movie-rename/README.md

movie-rename

A simple tool to rename movies, written in Rust.

This is made mostly due to mnamer not having support for director's name, and partly because I wanted to try writing something useful in Rust.

Installation

Install from AUR, my personal lure-repo or download the binary from the releases.

Notes

• The expected syntax is:

  movie_rename <filename(s)> [-n|--dry-run] [-d|--directory] [-h|--help] [-v|--version]

• There needs to be a config file named movie_rename.conf in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

• It should consist of two lines. The first line should have your TMDb API key.

• The second line should have a pattern, that will be used for the rename.

• In the pattern, the variables need to be enclosed in {{}}, the supported variables are title, year and director.

• Default pattern is {title} ({year}) - {director}. Extension is always kept.

• Passing --directory assumes that the arguments are directory names, which contain exactly one movie and optionally subtitles.

• I plan to add more variables in the future. Support for TV Shows will not be added, since tvnamer does that excellently.
