+# Rename TV Show files
+This program downloads episode names from http://thetvdb.com and adds them as a suffix to the appropriate files
+
+For this to work your file needs to contain the season and episode number (in accordance to thetvdb) in this format: S#E# (doesn't matter if lower or upper case)
+
+The program only supports the aired order so far
+
+This is a port of my project https://gitlab.com/zvon/tv_rename
+
+## Usage
+Enter the directory in which the files you want to rename are (you can have subdirectories with different seasons, just not different shows) and call the program
+
+Arguments:
+
+`-s, --show` - Name of the show
+
+`-n, --season` - Seasons to be renamed (numbers seperated by space or 'all' for all seasons in the directory and sub directories)
+
+`-sp, --show-path` - Path to the show's directory
+
+`-c, --correct-path` - Don't ask if path is correct
+
+`-t, --trust` - Don't prompt before changing file names
+
+`-x, --linux` - Don't replace characters that are ilegal in NTFS
+
+`-l, --lang` - Language of the episode titles
+
+`-p, --print_langs` - Print available languages
