Adding TV capabilities #25

Hi! First off, thank you for maintaining this project — it’s been incredibly helpful for teaching me how this all works.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I’m setting up a simplified ripping system for an older friend who isn’t very technical. I’ve been learning and using ChatGPT to automate parts of it. The autorip setup works great for full automation, but in our case, we use manual desktop shortcuts like “Rip Movie” and “Rip TV.”
For TV discs, we’d love the process to automatically name and organize episodes into proper folders, instead of having to rename and move them manually.

Describe the solution you'd like
A “TV mode” or similar option that:

Rips all episode-length titles (e.g. 20–60 min).

Accepts or prompts for show name, season number, and starting episode.

Automatically renames and sorts files, e.g.:

D:\TV\The Sopranos\Season 1\The Sopranos - S01E01.mkv
D:\TV\The Sopranos\Season 1\The Sopranos - S01E02.mkv

Optionally runs a post-process step (MKVToolNix, metadata cleanup, etc.).

This would make the tool perfect for semi-automated, user-friendly setups — especially for people who just click “Rip TV” and let it handle everything else.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I rip with MakeMKV and rename/move files manually. I’ve tested PowerShell scripts with ChatGPT’s help, but a built-in “TV mode” would make the workflow much cleaner and easier for less technical users.

Interface Scope

CLI only

Priority

High – Important for my workflow

Implementation Willingness

I can help test the feature

I can provide feedback during development

Additional context
This would really help anyone setting up simple one-click ripping systems for friends or family who just want things to “work.” I’m happy to share screenshots, logs, or test results as development continues. I know how hard getting into features and extras and tv shows is proving to be I just thought I would put something up to see what you had to say about it. Thank you again as always
