after tvrename has renamed any episodes it can no longer find them and considers them missing even though they are actually there. I have the renamed like this:
CSI - NY\Season1\110 - Night, Mother.avi Can anyone tell me how to get tvrename to not show episodes as missing after they have been renamed.

I have not seen that before.

So even after doing a missing check after renaming?

Try going under options | Filename Processors and running a test aginst the Season 1 folder of CSI and make sure your processors can recognize the files after being renamed (you should see them being parced in the window below)

If not then adjust the regex so that it can recognize the files.

they do not show up in filename processors. I'm not sure how to set up filename proccessors to find my files, What would i have to enter for tvrename to find my files that are in this format: Star Trek Enterprise\Season 1\101 - Broken Bow.avi
all of my tv shows are in this format

stewood is right, in that the filename processor needs to be able to interpret the new filename format, and get the season+episode number out of it. Go into the filename processors dialog and enable the second one, which should be:


(^|[^a-z])s?(?<s>[0-9]+)(?<e>[0-9]{2,})[^a-z]

This will interpret any three (or more) digit number as a 2 digit episode number at the end, preceeded by the season number. 203 -> s02e03, 2003 -> s20e03.

If your show name has a year in it (e.g. "Knight Rider 2008"), then TVRename will try to not pick up that year as a season+episode number.

You could also modify that (or add a new one), with this regex:


^(?<s>[0-9]+)(?<e>[0-9]{2,}) -

That is much more specific for your case, ensuring that the number is at the very start of the filename, and the number has a <space><dash> after it.
