Rename movies & tv files easily
A small python script to automatically rename movies & tv files
15 Dec 2020 ShowcasesAbout
Over the course of last night, I have made a small python script in order to organise future server projects when it comes to movies & tv. To this effort, I have created this “epname” script which allows easy reordering of video files, as long as they fit the following regex:
| Name | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Episode | e(pisode\|p(i)?)?( )*([0-9])*[0-9] |
| Season | s(e(ason)?)?( )*([0-9])*[0-9]( )? |
Using all files in the current directory matching these regex patterns, it allows this script to automatically rename these files into a rigid schema following this pattern:
[title]-e(0)[episode num]s(0)[season num]
So for example, both attack-on-titan-s01e01 and other-show-s20e2020 are correct according to this pattern, in line with many movie & tv sorting algorithms (such as VLC and plex).
Installation
Ensure your running Linux as this script only supports it, then clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/owez/epname
Once cloned, run the epname.py file like so:
$ python3 epname.py
This may differ depending on your linux enviroment!
