Editing and updating video files in my library manually was taking too much time and occasionally I made renaming errors, so I automated the process some time ago with a small program that worked well enough for me at the time, but was somewhat raw and limited in it's capabilities. Recently I freed up some time to code again, so it was completely rewritten and given some polish. When a friend asked what I used to update the library files, he saw and liked what I had, so I decided others might like it also. And so a website was created for it, and soon I'll be hosting a support forum for it too; maybe.
If anyone's interested, here's the link for VFMaster - currently it's hosted in Google space.
From the website:
VFMaster is, at it's heart, a video file renaming program. There are many programs available to edit a video file, but most leave the original intact and create a new file for the revised copy. VFMaster replaces the original file with the updated file. Currently VFMaster works best with movie files simply because folder naming logic for TV Series episode files has not been added. Whatever media library controls your content, VFMaster works with it.
VFMaster runs under Windows only and requires .NET 4.5.1, and was developed with VS2015 under Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 for our own use.
