`movie-rename`

It turns a file like Apur.Sansar.HEVC.2160p.AC3.mkv into Apur Sansar (1959) - Satyajit Ray.mkv using metadata pulled from TMDB.

This is made mostly due to mnamer not having support for director's name, and also 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. You can also get it from crates.io.

You can also install from source by using

git clone https://github.com/SinTan1729/movie-rename
cd movie-rename
sudo make install

The syntax is:

movie-rename <filename(s)> [-n|--dry-run] [-d|--directory] [-h|--help] [-v|--version]
There needs to be a config file named config in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/movie-rename/ directory.
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 or -d assumes that the arguments are directory names, which contain exactly one movie and optionally subtitles.
Passing --dry-run or -n does a dry tun and only prints out the new names, without actually doing anything.
Passing -nd or -dn does a dry run in directory mode.
Passing --help or -h shows help and exits.
Passing --version or -v shows version and exits.

Currently, it only supports names in English. It should be easy to turn it into a configurable option. Since for movies in all the languages I know, English name is usually provided, it's a non-feature for me. If someone is willing to test it out for other languages, they're welcome. I'm open to accepting PRs.
I plan to add more variables in the future. Support for TV Shows will not be added, since tvnamer does that excellently.
