This is the main discussion and help group for TV Rename, a program to help manage your TV Show related video files and make them presentable for Kodi, Mede8er, pyTivo and other media hubs.

Download the TV Rename program from the main website, or the source code, from the GitHub page.
Read the Manual and particularly the Quick Start Guide.
Please raise bugs on GitHub issues tracker.
Please raise new Ideas for Features (or vote on existing ideas) on our features list.

If you're having problems, check out your log files! (See the Manual [Log Files] for more information.) If the log files don't help you, feel free to post here, but including the relevant section from the log file will also probably help others to help you! Please make sure you're on the latest version of the program before posting any bug reports.

To run TV Rename you need to install (ignore the link in the error message, it is not enough):
