the Rename to: column.
9. Click Rename!
