Automatic Rename Script

[volumedata21]

Greetings, I recently discovered The Disc DB and it's an absolute game changer. I have no idea how I went so long without discovering it. Thank you so much for maintaining this project.

I created a python script to automatically rename media based on a page from The Disc DB:
https://github.com/volumedata21/media-scripts

Hopefully someone will find this useful. Based on how long it took me to find this project, I wouldn't be surprised if a similar script already exists.

The script will attempt to automatically rename files based on information from thediscdb.com. It will ask the the URL you want to use for your disc and the location of your video files. It tries to figure out files based on video length or file size. It then renames files based on the Plex naming standard. It works for both movies and TV series.

Thanks again for maintaining such a useful project.

I am glad you find the site useful. Cool idea to write a script to help with renaming. Since there are no guarantees that the structure of the html will stay the same, consider using the graphql endpoint which allows you to query the data in a more programatic way: https://thediscdb.com/graphql/
