cinefiles

Changelog

Organizes, indexes, and pulls relevant info for your movie library presented in a clean, locally-resourced, set of webpages.

NOTE:

I am reviving this project after a year off, its not currently working but I expect it to be working in the next few months (around JAN 2020)

Requirements

Python 3.5+
*nix operating system (Mac OS, Linux, etc) (This will be cross-platform by v2.0)

Installation

pip install cinefiles

Usage

Downloading to appropriatly named folders (each folder’s name is the name of the movie it holds) NOTE: Folders can contain subfolders with movies in them i.e. => “James Bond Movies/Goldeneye”

import cinefiles as cf
directory = "/Volumes/HDD/Movies"
search = cf.Cinefiles(searchfolder=directory)
search.run()

To rename folders automatically: see cinefolders the sister project to this (in progress)

(this can’t be undone automatically yet)

import cinefiles as cf
directory = "/Volumes/HDD/jumble_of_movies"
organize = cf.Cinefolders(searchfolder=directory)
organize.organizefolder()

Notes

If you change the name of any of your folders you'll have to run the run() function again to fix the links in the master index.htm
Any movies that aren't found are written into a 'cinefiles-misses.txt' file in the search folder. Add a correctly made link.xml to that movie folder (see examples folder), or rename that movie's folder to a better (more searchable) name.

What does cinefiles actually do:

cinefiles updates this folder…

Movies/
- Down Periscope/
  - movie.mp4
- Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)/
  - somecrazyunrelatedname.mkv
- Mulan (1998)/
  - mulan.mp4
- Pirate Movies/
  - Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End/
    - worldsend.mov
  - Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl/
    - blackpearl.mpv

… to have a structure like this:

Movies/
- index.htm
- Down Periscope/
  - index.htm
  - movie.mp4
- Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)/
  - index.htm
  - somecrazyunrelatedname.mkv
- Mulan (1998)/
  - index.htm
  - mulan.mp4
- Pirate Movies/
  - Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End/
    - index.htm
    - worldsend.mov
  - Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl/
    - index.htm
    - blackpearl.mpv

To remove all the added files:

import cinefiles as cf
clear_run = cf.Cinefiles(configfile='cinefiles.ini')
clear_run.clear_run.purgecinefiles()

What does cinefolders actually do: ================================

cinefiles updates this folder…

Movies/
- Manchester.by.the.Sea.2016.DVDScr.XVID.AC3.HQ.Hive-CM8.mkv
- mulan.mp4
- men who stare at goats, the.mp4

… to this!

Movies/

Manchester by the Sea (2016)/
- Manchester.by.the.Sea.2016.DVDScr.XVID.AC3.HQ.Hive-CM8.mkv
Mulan (1984)/
- mulan.mp4
Men who stare at goats, The/
- the_men_who_stare_at_goats.mp4

Which can conveniently then be properly parsed by cinefiles!
