Hi all,
I am running XBMC on my Windows 7 machine. My music and video collection is stored on an external hard drive. I have already added all my media to the XBMC library.
Today, I came across an XBMC helper (MediaRenamer) to rename the filenames of my TV Shows to include the Episode name etc. I know that if I go ahead and rename all the episodes then next time I update my XBMC library everything will get added again because of the changed filenames, so I will have double everything and half won't work because XBMC can't find the files with the old filenames (currently TV Show.S01E01.avi etc).
I have a collection of almost 50 TV Shows (almost 1tb of media), so I don't want to have to add my entire collection as a new Library as it will take forever! Is there anyway to let XBMC know that the filenames have changed but the actual files are all still there? Or something like that...
I hope you can understand what I'm saying and I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance,
Jack
