CAIN - Simple Media Management

Cain automatically organises your movies and TV-shows according to your configuration. Your favourite torrent/download client should call Cain after the download has finished and Cain will do the rest.

Cain is still WIP and may very well contain bugs. Please feel free to report those here

Features

• Fully automated media management
• Simple to setup and easy to use
• Plays well with your Downloader, Torrent Client or whatever else you like to use
• FileBot under the hood - No need to reinvent the wheel

Installation

Requirements

FileBot needs to be installed and the filebot executable has to be globally available.

Install

Latest Release is available for all major operating systems as a prebuilt binary.

1. Download and extract the archive
2. Put the binary (cain) somewhere save and add the location to your PATH
3. Run cain setup

Setup

Before you can use Cain you need to configure some basic things first. Cain provides some sensitive defaults to get started with.

Run cain setup to interactively configure Cain. After you finished the setup process you are pretty much ready to go. Now you can configure your Downloader and/or Torrent Client to automatically run Cain after finishing downloading.

Configuration

Location: ~/.config/cain/config.yaml

• defaultRetrievePath: Where to get the unsorted media from
  • If not specified, parameter --path is required.
• autoUpdate: Enable/Disable automatic updates.
• language: 2-letter language code (default: en)
• nonStrictMatching: Enable to non strictly match for movies/tv-shows. Be aware that this could result in wrong matches.
• cleanupAfterwards: Cain will automatically clean the remaining unused/unneeded files after moving the matched files.
• hideBanner: If true Cain will no longer show the ascii banner before every command

Naming Schemes

Please see the FileBot Documentation for more informations on this subject.

Default Naming Schemes

• movie: {n} ({y})/{n}
• series/anime: {n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}
• music: {n}/{album}{pi.pad(2)}{artist} - {t}

Notifiers

Cain can also automatically notify specific apps for changes.

• kodi: host[:port] Tell the given Kodi/XBMC instance to rescan it's library
• plex: host[:token] Tell the given Plex instance to rescan it's library. Plex Home instances require an authentication token.
