= movie-renamer
A simple command line interface to rename movies in a folder and get your movies collection organized!
It works in an interactive way and uses imdb gem to query imdb about current movie trying to obtain useful infos
to see the usage type
$ movie-renamer -h
Usage: movie-renamer [-i|-s|-f|-h|-p] <folder>
Default behavior is -f on current working directory
-h, --help Display this help
-i, --imdb Executes a query on imdb on <movie name>
-s, --singlemovie FILE Acts on a single movie file <file name>
-f, --folder FOLDER Acts on whole folder <folder>
-p, --path PATH path for moving renamed movies default is tmp/ in current working directory
== NOTE: Imdb site recently changed layout hence the imdb gem that movie-renamer uses for the search doesn't give good results anymore I don't have the time to fix the imdb gem or change it and use another database but I'm willing to accept pull requests :) Sorry for the inconvenience
== How it works
Default behavior is to scan the current working directory. For each movie in the folder a question about what to do is asked.
Then movie is renamed using input provided by the user. You can query imdb using the filename or enter use manual search
Each renamed movie is moved into a tmp/ subfolder of the current working directory or in the folder specified with the -p option
By default Movies are renamed like this:
$year - $director - $title partXX.file_extension
You can set the rename pattern creating a .movie-renamer file in your home
example: filename: ($year) - $title - $director
=== Multilangual support Optionally a language for the search can be set in .movie-renamer file language: it
all languages supported by imdb are available, simply set the language option to the website .part link www.imdb.it -> it
In this case search will return the complete title but then just the title in the selected language will be writed in the filename
Please NOTE that multilanguage support REQUIRES an UTF-8 enabled terminal to work correctly
=== Change default savepath savepath: /home/ghedamat/movies
Setting this variable you can change the default savepath to save in the same path all the renamed movies. The behavior is the same as with -p option.
=== Add a pattern to parse movie filenames If option "parsepattern" is set the pattern is used to parse movie filenames trying to detect $director $title and $year parsepattern: $year - $director - $title
== Notes on install movie-renamer requires ruby1.9 to work correctly gem dependencies also includes
imdb gem
htmlentities gem
highline gem
also ensure that you have the gem installation path in your $PATH to use the included executables
== Note on Patches/Pull Requests You are encouraged to provide help in developing this simple but useful (I hope) application!
