Renaming is 2 steps: 1. Renaming the file in the temp directory 2. Moving it to the destination directory What are you lookin to do?For most shows, MCEBuddy as it is is fully sufficient for renaming an episode and placing it in the proper location/hierarchy for my Plex server to recognize it. But some shows are confusing to its TVDB scanner unless a series year is also specified--Castle, for instance. I have already written a small utility app that is run after any episode torrent that I download are complete, which, along with renaming the torrent file, will put it in a pre-existing series folder that also has a series year specified. For example, the file might wind up being renamed as 'Castle - S03E01.mkv', but because I already have a series folder called 'Castle (20090)', the app will place it in there and rename it to 'Castle (2009) - S03E01.mkv' instead of the generic 'Castle' series folder, allowing Plex to properly identify it. So, short version of the answer: I want to be able to call my app to do the final file renaming and moving. BUT, it doesn't have the smarts/connection to perform the metadata based renaming that MCEBuddy does. So it would have to be called AFTER MCEBuddy renamed the file.
