Sometimes you can download TV shows, Cartoons or Anime and they don't have any Season or Episode number naming conventions, they'll just have a sequential number and the episode title.
For instance, I came across the Looney Tunes Golden Collection and the file structure was as follows:
Golden Collection\Part 1\001 - Bugs at Bat.avi
there's no way to parse this info for season or episode number because "Part 1" might not mean Season 1 and "001" probably surely isn't the episode number. But the title "Bugs at Bat" could be useful.
This leads me to my suggestion:
1) You manual add a TV series like normal to TVrename
2) Go to a tab called "Bulk File Matching"
3) Browse to a folder that contains episodes (Episodes in the folder MUST be from the SAME show at least)
4) TVrename will list the files found in a column
5) Using a drop down list you pick the show you want to match the files with and TV Rename shows
the episodes in the same window in another column (separated by Season if needed)
6) Using either drag and drop or an UP or DOWN arrow key, you could move the files next to
their matching episode name.
7) Once all files are matched up you click the "Rename" button and it will rename and copy / move files
according to how the TV Series is setup.
This is similar to what MediaMonkey and Tag&Rename does with music files.
They allow you to search Amazon.com or FreeCDDB.com for CD track listings
and you can apply it to folder structures like the following:
Green Day \ unknown album \ 01 - track.mp3
Unknown Artist \ Its You Not Me \ 01 - track.mp3
