mydehq is an independent open-source publisher whose single public utility, autotitle, addresses the quietly time-consuming chore of renaming recorded television episodes, podcast files, lecture captures, and other serial media. Written in cross-platform Python, autotitle ingests a folder of video or audio, queries public episode databases such as TheTVDB or TVmaze, and—without manual intervention—applies consistent, searchable filenames that include series name, season, episode number, and title. Typical use cases range from home-theater enthusiasts who archive nightly DVR exports to university IT staff who batch-rename semester-long lecture series before uploading them to a learning-management system; Plex, Jellyfin, and Kodi users especially value the way the tool eliminates the “missing metadata” warnings that prevent proper library scraping. Because autotitle operates headlessly through a simple CLI, it slots neatly into existing automated workflows: a single cron job or Windows Task Scheduler entry can rename last night’s recordings while the household sleeps, and the optional dry-run flag lets administrators preview changes before committing. Configuration is handled through a straightforward YAML file that maps file extensions to preferred naming schemes, leaving advanced users free to inject custom regex patterns or language codes. The codebase is MIT-licensed, accepts pull requests, and publishes signed releases on GitHub. mydehq’s autotitle is offered free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest upstream build, and can be queued alongside other applications for unattended batch installation.
