TVRage.com and AdvancedRenamer

Andaho wrote 8 years ago: 1

I use a program called AdvancedRenamer to automatically name my TV show recordings... It's an awesome program, but unfortunately it only uses TVRage.com as the source...

For the last few weeks I've been following an AdvancedRenamer's forum thread, and I started posting in the thread a week ago, but the developer is not responding: http://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?forum_...

I saw a post somewhere from "tvjan", who said this:
----------
"My name is Jan. I'm one of the founders of TVmaze. We reached out regarding using our service as a fallback.

We also offer an API that contains a mapping between TVmaze and tvrage ID's. This would make it possible to automatically convert tvrage links to TVmaze, or automate a variety of other tasks. (For more information here is a detailed list of all the endpoints we are currently providing.
http://www.tvmaze.com/api "
----------

Is there some way, by editing my HOSTS file (or something similar), to make AdvancedRenamer get the episode titles from tvmaze.com instead of tvrage.com? - because the post from tvjan (above) seemed to suggest the tvmaze API is compatible with tvrage?


Many Thanks,

Andaho.

Hey Andaho,

Unfortunately, no. The tvrage API used xml while TVmaze uses JSON, so down to the core they're fundamentally incompatible. You'll have to rewrite your application to switch API's.

Thanks for the swift reply :)

Doh! I've just got to hope that at some point in the near future, the developer of AdvancedRenamer will update it!
