I have a whole lot of unwatched movies, and deciding what to watch is not an easy thing to do.
Let's automate!
Currently, It only scans folders for movies, fetches their data from the OMDB API, and saves the json files in a folder. I then use some jq magic to filter out movies. I'll probably code something custom that allows you to better filter out movies.
Copy the sample config file: cp config.py.example config.py
Add your movie folder paths to the PATHS list in config file.
Run python watch.py
- A Custom Filter Tool
- Takes in parameters like rating, genre, actors etc.
- Lists out the best OR top-n matches
Currentl I do stuff like: jq ". | select(.imdb_rating != \"N/A\") | select(.imdb_rating | tonumber >= 8.0) | .title, .imdb_rating" < *.json

This can seriously become a movie database 'tagger' like Picard - all it needs is a sleek GUI.
-
Errors can be handled by using searching rather than the top result, it'll require some human intervention though.

We might need to get back to the omdb package if we need to add searching etc back.
