A command line tool that renames and copies media files, movies and tv shows, to a given path. Optionally it can be used as endscript for the Transmission BT Client.

Initial Thoughts

The script uses 4 tests in order to determine if it's rather a tv show or a movie:

These tests are:

• duration
• aspect ratio
• frame rate
• file size

Any mediafile with a duration longer than 90 minutes will be considered automatically as a movie.

In case of a shorter duration, the aspect ratio, frame rate and file size will be analyzed and in case of positive match of at least 2 of these tests, the file will be considered a movie aswell. Otherwise, the file will be processed as tv show.

The positive match occurs when:

• aspect ratio is not 4:3 or 16:9
• frame rate is 23.976 (24p)
• file size is above 2GB

The output path is set per default (initial setup is a big TODO) to:

• /Volumes/PLEX/TV
• /Volumes/PLEX/Movies

The output format, based on the filebot syntaxis is as follows:

• Movies: "{n} ({y})"
• => Avatar (2009)

The shows are copied into a sepparate folder per tv show and season:

• TV Shows: "{n}/{s.pad(2)}x/{n} - {s}x{e.pad(2)} - {t}"
• => Firefly/01x/Firefly - 1x01 - Serenity

More information related this syntaxis can be found at:

Requirements

• mediainfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net)
• filebot-cli (http://filebot.sourceforge.net)

How to use

./transmit.sh path_to_file_or_directory file_or_directory [TEST]

### Example ./transmit.sh /Users/daniel/Downloads/Transmission drive.mkv or - test run ./transmit.sh /Users/daniel/Downloads/Transmission drive.mkv TEST

The output will be logged as default to /tmp/transmit.log
