media_organizer

A set of python scripts to rename movies and tv shows.

This project is used and tested under Linux and is ideal to be used from something like a Raspberry Pi or a Linux based NAS. If you want to help me to get it to work under Windows, please contribute.

Run

Clone the repo, setup config file (see below) and run interface.py.

moviesort

Detect movie names by querying themoviedb.org API and renaming the file based on a selection of possible matches. Follow the config file instructions bellow to get your API key.

All data is courtesy of The Movie Database, please contribute to this excellent database.

Movies will get renamed to this nameing style, a more flexible solution is in pending:
{movie-name} {Year}/{movie-name} {Year}.{ext}

tvsort

Detect tv show filenames by querying the publicly available tvmaze.com API to identify the show name and the episode name based on a selection of possible matches.

Episodes are named in this style, a more flexible solution is in pending:
{show-name}/Season {nr}/show-name - S{nr}E{nr} - {episode-name}.{ext}
