Media File Tools is a Python package designed to automate some of the tedious tasks of organizing your video files.

• Bulk rename TV series episodes that have undescriptive names.
• Create a TV show database with episode title, air date and plot summary.
• Create a movies database organized alphabetically or by folder.
• Find duplicate music files.
• Uses BeautifulSoup4 and Cinemagoer to scrape data from IMDB.

You can install media-file-tools using pip:

pip install media-file-tools

To create a csv file with the seasons, titles and plot summaries of a TV series:

from mediafiletools import make_seriesdb

make_seriesdb(imdb_id='tt0098904')

To overwrite the old file names of the show on your disc with the ones one the csv file:

from mediafiletools import rename_episodes

rename_episodes('C:\Users\user\Videos\Seinfeld', csv_path='C:\Users\user\episodes.csv')

Use caution with this command. Right now, this only looks for folders titled 'Season 1', 'Season 2', 'Season 3' etc. Any folders not following this naming convention will be skipped. The names of the files before and after they're renamed are recorded in a log.

To get the episodes and write the file names in one command, pass the imdb_id as a keyword to rename_episodes:

rename_episodes('C:\Users\user\Videos\Seinfeld', imdb_id='tt0098904')

Sometimes the episodes on IMDB are in a different order or have episode 0/unaired pilots not on a DVD or BlueRay. Make sure the episodes list lines up perfectly with the ones on your disc.

To specify which season(s) to get, pass the season numbers as the start and end keywords:

make_seriesdb(imdb_id='tt0098904', start=3, end=6)

To create an organized movie database from every movie file in the directory:

from mediafiletools import make_moviedb

make_moviedb('C:\Users\user\Movies')

Calling with no arguments will sort the movies alphabetically by default. To organize movies by folder instead, use the sort_type keyword:

make_moviedb('C:\Users\user\Movies', sort_type='folder')

To clean up the filenames, use the strip keyword:

make_moviedb('C:\Users\user\Movies', sort_type='folder', strip=True)

This will remove extraneous text from the filename. e.g. Double.Down.2005.DVDRip.x264.mkv will be written as: Double Down 2005

To find duplicate music files:

from mediafiletools import find_music_dupes

find_music_dupes(r'C:/Users/user/Music')

To output to the console or a text file instead of a csv, use the output_type keyword:

make_moviedb('C:\Users\user\Movies', output_type='txt')

Supported keywords are csv, txt and console.
