= movie-renamer



A simple command line interface to rename movies in a folder

and get your movies collection organized!



It works in an interactive way and 

uses imdb gem to query imdb about current movie trying to obtain useful infos



to see the usage type



    $ movie-renamer -h

    Usage: movie-renamer [-i|-s|-f|-h|-p] 

        Default behavior is -f on current working directory

        -h, --help                       Display this help

        -i, --imdb                       Executes a query on imdb on 

        -s, --singlemovie FILE           Acts on a single movie file 

        -f, --folder FOLDER              Acts on whole folder 

        -p, --path PATH                  path for moving renamed movies default is tmp/ in current working directory 



== NOTE:

Imdb site recently changed layout hence the imdb gem that movie-renamer uses for the search doesn't give good results anymore

I don't have the time to fix the imdb gem or change it and use another database but I'm willing to accept pull requests :)

Sorry for the inconvenience



== How it works



Default behavior is to scan the current working directory.

For each movie in the folder a question about what to do is asked.



Then movie is renamed using input provided by the user.

You can query imdb using the filename or enter use manual search



Each renamed movie is moved into a tmp/ subfolder of the current working directory or 

in the folder specified with the -p option



By default Movies are renamed like this:



    $year - $director - $title partXX.file_extension



You can set the rename pattern creating a .movie-renamer file in your home



example:

    filename: ($year) - $title - $director



=== Multilangual support

Optionally a language for the search can be set in .movie-renamer file

    language: it



all languages supported by imdb are available, simply set the language option to the website .part

link www.imdb.it -> it



In this case search will return the complete title but then just the title in the selected language will be writed in the filename



Please NOTE that multilanguage support REQUIRES an UTF-8 enabled terminal to work correctly



=== Change default savepath

    savepath: /home/ghedamat/movies



Setting this variable you can change the default savepath to save in the same path all the renamed movies.

The behavior is the same as with -p option.



=== Add a pattern to parse movie filenames

If option "parsepattern" is set the pattern is used to parse movie filenames 

trying to detect $director $title and $year

    parsepattern: $year - $director - $title



== Notes on install

movie-renamer requires ruby1.9 to work correctly

gem dependencies also includes



    imdb gem

    htmlentities gem

    highline gem



also ensure that you have the gem installation path in your $PATH to use the included executables



== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

You are encouraged to provide help in developing this simple but useful (I hope) application! 

* Fork the project.

* Make your feature addition or bug fix.

* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a

  future version unintentionally.

* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.

  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
