Hi guys,

I'm getting increasing tv shows with random tiles and would really like your help resolve this issue which would keep my wife happy when I'm away for work.

most of the shows shes watches are watched and deleted, therefore I had the following script created for me
this downloads the and removed the required file from it's folder and deletes the unwanted folder.

how do I use this and rename the file at the same time?

thanks

Rename the file to what?
What's the relation between the name and your script?

I'm looking for something that will rename the file to the name of the nzb
As I'm getting a lot recently that are a random set of numbers and letters.

I was wondering if this could be added to the script that dumps all my tv shows into one folder for easy viewing

I use this powershell I found. Change extension to required one.

That's helpful thank you but I have both mkv and mp4s that go through the same issue
