mediatidy

For anyone with a large media collection (movies and tv shows) who craves file organization, mediatidy is a project that helps you keep your content... tidy.

This project is early in dev and a WIP. Please file issues!

About

Point mediatidy at your movie or TV show directory and it will do the following (any file deletion requires your approval):

• Delete all non-video type files.
• Delete all corrupt/incomplete video files.
• Delete all sample files.
• Process files to find dupes; keep the highest quality of the dupes and delete the rest.
• Delete directories that are empty
• Delete directories that match keywords saved by user

Coming soon:

• Delete files under a specified size.
• Media files view.
• Ability to rename files.

File Naming Assumptions

For dupe detection to work best your files should be properly named. mediatidy works best with the following conventions:

Movies should have title followed by year:

• Movie Title (1974).mkv
• Movie Title - 1974.mkv
• Movie Title 1974.mkv

TV shows should be have show name, followed by formatted season/episode, then episode name:

• Show Name - S02E03 - Ep Name.mkv
• Show Name - S02E03e01 - Ep Name.mkv
• Show Name - 02x03 - Ep Name.mkv
• Show Name - 2014.03.07 - Ep Name.mkv

Without proper file naming conventions duplicate matching can be unreliable. You do want to be tidy right?
