Before you scream "NO, Not another one!", hear me out.
I created this application for my own needs since no other program seems to do what I wanted. My scenario is this:
I use XBMC to scan/scrape all my movie info. I do this because it gives me the best results and I don't need no extra application.
When I'm done scanning and scraping I choose correct fanart and posters and use the excellent Export Library-function and save all my .nfo/fanart/posters to separate files. These files gets the same name as the videofile but not the folder name, just as I like it.
My directory tree now looks like this:
-> MOVIES-HD
--> An.Excellent.Movie.BluRay.1080p-GROUPNAME
---> groupname.anexcellent.movie.mkv
---> groupname.anexcellent.movie.nfo
---> groupname.anexcellent.movie.tbn
---> groupname.anexcellent.movie-fanart.jpg
---> groupname.anexcellent.movie.srt (if I have downloaded a subtitle)
My nifty little application does as follows:
1. Scan the MOVIES-HD folder for movie subfolders.
2. Scans every subfolder for files.
3. Uses MediaInfo.dll to get info from the video file:
VideoResolution: 1080p, 720p, 576p, 480p, sd, ..
AudioFormat: DTS, dolbydigital, mp3, ..
AudioChannels: mono, 2ch, 6ch, 7ch, ..
HasSubtitles: looks for .sub and .srt in the folder
4. It reads VideoSource from the folder name: bluray, hddvd, dvdrip, ..
5. Reads the .nfo file created by XBMC to find movie name.
6. By your choosing writes the info to <studio> tag in .nfo and renames all files.
7. Creates a .nfo with <title> & <studio> tag if none exists. (scrapes moviename from foldername)
8. Renames files depending on filemasks of your choosing.
My directory tree now looks like this:
-> MOVIES-HD
--> An.Excellent.Movie.BluRay.1080p-GROUPNAME
---> an.excellent.movie.1080p.bluray.6ch.dts.mkv
---> an.excellent.movie.1080p.bluray.6ch.dts.nfo
---> an.excellent.movie.1080p.bluray.6ch.dts.tbn
---> an.excellent.movie.1080p.bluray.6ch.dts-fanart.jpg
---> an.excellent.movie.1080p.bluray.6ch.dts.srt
All you have to do is run Update Library in XBMC and your media flags will shine bright in Aeon Stark!
You can choose to rename file or/and update nfo file. I offer both choices so that my application will support both Aeon Stark v0.9 and v0.91 (and future versions like Auriga)
Intended to use with the following folder structure:
(You can also choose to update single movie folders)
-> MOVIE CONTAINER FOLDER <- this is the one you choose in the program.
--> Movie 1 folder
--> Movie 2 folder
--> Movie 3 folder
--> ...
For 64-bit support please overwrite the MediaInfo.dll in the root folder with the one located in the x64 folder!
If you like what I have done, and would like to use it then download it here:

Sorry, I'm tired
of course not. It reads video source from the folder name (since it's scene release standard to include it there)
EDIT: and the file name if it can't find it in the folder name.

Nice Job. I admire anyone who create a app for the public mass to use. Thanks for thinking about us.

Crashes on XP and Windows 7.

You will need to install .NET Framework. probably 3.5 SP1.
Weird. Windows 7 should have it. Please post crash info!
