In reading your documentation, I see that you have these values, but I am unsure how to utilize them.

/go/bin/media-sort --tv-template "./<title>/<title> SE." -w -r --tv-dir /data/tv --movie-dir /data/movie /data/completed

This gave me:

2016/07/31 05:08:51 [#20/24] /data/completed/MYSHOW - The Complete Season 7 [HDTV]/MYSHOW S07E20.mp4
└─> File already exists '/data/tv/.--title---title- S-season-E-episode-.-ext-' (try setting --overwrite)

If you could give an example for how to create the template, that would be splendid.

Thanks!

hello,

i would prefer an option to switch to parent directory name for search and rename.

scene releases are named in a short version, so media-sort could not find the right information.

for example:

2016/11/24 14:52:20 [#29/52] Mr.Right.2015.German.720p.BluRay.x264-ENCOUNTERS/encounters-mrri_720p.mkv
└─> No results (Google search failed)

filename: encounters-mrri_720p.mkv -> no chance to get the right information
parent dir name: Mr.Right.2015.German.720p.BluRay.x264-ENCOUNTERS -> all information are here

with correct file names it works like a charm:

2016/11/24 14:52:20 [#32/52] Pixels.2015.German.DTS.DL.720p.BluRay.x264-HQX/Pixels.2015.German.DTS.DL.720p.BluRay.x264-HQX.mkv
└─> Pixels (2015).mkv

So i use at the moment a work arround via bash, but it is an ugly way to do this:

find . -type f -not -name test.sh | while read file
do
    dirname="$(dirname "$file")"
    new_name="${dirname##*/}"
    file_ext=${file##*.}
    if [ -n "$file_ext" -a  -n "$dirname" -a -n "$new_name" ]
    then
        echo "mv '$file' '$dirname/$new_name.$file_ext'"
    fi
done

Not sure if this is an issue, or just my ignorance. But I run this against a directory containing .wav and .mp3 files and I get this:
No sortable files found (1064 files checked

My command line is media-sort -r -e -d Music

media-sort detection is actually not working as in the past.

For example:

The.Originals.S04E01.German.DL.DUBBED.720p.BluRay.x264-AIDA.mkv 
[...]
The.Originals.S04E08.German.DL.DUBBED.720p.BluRay.x264-AIDA.mkv

detection for The Originals worked 2 months ago perfect. Actually detection not working. Even for many movies. I updated media-sort to 2.2.0 because of omdb api key change.

Is this a problem with omdb change and what is a acceptable solution for this?

Hello,
Im not sure if this is a feature or a request but when matching certain movies special characters get wiped instead of being replaced and that really lowers match score

example:
'Sedm pěstí - Spiritual Kung-Fu(1978)(Remastered)' -> 'sedm p st spiritual kung fu 1978 remastered'
but instead you could output
'Sedm pěstí - Spiritual Kung-Fu(1978)(Remastered)' -> 'sedm pesti spiritual kung fu 1978'

that example shows my next issue/request

remastered can be stripped from names as it does not help on lookups

Thanks again, Otherwise a great tool

I am trying to use media-sort on my raspberry pi 4, but after successful installation, when I try to run media-sort, I get the following error:

-bash: /usr/local/bin/media-sort: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

For easier traversals of directories on my CLI I like to have file/directory names with '.' in place of whitespace (i.e. the.simpsons).

Is there a way to alter the 'name' variable such that whitespace is replaced by another character?

Hello,

I'm not familiar with go templating syntax. Could you provide an example for generating a Plex-compatible directory structure?

I'm passing "{{ .Name }}/{{ .Name }} S{{ printf \"%02d\" .Season }}E{{ printf \"%02d\" .Episode }}" but slashes are converted to -.

Hi there, do you have any interest in offering a snap package? If so, I can assist in getting one build and wiring it up to your repo to auto-build, etc.

Some movies when packages keep their subtitles in a Subs directory, especially those packaged by RARBG, for example:

ls Hotel.Transylvania.2012.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG/*
Hotel.Transylvania.2012.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG/Hotel.Transylvania.2012.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG.mp4

Hotel.Transylvania.2012.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG/Subs:
23_English.srt

Is it possible to give the option to recursively search for subtitle files and parse them as if they were in the movie's directory?

Hello there, great project really enjoying things so far.

I've noticed that when processing files the default is to move (which is fine), but I'd like an option to be able to copy files instead so I'm able to leave them seeding in my torrent client. I just plan on just skipping files that have already been processed.

Is this a possibility?

Hello, me again.

I'm having an issue sorting some anime filenames, this has happened a couple of times and is caused by the naming convention some anime releases have.

An example filename would be:

[Hakata Ramen] Dr. Stone (Season 1) [1080p x265]/[Hakata Ramen] Dr. Stone 12 [1080p x265].mkv

The releaser in brackets and the lack of series number in the filename is causing the lookup to be incorrect.
If I remove the releaser and add a series number with mmv "\[Hakata Ramen\] Dr. Stone *" "Dr. Stone S01E#1" the detection works fine.

Hello,

while looking for an automatic media file renamer, I came across this great command line tool. I am almost sure that I can do everything I need with this. However, the documentation is too scarce and there are too few examples.

MY wish for a movie template path:
/my/path/movies/{char}/Movie (Year)/Movie.ext

If first char of the source is one of A to Z (or a-z) then add this char, if its a digit add a hash tag # and if something else add a underscore.

I tried something like as movie template but I don't know the syntax:

/my/path/Movies/{{ if .Name[0:1] >= 'A' And .Name[0:1] <= 'Z' }} Then {{ .Name[0:1] }} Else {{ # }}/{{ .Name }} ({{ .Year }})/{{ .Name }}.{{ .Ext }}

How could this be done?
What if I need further help? Is this the right way to ask for help or is there another way I have overlooked?

Thanks in advance :-)

Kind regards
Bjoern

Until this is fixed, you'll see omdb Error: ttXXXXXX: No API key provided.

Just wondering if there's a way to alter the script that generates sub-directories to have different permissions (i.e. read/write, read only, etc)

Hey there.

The regular expression in charge of invalid characters removal (this one) is a bit too aggressive for some characters such as accentuated ones, cedilla, amperstand, etc.

A dummy way around would be to include these characters in the invalidChars regexp.
A prettier solution is to use the unicode character property class which seems to be included in Go regexp module.

What do you think about it?

Edit: related class is \p{L}

Install command:

go get -v github.com/jpillora/media-sort

Even w/ the accurate turned way down it seems to fail for results I'd think would be pretty easy

I also noticed that it only appears to be searching google and not IMDB or anything... Am I doing anything wrong?

Background

The github.com/jpillora/media-sort uses Go modules and the current release version is v2. And it’s module path is "github.com/jpillora/media-sort", instead of "github.com/jpillora/media-sort/v2". It must comply with the specification of "Releasing Modules for v2 or higher" available in the Modules documentation. Quoting the specification:

A package that has opted in to modules must include the major version in the import path to import any v2+ modules
To preserve import compatibility, the go command requires that modules with major version v2 or later use a module path with that major version as the final element. For example, version v2.0.0 of example.com/m must instead use module path example.com/m/v2.
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#releasing-modules-v2-or-higher

Steps to Reproduce

GO111MODULE=on, run go get targeting any version >= v2.3.0 of the jpillora/media-sort:

$ go get github.com/jpillora/[email protected]
go: finding github.com/jpillora/media-sort v2.3.0
go: finding github.com/jpillora/media-sort v2.3.0
go get github.com/jpillora/[email protected]: github.com/jpillora/[email protected]: invalid version: module contains a go.mod file, so major version must be compatible: should be v0 or v1, not v2

SO anyone using Go modules will not be able to easily use any newer version of jpillora/media-sort.

Solution

1. Kill the go.mod files, rolling back to GOPATH.

This would push them back to not being managed by Go modules (instead of incorrectly using Go modules).
Ensure compatibility for downstream module-aware projects and module-unaware projects projects

2. Fix module path to strictly follow SIV rules.

Patch the go.mod file to declare the module path as github.com/jpillora/media-sort/v2 as per the specs. And adjust all internal imports.
The downstream projects might be negatively affected in their building if they are module-unaware (Go versions older than 1.9.7 and 1.10.3; Or use third-party dependency management tools, such as: Dep, glide,govendor…).

If you don't want to break the above repos. This method can provides better backwards-compatibility.
Release a v2 or higher module through the major subdirectory strategy: Create a new v2 subdirectory (github.com/jpillora/media-sort/v2) and place a new go.mod file in that subdirectory. The module path must end with /v2. Copy or move the code into the v2 subdirectory. Update import statements within the module to also use /v2 (import "github.com/jpillora/media-sort/v2/…"). Tag the release with v2.x.y.

3. Suggest your downstream module users use hash instead of a version tag.

If the standard rule of go modules conflicts with your development mode. Or not intended to be used as a library and does not make any guarantees about the API. So you can’t comply with the specification of "Releasing Modules for v2 or higher" available in the Modules documentation.
Regardless, since it's against one of the design choices of Go, it'll be a bit of a hack. Instead of go get github.com/jpillora/media-sort@version-tag, module users need to use this following way to get the jpillora/media-sort:
(1) Search for the tag you want (in browser)
(2) Get the commit hash for the tag you want
(3) Run go get github.com/jpillora/media-sort@commit-hash
(4) Edit the go.mod file to put a comment about which version you actually used
This will make it difficult for module users to get and upgrade jpillora/media-sort.

Summary

You can make a choice to fix DM issues by balancing your own development schedules/mode against the affects on the downstream projects.

For this issue, Solution 2 can maximize your benefits and with minimal impacts to your downstream projects the ecosystem.
