DateTime Rename using XML data

Hi

I record 4K Video files with a Sony Cam and want to rename the files with the actual recording date from the XML metadata

I want to have the Recording start date time and then the recording stop time.

So, for a 5 min exactly file that began recording on 27 June 2019 at 4.40 pm I'd like the filename to
appear as follows [with seconds]

2019-06-17 16-40 25 - 16-45 25.[ext]

What do I need to do to achieve this as a batch system to regular process groups of selected files in this format

Thanks in advance

Reply to #1:
I believe that the metadata should also exist within the video files themselves - have a look using the ExifTool button in Advance Renamer.

Otherwise you can parse lines from the XML files in order to rename the XML files - then use the results to rename the video files. Unfortunately Pair Renaming works the wrong way round so you would have to either temporarily change the file extensions or else use the List method to copy the renamed XML names and then transfer them to the video files.

Try ExifTool tags first - if it works it will be much easier.
