mnamer 2.6.0

A command-line utility for organizing media files.

mnamer

mnamer (media renamer) is an intelligent and highly configurable media organization utility. It parses media filenames for metadata, searches the web to fill in the blanks, and then renames and moves them.

Currently it has integration support with TVDb and TvMaze for television episodes and TMDb and OMDb for movies.

💾 Installation

$ uv tool install mnamer or $ pip3 install --user mnamer

🤖 Automation

$ docker pull jkwill87/mnamer

✍️ Formatting

Using the episode-directory, episode-format, movie-directory, or movie-format settings you customize how your files are renamed. Variables wrapped in braces {} get substituted with of parsed values of template field variables.

🌐 Internationalization

Language is supported by the default TMDb and TVDb providers. You can use the --language setting to set the language used for templating.

mnamer also supports subtitle files (.srt, .idx, .sub). It will use the format pattern used for movie or episode media files with its extension prefixed by its 2-letter language code.
