A small project called to develop some python scripts to aid in archiving SiliconDust HDHomerun DVR recordings to plex. It uses the thetvdb for season and episode information for when the guide from SiliconDust doesn't.

Prerequisites

• Python (2.6+)
• tvdb_api tvdb_api

Current Status
At this stage scripts are still in development and dependent on updates from SiliconDust.
The parse-folder.py is now parked once Silicondust added the feature for the DVR recorder to save to separate folders. I will hopefully get to this again soon.
The fix_filenames.py iterates through all the files in the HDHR recordings folder, scans the TS file for meta data and then does a look up on thetvdb for missing info before renaming the file to match Plex requirements (and optionally the folder).

Tested Platforms
QNAP-x51 with QTS 4.1.4/4.2 (linux)

Usage

$ python fix-filenames.py --config <config file>
