Kodi Rename
Utility for renaming video files from a kodi library.
Over the years of ripping my DVD collection into Kodi, I have not had the best practices with the naming of the files. Leading to a mess of naming schemes having files that will not parse and have had to manually update the information in Kodi.
Now with looking to update my home media setup and not having enough will power to manually update all of my collection. Here we are
Installation and usage
Installation
kodiRename can be installed by running pip install kodi-rename, It requires Python 3.11+ to run.
If you want the latest changes and want to install from Gitlab, use pip install git+https://gitlab.com/thedrunkencoder/kodi-rename
Usage
To get started generate a configuration file
kodiRename init
You can also run kodiRename as a package if running as a script doesn't work
python3 -m kodiRename init
After updating the generated configuration file. Collect all the information from Kodi
kodiRename collect
Perform the rename
kodiRename rename
Once all is done, you can delete the left over folders
kodiRename clean
Configuration
All configuration is provided via a TOML configuration file.
All the commands support providing the configuration file rather than loading the default location
kodiRename -c other_config.ini init
Future Ideas
Some idea that have been floating around in my head since starting to properly work on this project. That may or may not end up being integrated in.
Support for other media servers
Getting support for other media server such as Plex and JellyFin, as this issue is not limited to Kodi. This will most likely require a rewrite of the collector module to parse the APIs and parse the data into the correct format.
Integration with metadata providers
Collecting information from metadata providers such as TheTVDb to either expand on the options for naming media. Or rather than collecting the data from Kodi, attempting to parse from these databases so that the project could be used as the last step in a ripping/transcoding pipeline.
