I'm unable to figure out how to have Hazel rename TV show episodes using TVnamer.

If anyone has a workflow that includes Hazel and TVnamer could you please post a screenshot of your working rule?

im trying this:

Run Shell Script > embedded script:
shell = /bin/sh
code = /usr/local/bin/tvnamer --batch "$1"

Files are found but tvnamer appears to not get called:

Please only post actual Tips to the Tips forum (the sticky article there tells you this). Do not post questions there.

I suggest searching the forums as I'm pretty sure someone else here is using tvrenamer. You might also want to test in Terminal to make sure things work ok there.

Have you tried invoking tvnamer by its name alone? This is what is working for me:

Code: Select all

tvnamer --batch $1

The shell is /bin/bash.

jxp05j,

The reason tvnamer works without the full pathname is because it's in a directory that's in the command search path of the bash shell script that Hazel invokes. If tvnamer is in /usr/local/bin on fogcity's system then specifying the full pathname to it, i.e. /usr/local/bin/tvnamer, more explicitly ensures it's the one that'll be used than if the directory is omitted.
