Unfortunately the *arr stack did not work for me as their metadata generation isn’t as customizable and granular for me, with no way to edit metadata once it has been imported.

#KODI FILE RENAMER UPDATE#

Checking their documentation, they support both renaming and the creation of sidecar and nfo files for Kodi, and they appear to be both lightweight and customizable/configurable enough for me.Įdit 4: A final update to anyone who might be reading this thread. It's currently the most promising one of the bunch, however I could easily think of ways to integrate it into my setup + Jellyfin if there isn't any other program out there.Įdit 3: The *arr stack of apps is my best bet at this point. There's no nfo generation as well.Įdit 2: I found mnamer and it seems to cover my flexible file renaming needs, but they won't do metadata or nfo generation. It has a plugin that auto-organizes files out of a folder that it monitors, but it's not as flexible or customizable as I'd like. If I did have to choose from any of the three, I'd likely go with Jellyfin for a fully-open source solution. The aforementioned media servers don't seem to be able to do this out of the box (or from what I've seen in the documentation), nor do they have any plugins that fit my use-case. TMM does have its own internal database, but all the scraped metadata is available outside of TMM as well in the form of external images and nfo files alongside the video.

#KODI FILE RENAMER TV#

I know Medusa and other similar TV show managers can do automatic nfo generation that's compatible with Kodi, but I don't need a downloader and would ideally like one that works for movies as well.Įdit: I've looked at Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby, and while they're all reasonably fully-featured, I'd still want a media manager that can manage files and still remain independent of one particular platform, and one that's fairly lightweight (no need for transcoding, streaming over web, automatic downloading, syncing to Trakt all my media viewing will be done on my HTPCs). Subtitle management (not needed but nice to have).

#KODI FILE RENAMER FULL#

View, manage and index full media library via a browser interface (so I'm no longer tied to managing things on my PC).

Automatic file/folder renaming and Kodi-compatible nfo generation.

#KODI FILE RENAMER PC#

nfo files in source.Is there any available self-hosted media management program, something akin to TinyMediaManager but accessible over a web interface? I use TMM running on my PC to index, sort, and rename movies and TV shows on my NAS which lets me organize each file just the way I like it, also keeping it sorted independently from my two HTPCs running Kodi (just reading the TMM generated nfo file containing metadata on each library update). This writes watched status and any extra info in Kodi to.

Periodically i.e once you have watched enough movies you may want to do a export library.

Keep running clean library even for smaller changes done to files/folders.

Cleaning DB in Kodi is a bit of a pain.

As a general setting enable Update library on startup.

Import the media folder created using tmm above in Kodi media manager.

Adjust settings if something seems weird.

Once folder name and file name preferences are set in Settings->Movies->Renamer, do a dry run to see the changes that tmm is going to do.

I personally prefer movie-name (year) video-resolution imdb-rating part-no.General preference for file names is same as folder name.Generally prefer a flat structure over sub-directories and deep hierarchies. Recommended folder structure is movie-name (year).Verify each and every thing before doing renaming. CAUTION Once renaming is complete it cannot be undone.This step move movies to a Kodi recommended structure using tmm.Once all metadata is downloaded a second bulk search can be done just for ratings and top 250 data using IMDb.In the first pass do a bulk operation using TMDb scrapper.

I would recommend doing a two pass metadata search.

There is an option to select just ratings from IMDb in tmm

#KODI FILE RENAMER MOVIE#

TMDb provides a good source for movie metadata and most of it (including fan art and posters) can be downloaded from here.IMDb scrapping generally is slow for bulk operations.tmm provides option for this in the setting. Better do this one by one and before any renaming of files.įormat metadata (nfo) files.Bulk Subtitles find and download is generally a bad idea.

Files should end with -cd1, -cd2, etc or -part1, -part2, etc.
