renaming OVA/OAD episodes title

Anime Entry Types That Typically Only Have One (1) Regular Episode Entry

These anime entries typically only have 1 regular episode entry (regular episode type, meaning S episodes are excluded):

1. OVA/OAD
2. Movie
3. Music Video
4. Web Series (when used to release an OVA/OAD, Movie, or Music Video; does not apply to Web Series used to release a TV series)

For these anime entries, when it only has 1 regular-type episode entry, the episode title is added to anime entry's title and not the episode entry's title; the entry's single episode title follows default rules as outlined above.

1. Generally, this rule applies only for cases when there are one (Hajimete no Gal: Hajimete no Bunkasai) or two (Koi to Uso: Isshou no Koi / Koi no Kimochi) episode titles for the single episode release.
2. In rare cases when there are more than 2 (Tottoko Hamtarou: Anime Dechu!) episode titles, do not add them to the OVA/OAD's anime title; they are added like usual to the episode entry's title.

As far as I know, there's no way to change episode title and my single-episode OVA's titles look like this:

I would like to change OVA to series title - in this case to Teishi Kyoushitsu no Vampire - Oppai, Tsutsumimasu!.

Additionally the server could automatically rename the episode title in the same way as it renames files.

To achieve what I want the renamers should have access to information about series relations:
OVA series name	Hajimete no Gal: My First School Festival
prequel/base series name	Hajimete no Gal
new OVA series name	My First School Festival

The renaming rules could also be added to season titles. In my case I would like to rename the old High School DxD New: Teishi Kyoushitsu no Vampire - Oppai, Tsutsumimasu! to High School DxD New OVA. This case also requires the information about series relations. For now I can do it manually but it would be convenient if it was done automatically.

TL;DR

Add support for:

• manually renaming episodes (like you can do with series)
• renamers for episode titles (like for file names)
• *renamers for series titles

Manually renaming episodes - not high priority, but I'd say worth it to add Renamers for things that aren't files - it wouldn't be built in, but with the modularity and events for plugins that we are adding bit by bit, it could be done via plugins. I don't think it's worth it to make a whole system for renaming things via script.

Cool, could you post info on this issue when there will be progress with the functionality?

Does the current plugin system provide everything I need to build such a plugin? I would like to write a plugin if that's possible.

Not yet. We are slowly building out the plugin system's capabilities. It's quite new

[papaj-na-wrotkach]

Okay, I'll close this issue and open a new one - specifically for the manual episode renaming functionality. Later I'll check what can I write with existing plugin system and if there's something worth adding/re-implementing I'll open another issue.

[papaj-na-wrotkach]

Where should I open the issue? In this repo or in ShokoDesktop repo?

[da3dsoul]

That would go in Server

Renamers have access to relations

Different relations @revam. Those were song relations, which we don't have
