Plex Footage Sorter
A simple script to process android phone footage default names into plex-friendly filename
Description
This package bundles a set of tools for renaming and/or moving files from various sources into plex-friendly patterns. Most of these are highly specific.
Renaming phone footage as date-based series
Android phones (and possible iPhones, we haven't checked) name video files in the format YYYYMMDD_SSSSSS.EXT
.
Plex can interpret video files as a date-based tv series if they are named in the format SERIESNAME-YYYY-MM-DD[ - PartX].EXT
.
This tool is designed for the case where you take a lot of phone footage that you want to organise into a chronological series.
We use it for organising our videos of our progress at learning various activities.
To use this utility, dump all of the relevant footage into a folder, and run
plex-footage-sorter date-based SERIESNAME
Caveat - Part Naming
We number parts consecutively for a single day. If there are more videos for that day that are not in the folder, the part numbering will be wrong. We might fix this at a later date.
Renaming Movpilot downloads as season-based series
Movpilot downloads of series episodes do not fit plex structures. For example, downloads from Amazon Prime follow the structure:
root
└── Castlevania
├── 1
| ├── Witchbottle
| | └── S01E001_witchbottle.mp4
| └── Necropolis
| └── S01E002_necropolis.mp4
| └── S01E002_necropolis.srt
└── 2
└── Old Homes
└── S02E002_old_homes.mp4
and netflix downloads:
root
└── Castlevania
├── Season 1
| └── Witchbottle
| └── S01E001_witchbottle.mp4
└── Season 2
└── Old Homes
└── S02E002_old_homes.mp4
whereas Plex would expect these to look like:
root
└── Castlevania
├── Season01
| ├── Castlevania - S01E01 - witchbottle.mp4
| ├── Castlevania - S01E02 - necropolis.mp4
| └── Castlevania - S01E02 - necropolis.srt
└── Season02
└── Castlevania - S02E02 - old homes.mp4
Renaming these by hand is tedious, so we have developed the movpilot-series
utility.
To use this utility, run
plex-footage-sorter movpilot-series
in the root directory.
