Parse and rename files with flexget or regexp?

[Solarisphere]

I've got FlexGet up and running, and now I'm wondering if there is a way to parse and rename the downloaded files. FlexGet's "series" plugin is able to parse the names of TV shows, and I would like to rename the files to TVshowname.S__E__.mkv I'm using the deluge plugin to download them and move them to the correct folder upon completion.

Is it possible with FlexGet? Or does anyone know of a way to filter and rename them with regexp? I want to get rid of the release group and source info in the filename.

It is something I have wanted for a long time on my linux box. The best renamers i've used have all been windows based and I started writing the post with a few of the links to them and actually ended up with a compilation of what I think is possibly all of the major renamers out there...

Windows

• mediarenamer - I have used this one often
  therenamer - Never liked the Flash/IE combination requirement
  seriesrenamer
  TvOrganizer - Python based (from post here)
  TVRenamer
  epnamer

Platform Independent

• airdate.pl -A perl script that kind of worked for me but not perfect
  tvrenamer - New version 0.6 supports linux now, needs mono
  tv-renamer - Java GUI renamer
  sickbeard - Python based
  tvnamer - Python based and a cursory glance suggests this could be what you are looking for

Finally there is also interesting proposal with Universal Media Manager that you could keep your eye on.

P.S. You are aware that if you rename the downloaded torrent files it will break the ability to seed the torrent so this could be a reason neither torrent clients nor FlexGet implement the functionality.

Thanks for the list! I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (soon 10.04), so I obviously can't use any of the windows ones. I found a few references to Universal media manager in the XBMC forums, but it sounds like it's still in the early stages of development. XBMC is what I'm renaming them for though. I've got an ION330 based HTPC attached to the TV and speakers, and it streams video off the computer in my room. XBMC is pretty good at cutting through the crap in the DLed filenames, but I want it to be clean. I was hoping if flexget or deluge could rename the files then it might be able to keep seeding them even after the automatic name change, but if that isn't possible then I can see why it wouldn't be supported.

The integrated RSS plugin I'm planning to write for 1.4 will be able to do this.

It is not currently possible, but give me a few days, I'm working on it.

EDIT:
This is possible as of FlexGet r1227. See the wiki page for the deluge plugin for more details.

If it's just tv renaming you're looking for, check out FileBot (definitly beats most of the apps listed above):
