Need Tutorial to set up Therenamer

[rcsnoopdog]

ÔÇóEventGhost 0.3.7.r1486 and i am using windows 7 ultimate with Therenamer.
All i want is to set up Therenamer to activate automatically when a movie goes into my fetch folder and of course Therenamer to automatically rename and move the movie to my film folder

here is my eventghost set up,Done to the best of my ability from guides on here,now when i open Therenamer and just press fetch on start up screen my unsorted movies in fetch folder are moved and renamed to the film folder so Therenamer seems to work okay just cant get it to do it automatically without me opening up the program and pressing fetch

i am new to eventghost and can tell it is a great app but this is driving me nuts

Hi

im currently working on something similar:

1. Fetch finished movies with therenamer and move them to my movies folder
2. Start Ember Media Manager revisited to scrape all metadata (in german), fanart, poster, cover etc.
3. Tell XBMC to update library that the new movie / show can be added to the library


Due to the fact that the first part is the same, i can help you a little bit:

1. I think its better to use the event DirectoryWatcher.Updated instead of .Created, because Updated is Triggered if a new file is copied, If you start the Macro, after creating the directory (THe system is still copying the movie itself), there is nothing to fetch for therenamer.
2. you start the renamer with the option -fetch, but with this parameter it tries to fetch TV Show information, you need to edit the parameter to -fetchmovie

I Think those two steps must help you. Otherwise you could also check out this Blog post:

But i have some questions on a similar topic. I use a macro for scraping tv-shows as well, but it happens that i copy whole seasons, in this case, therenamer is startet 12 times (for every episode) and after that, the same happens with Ember Media Manager.
I have tried to wait 30 seconds before triggering therenamer, but that isnt helping. What i want to achieve is that therenamer waits 30 seconds, and if the event happens once again (if another episode is copied) to set this counter AGAIN to 30 seconds, and if 30 seconds nothing happens, THEN therenamer should be started. But i have no idea how to do that. Has someone else a clue?

THanks Marc

I have moved on since then and got it working but i also added par n rar before renamer so when i download a film it comes rar and par files which i used to unpack and repair manually but with little program i set a monitering folder in par n rar which is my fetch folder then move a film file in there and it repairs if needed and unpacks,then therenamer starts does its job and moves renamed film file to my movies folder (i am using media browser for windows media center ) i have mymovies3 monitering my movie folder and it collects my metadata automatically along with other program yamm.
Now my problem is when i move a film into fetch folder it all works okay but i want to be able to have my fetch folder as the folder i use to download into,i use grab it for my downloading needs,the problem is when i download into fetch folder par n rar starts up before the film file is downloaded and then doesnt repair or unpack right.What im looking for is to get a script that would tell par n rar not to start up till grab it has finished downloading the film

A program called DirMon (II?) might help you.
It can do lots of stuff including waiting for a file to be idle before doing it's/your thing.

I dont know most of your applications you are using, and I even understand the difference between them, they looked very similar to me when i looked them up.

Anyway, I still trying to figure out a way to implement a timer. Is it possible to have a wait command dependend on a variable? And while counting down to update that variable?

This would help me a lot.

Thanks
