mnamer 1.4.1

A media file organiser

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.

Installation

Stable Version

$ pip install mnamer

Development Version

$ pip install https://github.com/jkwill87/mnamer/archive/develop.zip

Notes

If you want to install it using system python (e.g. the one that comes with your OS, not really recommended) and get a permission error you need to use either sudo -H pip ... or pip install --user ....

Usage

mnamer target [targets ...] [options] [directives]

Options

mnamer attempts to load options from mnamer.json in the user's configuration directory, .mnamer.json in the current working directory, and then from the command line, also overriding each other in that order.

Option	Arguments	Description
-b, --batch		batch mode; disables interactive prompts
-s, --scene		scene mode; replace non ascii-alphanumerics with .
-r, --recurse		show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose		increases output verbosity
--blacklist	pattern	ignore files including these words
--max_hits	number	limits the maximum number of hits for each query
--extension_mask	extention(s)	define the extension mask used by the the file parser
--movie_api	imdb or tmdb	set movie api provider
--movie_destination	path	set movie relocation destination
--movie_template	template	set movie renaming template
--television_api	tvdb	set television api provider
--television_destination	path	set television relocation destination
--television_template	template	set television renaming template

Directives

Whereas options configure how mnamer works, directives are one-off parameters that are used to perform secondary tasks like exporting the current option set to a file.

Option	Arguments	Description
--config_load	path	import configuration from file
--config_save	path	save configuration to file
--id	id	explicitly specify movie or series id
--media	movie or television	override media detection
--test_run		mocks the renaming and moving of files

Configuration Files

In addition to the option argument flags listed above, mnamer can also be configured via JSON configuration file(s). These are loaded and applied from the following locations, in the following order:

1. As .mnamer.json within the current working directory (e.g. ./.mnamer.json)
2. As mnamer.json from within the user config directory (e.g. ~/.config/mnamer.json)
3. As .mnamer.json from the user home directory (e.g. ~/.mnamer.json)
4. Any path explicitly passed using the --load_config directive

Templating

You have complete control of how media files are renamed using mnamer's template options:

• you can use templating with the following options: television_destination, television_template, movie_destination, movie_template
• metadata fields prefixed with a sigil $ found inside angle brackets with the result of a match
• any leading or trailing whitespace will be trimmed
• if a field can't be matched, the entire contents of the bracket are disregared

Example: SxE Episodes Format

• television_template: <$series - >< - $seasonx><$episode - >< - $title><$extension>
• target: ~/Downloads/Rick.and.Morty.S02E01.WEBRip.x264-RARBG.mp4
• result: ~/Downloads/Rick and Morty - 02x01 - A Rickle in Time.mp4

Example: Missing Metadata

Note: Target file is missing group metadata field in title and will be omitted gracefully

• television_template: <$series - >< - S$season><E$episode - >< - $group - >< - $title><$extension>
• target: ~/Downloads/The.Orville.S01E01.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H264-RARBG.mkv
• result: ~/Downloads/The Orville - S01E01 - Old Wounds.mkv

Example: Subdirectories

Note: If the subdirectory doesn't exist, mnamer will create it

• movie_template: <$title ><($year)><$extension>
• movie_destination: /media/movies/<$title ><($year)>
• target: ~/Downloads/The.Goonies.1985.720p.BluRay.x264-SiNNERS.mkv
• result: /media/movies/The Goonies (1985)/The Goonies (1985).mkv
