autochanger script: rip & rename

[pathensley]

been looking for a suitable script for my sony xl1b autochanger running mediadogg's mediachanger gui on a 2003 server box - can't believe it was so hard to find the stupid commands to rename the mkv files.

mediachanger passes the dvd drive letter as param 4 (%4), or you can just assign a drive letter (I used M)

I'm ripping to title##.mkv in d:\temp, then renaming to "yymmdd_hhmmss {dvd_label} title##".mkv

hope this helps someone else

---------------------------------------
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\MakeMKV\makemkvcon.exe" --minlength 1260 mkv disc:0 all d:\temp
d:
cd \temp
vol m: > tmpFile
set /p label= < tmpFile
del tmpFile
set hh=%time:~0,2%
if "%time:~0,1%"==" " set hh=0%hh:~1,1%
set newname=%date:~12,2%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2% %hh%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2% %label:~22,99%
for %%i in (title*.mkv) do ren "%%i" "%newname% %%i"
---------------------------------------

This is the most important part of the workflow, & the part that took me the most time to figure out.

The rest was pretty easy. I scan the upc's via my android phone using clipbot as I load the changer, so the resulting date/time stamps match the same order as my upc list - I email the upc list to my mac & translate into good disk titles via Delicious Library v1.7, then build a simple script to rename the date/time stamped files to their real movie title names.

Hi!

Although your script will possibly be very useful to you and some others, it apparently has nothing to do with beta testing MakeMKV...

Sorry, it's my first post here so maybe I'm confused - I posted an idea in a forum section called "General MakeMKV discussion", whose description said "Everything related to MakeMKV", about a technique to rename makemkv's output files, rather than whine about how I need MakeMKV to be changed to name the files differently, because I haven't found anybody else sharing a solution that works for me & I see lots of others apparently in need of some ideas.

Moderators, please feel free to delete the thread. I have everything I need.
