How do I add Info to My TV Shows from Filename

I have 30 different TV series on my computer that I'd like to play on my ATV3. When I add the videos the process to get them into TV shows is this:
Add folder to library
Move the TV Shows I added from Home Videos to the TV Shows Section
Get Info for every episode in the Unknown TV Show and change it to proper name of show
Select all the episodes in each season and Get Info to add a Season #
Manually add Title and Episode Number
I don't have time to go through 1000+ TV shows under these steps. Is there anyway to derive these tags from file names?
My current naming structure for TV Shows is:
     ShowName - S00E00 - (DateReleased) - Title
I really want to use ATV with the media on my computer, but so far iTunes has severely limited that

It doesn't have this feature, however, I can suggest the very good FilmTag: http://filmtagapp.com, which will analyse the file based on it's name.
I use it and it really adds all the details, and it has an auto mode, so it's really worth it. It works for films and TV shows.
for example, I ripped this from a DVD of mine, added just "The lion King" and it detected automatically:

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.<br />
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.

    for an appletv to access files directly from an time capsule it can only! access a shared lib from itunes from a computer running and running itunes

    Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???

    Having the app is irrelevant.
    The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen.  If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done.

  • When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

    When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

    How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)?    I tried backup & restore without success.  I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there.  Only the text that I entered shows.  I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

    UPDATE:  By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored.  When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer.  Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location).  No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact.  I am appreciative that I just got lucky.  The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help.  If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product.  Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed. 
    Bottom line:  All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer.  I hope my experience helps others. 

  • HT4539 how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc

    how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc or to nas drive because my apple tv storage is full

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Did you try restarting the router.
    Are you trying to watch them from the internet or a library on a computer.

  • How do i add purchased apps, songs and Tv from one i tunes account on a laptop to my i phone, WITHOUT having to delete all of my items downloaded from my other account on my home PC?  If it is not possible, anybody know how i'd go about getting a refund?

    When i link the phone to the laptaop, it shows all of the stuff stored on it, but will not let me add any more downloads without first deleting eveything off it - which defeats the purpose.  Any ideas as to how i can add these new downloads to my phone without wiping everything else??  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Thats great Allan - only recently purchased an external drive so will try to transfer via that, or borrow a cable and try and link them up.
    Its weird as it would let me use the shared files function to shift the new aps onto the phone, but not the audio or video files.  Will give the suggested solutions ago and hopefully that'll do the trick.
    Really appreciate your assistance - 
    warm regards

  • Noobie question: How do I add something to the display list from a non-main class?

    I know how to use addChild() within the main class to add
    something to the stage display list and have it appear on the
    screen, but how do I add something to the stage display list from
    code within another class?
    So for example say I want to add some text (myTextField) to
    the stage's display list from within NotTheMainClass' code, could
    you give an example of the necessary code?

    you must pass a reference to a display list object or create
    one that's available to your class.
    there are so many ways to do this i'm not sure how you want
    to proceed. but you can create a globally available reference to
    the stage and root timeline:
