SMA Conversion/Tagging Automation Script

==============



**Automatically converts media files downloaded by various programs to a standardized format, and tags them with the appropriate metadata from TMDB if the container supports tagging.**



![The Matrix](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3608298/76170063-e415c300-6154-11ea-88cd-d26653a47cc5.PNG)

- https://hub.docker.com/r/mdhiggins/sonarr-sma

- https://hub.docker.com/r/mdhiggins/radarr-sma



General Configuration

--------------

1. Download or compile FFmpeg 

2. Install [requirements/dependencies](#dependencies)

3. Rename `setup\autoProcess.ini.sample` to `autoProcess.ini` and place inside your `config` directory (or attempt to run the script which will generate a new config file if absent)

4. Set the [configuration options](https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator/wiki/autoProcess-Settings) to your desired output and include the path of your new FFmpeg / FFprobe binaries

5. Run [manual.py](#manual-script-usage) and test out a conversion

6. Configure direct integration using the instructions below



Sonarr Setup

--------------

1. Set your [Sonarr settings](https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator/wiki/autoProcess-Settings#sonarr) in autoProcess.ini

2. Browse to the Settings>Download Client tab and enable advanced settings [Show].

3. Setup the postSonarr.py script via Settings > Connect > Connections > + (Add)

    - `name` - postSonarr

    - `On Grab` - No

    - `On Download` \ `On Import` - Yes

*Not required if using Completed Download Handling with Sonarr/Radarr*



Plex Notification

--------------

Send a Plex notification as the final step when all processing is completed. This feature prevents a file from being flagged as "in use" by Plex before processing has completed.

1. Disable automatic refreshing on your Plex server

    - `Settings > Server > Library` and disable `Update my library automatically` and `Update my library periodically`.

3. Set your [Plex settings](https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator/wiki/autoProcess-Settings#plex) in autoProcess.ini



If you have secure connections enabled with Plex you will need to add your local IP addresss that the refresh requests are coming from to allow them to trigger the refresh, otherwise you will get an HTTP error. You can alternatively not force encryption by changing `Secure Connections` from `Required` to `Preferred` but this is not recommended as its less secure.

Override Configuration Path

--------------

If for some reason you need to override the path to autoProcess.ini (for virtual environments, containers, etc) you can use the environment variable `SMA_CONFIG` to the absolute path



Post Process Scripts

--------------

- See https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator/blob/master/post_process/post_process.md



Manual Script Usage

--------------

To run the script manually, simply run the manual.py file and follow the prompts it presents.

If you wish to run it via the command line (good for batch operations) follow this format:



```

Help output

manual.py -h

usage: manual.py [-h] [-i INPUT] [-a] [-tv TVDBID] [-s SEASON] [-e EPISODE]

                 [-imdb IMDBID] [-tmdb TMDBID] [-nm] [-nc] [-nd]

```



Examples

```

Movies (using IMDB ID):

manual.py -i mp4path -imdb imdbid

Example: manual.py -i "C:\The Matrix.mkv" -imdb tt0133093



Movies (using TMDB ID)

manual.py -i mp4path -tmdb tmdbid

Example: manual.py -i "C:\The Matrix.mkv" -tmdb 603



TV

manual.py -i mp4path -tvdb tmbdid -s season -e episode

Example: manual.py -i "C:\Futurama S03E10.mkv" -tvdb 73871‎ -s 3 -e 10



Auto Single File (will gather movie ID or TV show ID / season / spisode from the file name if possible)

manual.py -i mp4path -a

Example: manual.py -i "C:\Futurama S03E10.mkv" -a



Directory (you will be prompted at each file for the type of file and ID)

manual.py -i directory_path

Example: manual.py -i C:\Movies



Automated Directory (The script will attempt to figure out appropriate tagging based on file name)

manual.py -i directory_path -a

Example: manual.py -i C:\Movies -a



Process a directory but manually specific TVDB ID (Good for shows that don't correctly match using the guess)

manual.py -i directory -a -tvdb tvdbid

Example: manual.py -i C:\TV\Futurama\ -a -tvdb 615

```

You may also simply run `manual.py -i 'C:\The Matrix.mkv` and the script will prompt you for the missing information or attempt to guess based on the file name.

You may run the script with a `--auto` or `-a` switch, which will let the script guess the tagging information based on the file name, avoiding any need for user input. This is the most ideal option for large batch file operations.

The script may also be pointed to a directory, where it will process all files in the directory. If you run the script without the `-a` switch, you will be prompted for each file with options on how to tag, to convert without tagging, or skip.



External Cover Art

--------------

To use your own cover art instead of what the script pulls from TMDB or TVDB, simply place an image file  in the same directory as the input video with the same name before processing and it will be used. Must be `jpg` or `png`



Import External Subtitles

--------------

To import external subtitles, place the .srt file in the same directory as the file to be processed. The srt must have the same name as the input video file, as well as the language code for which the subtitle is. Subtitle importing obeys the langauge rules set in autoProcess.ini, so languages that aren't whitelisted will be ignored.



Naming example:

```

input mkv - The.Matrix.1999.mkv

subtitle srt - The.Matrix.1999.eng.srt

```
