Renaming Recordings on the Wiz

[BobS]

I have a Wiz V2 and using Windows 11

I have many recordings that are all for the same Program but different Series/Episode.
I have the Series# / Episode# on my PC and I'd like to modify the Recording name by adding a suffix eg _S21E05

I know I can do it manually via OpenWebIf, but I'd like to do it automatically via my program.
Is there a Command line utility or Nuget Package that I could use ?
I can see the Movie folder in Windows Explorer (via the Network) but each Recording is made up of several files, I'm not sure I should be renaming them this way ??

Thanks,
BobS

The displayed name for recordings isn't the file name, it's the second line in the recording's .meta file.

You need to change that line to change the recording name.

Thanks Peter,
Exactly what I was after, I assume I can edit this line without causing any problems

The file has Unix style line endings - a single <LF> to terminate a line, not DOS/Windows line endings (<CR><LF>). If you use an editor that preserves the original line endings, then it should be fine. If the line endings are converted to Windows style by the editor, it might cause problems with display of the title (but most likely not).

I think Notepad++ should do the job. Windows Notepad not.

As an alternative, the web interface API provides an endpoint for renaming recordings.

See: source code

You need to pass two arguments:

• sRef is the service reference of the recording
• newname is the new name.
