Hi,

i am searching for a fotware, preferred Linux CLI based to host on my Server.
I am recording Movies and TV Shows from TV and via Audials. But Audials is not that great in naming the Files correctly.

Is there a tool to rename a media File (Movie or Episode) to the correct Name including Episode # and Season # in case of tv show?

something like radarr etc but only for renaming.
i found https://github.com/dbr/tvnamer but it needs a correct episode and season in the name already.
something like musicbrainz picard for music but only for videos (movies / tv shows)

Thanks for your help

    What sort of data is Audial giving you? Depending on what you have to work with, this could be pretty easy to whip up in Python or whatever. There are already libraries for extracting garbled media titles and then it’d just need to be matched with an API like tmdb. But if you’re looking for something that will actually analyze the video length/content and match it that’s a much more complex task.

      its giving me .mkv files (because i choosed to).

      filenames can be anything from just amazon.com.mkv if it cant get the title correctly or episode 1 season 2 of any kind. but this can be messed up, thats the problem.

      because of the messed up part… i hoped to have a chance to analyse the video itself (like picard does with audio) and correct the titles.

      thanks, thats working “ok” so far.

      Just googled a bit and found a modified version which is standalone mode and doesnt require a license :D
      its build out of the older source code when this project was opensource and is streamlined to newest updates.

        Yes - filebot was free to use in the past. However, that version may have outdated integrations.

        I would recommend purchasing the paid version, $6 for a year or $48 for a lifetime! Completely worth it.

          There is a free version which is up to date, headed on the old source code. So up to date but free and source available on GitHub.

      sadly its only looking at the filmename itself, there is no checking of the mediafile itself like musicbrainz does.

      but i guess this is not available for videos right now.
