GuessIt - a library for guessing information from video filenames.
Project description
GuessIt
GuessIt is a python library that extracts as much information as possible from a video filename.
It has a very powerful matcher that allows to guess properties from a video using its filename only. This matcher works with both movies and tv shows episodes.
For example, GuessIt can do the following:
$ guessit "Treme.1x03.Right.Place,.Wrong.Time.HDTV.XviD-NoTV.avi" For: Treme.1x03.Right.Place,.Wrong.Time.HDTV.XviD-NoTV.avi GuessIt found: { "title": "Treme", "season": 1, "episode": 3, "episode_title": "Right Place, Wrong Time", "format": "HDTV", "video_codec": "XviD", "release_group": "NoTV", "container": "avi", "mimetype": "video/x-msvideo", "type": "episode" }
More information are available at ReadTheDocs.
Migration note
GuessIt 2 has been rewriten from scratch. GuessIt is now a release name parser only, and support for additional features like hashes computations has been dropped.
To migrate from guessit 0.x or 1.x, please read migration.rst.
Install
Installing GuessIt is simple with pip:
$ pip install guessit
You can also install GuessIt from sources
Usage
GuessIt can be used from command line:
$ guessit usage: guessit [-h] [-t TYPE] [-n] [-Y] [-D] [-L ALLOWED_LANGUAGES] [-C ALLOWED_COUNTRIES] [-E] [-T EXPECTED_TITLE] [-G EXPECTED_GROUP] [-f INPUT_FILE] [-v] [-P SHOW_PROPERTY] [-a] [-j] [-y] [-p] [-V] [--version] [filename [filename ...]] positional arguments: filename Filename or release name to guess optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit Naming: -t TYPE, --type TYPE The suggested file type: movie, episode. If undefined, type will be guessed. -n, --name-only Parse files as name only, considering "/" and "\" like other separators. -Y, --date-year-first If short date is found, consider the first digits as the year. -D, --date-day-first If short date is found, consider the second digits as the day. -L ALLOWED_LANGUAGES, --allowed-languages ALLOWED_LANGUAGES Allowed language (can be used multiple times) -C ALLOWED_COUNTRIES, --allowed-countries ALLOWED_COUNTRIES Allowed country (can be used multiple times) -E, --episode-prefer-number Guess "serie.213.avi" as the episode 213. Without this option, it will be guessed as season 2, episode 13 -T EXPECTED_TITLE, --expected-title EXPECTED_TITLE Expected title to parse (can be used multiple times) -G EXPECTED_GROUP, --expected-group EXPECTED_GROUP Expected release group (can be used multiple times) Input: -f INPUT_FILE, --input-file INPUT_FILE Read filenames from an input text file. File should use UTF-8 charset. Output: -v, --verbose Display debug output -P SHOW_PROPERTY, --show-property SHOW_PROPERTY Display the value of a single property (title, series, video_codec, year, ...) -a, --advanced Display advanced information for filename guesses, as json output -j, --json Display information for filename guesses as json output -y, --yaml Display information for filename guesses as yaml output Information: -p, --properties Display properties that can be guessed. -V, --values Display property values that can be guessed. --version Display the guessit version.
It can also be used as a python module:
>>> from guessit import guessit >>> guessit('Treme.1x03.Right.Place,.Wrong.Time.HDTV.XviD-NoTV.avi') MatchesDict([('title', 'Treme'), ('season', 1), ('episode', 3), ('episode_title', 'Right Place, Wrong Time'), ('format', 'HDTV'), ('video_codec', 'XviD'), ('release_group', 'NoTV'), ('container', 'avi'), ('mimetype', 'video/x-msvideo'), ('type', 'episode')])
MatchesDict is a dict that keeps matches ordering.
Command line options can be given as dict or string to the second argument.
Docker
