This is a collection of scripts for getting information about film and show files from TMDB, as well as a server for browsing and watching. These notes are made for a future me so are unlikely to be useful for anyone else. If you have any questions, please contact me.
To build install the standard go toolchain and run go build.
The posterplucker and getshow use xdg-open to open image files for viewing
so may fail if this or an image viewer is not installed on the system.
Currently os.Rename is used for moving files which just changes the hardlink and can't copy files from one partition to another. I decided not to fix this and just copy the directories I am working on to the same partition.
The media directory should be linked to ./media in serviam's the directory, then run the following.
./serviamThis script searches TMDB for the name of the files given,
creates a json file of the same name containing film information
and puts pictures associated with the films
in the directory called pictures.
If the film is a member of a collection,
it information about the collection and pictures of it will be downloaded
and put in a collections directory.
posterplucker/posterplucker $(cat misc/api_key) *.{mp4,mkv}where *.{mp4,mkv} finds returns the film files
and the apikey is stored in misc/api_key.
Usually neater to run from inside film folder as shown below. so output is contained.
pushd /path/to/films
~1/posterplucker/posterplucker $(cat ~1/misc/api_key) *.{mp4,mkv}Then follow the script prompts. The output is shown below.

This script takes the files json files created by the posterplucker script and moves the associated pictures and film files of the same name to the media directory. If a film is a member of a collection, it will make the collection if it doesn't already exist and add the film to the collection.
The script expects to be run in the same directory
as the posterplucker script;
It looks for local picture and collection directories in the same folder.
~1/posterplacer/posterplacer ../Videos/media/ *.jsonAll moved film's old data files will be placed into a directory called moved.
This script is essentially a combined posterplucker and posterplacer script for shows.
If episodes of the show already exists in the output media folder, you should answer yes when asked whether you have that season and pick a directory. (A random directory is fine if you don't want to add additional episodes.) If an episode is found to already exist, the script will use the files already present and not ask you for the episode files.
~1/getshow/getshow $(cat ~1/misc/api_key) Videos/media/ TheBoys/All scripts are designed so that you can stop the script (Ctrl-C) and run it again. The script will just pick up where it left off. Occationally you will have to move the files from the film or episode the script was on when it stopped, back to their original directories.
