Batch Renaming Media Files on Aliyun Drive

The usual state of an Aliyun Drive library

Save-to-drive media usually keeps release-group filenames with year, season, episode and codec jumbled together; one show is scattered over several folders; subtitles do not match their video filenames. The result is no metadata and no subtitles in the player.

Connecting via the official open platform OAuth

VRenamer uses Aliyun Drive's official open platform and signs in to your own account over OAuth. It is not a third-party WebDAV bridge, and you do not enable WebDAV on the web first.

• Add an Aliyun Drive file source in VRenamer and tap Add
• The official Aliyun Drive authorization page opens in-app; sign in and approve (file read/write scope)
• You return to the app automatically; tokens are stored locally and refresh when they expire
• Browse the drive (backup / resource / default) and pick the media folders interactively

If authorization expires or is revoked, tap Re-authorize on the file source and run the official flow again; nothing else is affected. Because the app holds the official write scope, renaming goes through official endpoints with full capability.

Order of operations for a batch rename

• Scan first so VRenamer builds the file list and separates videos from subtitles
• Review the AI matches, paying extra attention to same-title and remake cases
• Use manual matching where unsure, then rename
• Subtitles are renamed with their video, keeping the pairing intact
• Turn on keep-extra-information in format settings if you want resolution tags kept

Getting cloud files onto your media wall

The organized folders mount into Infuse, Emby, Plex and Jellyfin via Aliyun Drive's official WebDAV or similar. With clean naming, those players scrape without downloading anything, so a cloud drive behaves like a local library. VRenamer talks to the drive over the official open platform API — mounting it in a player is a separate path.
