After you have added movies to your database you can rename the files to this pattern with the *"Check Database"* menu entry. +The movies are afterwards named like this: + +~~~ +Stirb Langsam IV (Part 2).avi +Spongebob - Lost in Time.mpg +Terminator II - Tag der Abrechnung (Part 1).avi +X-Men I.avi +X-Men Origins - Wolverine.avi +X-Men III.avi +Shadowless Sword (Part1).avi +Forrest Gump [Eng].mpg +Terminator II - Tag der Abrechnung [Ger] (Part 1).avi +~~~ +*(the exact rules, encoded as an [EBNF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form) can be found under the help menu)* + +Series have an unique folder per series (with the series name), after that a folder for each season and then files with the file name pattern `SxxExx - %name%`. For example: `S01E07 - You Win or You Die.avi` +You can create the folder structure for series by right clicking on a series and selecting *"Create folder structure"* + +Because series tend to become quite large you can also put them on their own external drive. +A special [format syntax](https://github.com/Mikescher/jClipCorn/wiki/Relative-paths) guarantees that the paths to these series stay valid. + +### First start + +First copy the executable (either jClipCorn.jar or jClipCorn.exe) into the folder where you have your movies, then execute it (it needs read and write permissions). + +On the first start it should create a folder "*ClipCornDB*" where the database is stored. + +![main-empty-metal](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/Mikescher/jClipCorn/FILES/main-empty-metal.png) + +You can see this in the log view (icon in the bottom status bar, to the right of the progress bar). + +![log-recreate](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/Mikescher/jClipCorn/FILES/log-recreate.png) + +At first you should look into the settings and eventually change a few things, important are: + + - UI Language + - Look'n'Feel (It's recommended to either use *Windows* or *Metal*) + - VLC Path (path to *vlc.exe*, for playing. You can also use another player - but it works best with the [VLC player](http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)) + - The backup settings (I recommend to **enable** automatic backups *(like every 7 days or so)*) + - Automatic relative paths (this should really stay active - otherwise paths will be absolute and everything can go havoc if ClipCorn runs on an external drive) + +After that you can start adding your movies and series. + +### Adding a movie + +####[(go to wiki)](https://github.com/Mikescher/jClipCorn/wiki/Add-new-movie) + +### User Interface + +####[(go to wiki)](https://github.com/Mikescher/jClipCorn/wiki/User-Interface) + +### Adding a series + +####[(go to wiki)](https://github.com/Mikescher/jClipCorn/wiki/Add-new-series) + +### Check Database for errors + +####[(go to wiki)](https://github.com/Mikescher/jClipCorn/wiki/Check-database) \ No newline at end of file
