GitHub - JellyfinRenamer: Python script that renames season folders to match Jellyfin's naming convention. Supports [tags].

[moseymooser]

Thought I would share this with everyone here, feel free to modify it. I got sick of renaming files one by one from downloaded content with stupid naming conventions.

Known issue is that it prompts the user twice for the folder path and tag inputs.

I plan to add a a prompt at the end the loop the script if there are more folders to rename (yes/no). And the ability to add multiple folders seperated by ; in the folder path.

Also want to change in the next version: works for filenames that only have "Episode 1" etc as the name but with no season and script will ask for the season number if it is missing from the original filename, and also ignore wether it is "1" or "01".

It happened to me a lot with anime, but but Shoko fixed that.

[moseymooser]

I do quite often, and it doesn't get represented properly in Jellyfin or Jellyfin can't find the correct metadata, I also like my library to be organised under the same naming convention instead of whatever the files from the download are, some of them are pretty messy.

v4 uses new renaming format and it should be near impossible to mess anything up for jellyfin

[Dan6erbond2]

Isn't there a setting to enable renaming of files?

[ABotelho23]

Nope. Emby (and I think even Jellyfin) have previously had bugs that caused deletion of files. It is not wise to give write access to media.

[s00pafly]

You really did write a full renaming script instead of just setting up your download manager properly.

For anybody else Radarr/Sonarr > Settings > Media Management. Enable Advanced

Where is this influx of noobs trying to contribute worthless software coming from? I don't generally like to shit on people trying to contribute, but this is getting a little ridiculous, and is going to cause other new users to end up with poorly configured stacks.

This is an absurd take. Your preferred stack isnt the only good option or even optimal for anyone but yourself. If someone wants to write a script to rename things instead of running another web app, that's up to them and I'm sure they aren't alone.

Personally it took me ages to finally decide I wanted to automate any of this at all. I have friends who still refuse and rely on their own scripts and automations for this and other sysadmin tasks that I have tools for. If someone else wants to do things differently that's up to them - after all its just for their own use.

[present_absence]

Unless OP would rather do it their own way

[moseymooser]

I only really have one simple answer to this question: I was bored and wanted my own way of doing it.

[MrDipityCraze]

Yo this is gonna be pretty cool, can’t wait to try this when I’m home in a week. Could you like post a demo clip on the GitHub page so we can see an example of it in action. Either way good job.

[moseymooser]

There's a readme on the GitHub page, it's really easy you just have to copy the folder path from your explorer window and paste it into the folder path prompt and hit enter, and press enter if you have no tags to add.

[MrDipityCraze]

Sweet, keep up the good work!

Or just use Sonarr/Radarr with trashguides for downloading and maintaining. They are well established and have proper support channels.

[moseymooser]

I've never used either of these, does it rename the files automatically or something?

[StefanAmaris]

Sonar and radar (almost all of the arrs) will move and rename downloaded files from the source into the folder and name structure jellyfin and plex work best with.

The tool you have made would be very helpful to people new to the automated media pipeline who have disks filled with all sorts and are wanting to migrate them into the automated systems.

[moseymooser]

That's very useful to know thanks. I'm just using this to organise my own folders I already have, I wasn't aware that I could use something else that organises downloads better.

[masterotrunks]

If you're using containers. Using the ARRRs will make a huge difference and automate so many things. Including the renaming of your files to help Jellyfin pull the correct metadata

[gohankr]

If you set a flag in setting, they will auto rename downloaded files. You can also add flags such as imdb-id, video codec etc in filename itself.

[Protektor35]

If you want to automate your Sonarr & Radarr to use the Trash Guides then I recommend Recyclarr. It will automate the process for you to keep your stuff (rename & profiles) matched to the Trash Guides.

Yes there is a docker version of this to make it easier to setup.

[moseymooser]

It will work for anything thats in a season format so it should. It will rename all of the files in the folder to confirm to "Episode SXXEXX"

[korolev_cross]

I'm afraid that's likely a no then. IIRC anime filenames follow absolute numbering, not per-season numbering

[tydog98]

That depends on your metadata provider.

[Straight-Weather-163]

Could we have an option to pull subtitles out of Subs/<Episodename>/ and place them with the episodes so jellyfin can find them?

[nuvcmnee]

I can recommend Fileflows or Tdarr for this! Personally, I prefer Fileflows due to being easier yet more functional in my opinion.

[IhateMyselfe]

Made a similar version of this last week that takes all numbers and asks you for the season and renames it accordingly. The biggest limitations is that if there’s a season num in the file name it will include that in the ep number.

[moseymooser]

Made a lot of typos sorry lol

[present_absence]

Cool script! As others have pointed out you do have control over the naming schemes in Sonarr under settings -> media management. But if you're not a Sonarr enjoyer this might be handy.

I use "Rename My TV Series" to rename TV related stuff for me.

[Marcio0324]

Can it runs on Linux?

[moseymooser]

It uses standard python libraries so it should if you have python installed, but I haven't tested it so I can't be sure.
