I am ripping my first TV series to mkv, and I am having a hell of a time getting them named properly for Ember Media manager. I tried to use tvrename but I cannot get it to do what I want! :D

The files I rip to are just (as an example) SamJack S01E01.mkv. I want tvrename to spit out Samurai Jack S01 E01 - Ep Title.mkv.

But I am having no luck getting this to happen. It doesnt pull in my files therefore no naming occurs.

Is there a step-by-step guide out there (or on the wiki) that I can follow?

Thank you for any help.

This is similar to a question I just answered elsewhere. See:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=803#p2680

Your problem is that your pre-changed files have names that are too different from the TVdB name.

Since your problem is in the titles, not the series/episode numbering or episode-title, then you probably would find it easier to just bulk-rename the files using some renaming utility, (keeping the series/episode numbering & episode-title unchanged). I like Magic File Renamer, but there are many others, some of which are discussed in these forums.
