movieinfo

get ridiculous least information from tmdb

The idea is to create a text file with movie meta information and download a poster and backdrop image into your current directory. The created text file has no distractive formatting and can be fed to grep or maybe find /movies -type f -name '*.txt' -print0 | xargs -0 grep -i schwarzenegger . Which is a good thing.

$ movieinfo -d "total recall"

et voila

warning

Do not take this source as go/golang reference. I'm a perl person. This is my first try to do a little bit more with golang. Based on "golang string to int" or "golang write file" web searches. The movieinfo command creates several files in your current directory, so it might overwrite yours. It connects to the internet [1] to download data. Well, that's the idea.

You better have backup. You have been warned.

prerequisites

  1. goto https://www.themoviedb.org
  2. create an account
  3. get your API key

features

  • works for me. Fork it, change it: it'll work for you
  • downloads images like poster, backdrop etc.
  • creates unique filenames which group together on sort by name in your favourite filemanager like e.g. /usr/bin/ls
  • is designed to be used as a command line tool
  • due to golang it runs on
    • Synology DSM NAS
    • Debian laptop
    • Linux workstation
    • Windows (integrated into a DirectoryOpus button)

repeat

installation linux

  • go get go
  • go get github.com/wwwutz/movieinfo
  • cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/wwwutz/movieinfo
  • go build
  • cp movieinfo somewhere in your $PATH if you prefer
  • GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build to create a windows .exe

usage

sort out the mess

And now we can start sorting out. We're looking for the Arnie version via the .URL files

  1. Minority Report-180-2002.URL ...
  2. *-408340-*.URL points to ... well whatever
  3. Total Recall-64635-2012.URL looks like the remake
  4. Total Recall Die totale Erinnerung-861-1990.URL Yeah! That's the one. Go Arnie, pull that thing out of your nose

"Hmmm.. german ? Ah, that's what you meant with 'works for me' 8-)"

Let's get rid of the others (using filename completion via the tabulator key [TAB] or use a decent file manager.

Oh and try not to delete your movie files ;-)

restrict number of results

use the --max=n option. This limits the output to n results. The default is zero (0) which means unlimited. Let's try one (1).

$ movieinfo -m 1 "total recall"
 arg[0]: total recall
 search: total recall
/*  1. ID: 861   */
        Title: Total Recall - Die totale Erinnerung
OriginalTitle: Total Recall
  ReleaseDate: 1990-06-01


If there would be more than one (1) hit, the result is random. The Arnie version might not be the first one to pop up. I'm using 4 or 5 for scripts (--max=5), in 99% of all cases the movie I was looking for pops up in the first results.

supply tmdb.org ID via options

Once you have the tmdb.org ID of your movie you can restict the output and even get overview and cast in a .txt file

The command line option -i <tmdb.org ID> has highest priority and restricts output to this ID

$ movieinfo -d -i 64635

Title:    Total Recall
Tagline:  Was ist Wirklichkeit?
Release:  2012-08-02
Runtime:  1 h 58 min
Overview: Herzlich Willkommen bei Rekall, der Firma, die ihre Träume dank 
ihres Total Recall Verfahrens in reale Erinnerungen verwandeln kann. Für den 
Fabrikarbeiter Douglas Quaid klingt der Urlaub, den man nur in seiner Phantasie 
macht, nach der perfekten Lösung, seinem frustrierenden Leben zu entgehen. 
Obwohl er eine wundervolle Frau hat, die er liebt, könnten die Erinnerungen an 
ein Leben als Super-Agent genau das sein, was Douglas gerade braucht. Bei der 
Gedankenbefüllung geht jedoch etwas schief und Quaid wird plötzlich zu einem 
gejagten Mann. Auf der Flucht vor der Polizei verbündet sich Quaid mit einer 
Rebellenkämpferin. Zusammen wollen sie den Anführer jener 
Untergrundorganisation finden und Cohaagen aufhalten. Die Linie zwischen 
Fantasie und Realität beginnt zu verschwimmen und das Schicksal seiner Welt 
hängt am seidenen Faden, als Quaid herausfindet, was seine wahre Identität, 
seine wahre Liebe und sein wahres Schicksal ist.

unrelated feature: renaming files

movieinfo --mvtoext allows you to bulk rename files to the filename with the supplied extension.

Given the following files:


3v3n_uglier.meta
Nice-Name.txt
ugly_m0VieNam3.URL
ugly_m0VieNam3.avi
ugly_m0VieNam3.iso

Now let them all be called Nice-Name.*

$ movieinfo --mvtoext .txt 3v3n_uglier.meta Nice-Name.txt ugly_m0VieNam3.URL ugly_m0VieNam3.avi ugly_m0VieNam3.iso

 filenames[0]: 3v3n_uglier.meta
 filenames[1]: Nice-Name.txt
 filenames[2]: ugly_m0VieNam3.avi
 filenames[3]: ugly_m0VieNam3.iso
 filenames[4]: ugly_m0VieNam3.URL
 mv ugly_m0VieNam3.avi Nice-Name.avi
 mv ugly_m0VieNam3.iso Nice-Name.iso
 mv 3v3n_uglier.meta Nice-Name.meta
 mv ugly_m0VieNam3.URL Nice-Name.URL
 mv 3v3n_uglier.meta Nice-Name.meta

$ ls -1
Nice-Name.URL
Nice-Name.avi
Nice-Name.iso
Nice-Name.meta
Nice-Name.txt

Don't fall for it: It only uses the filenames you supply in the commandline:


$ movieinfo --mvtoext .txt *.{avi,iso}
 filenames[0]: ugly_m0VieNam3.avi
 filenames[1]: ugly_m0VieNam3.iso
# 2 != 1 : exit
 fail[1]:  no file with extension .txt supplied

Renaming one file:

$ movieinfo --mvtoext .txt ugly_m0VieNam3.avi Nice-Name.txt
 filenames[0]: ugly_m0VieNam3.avi
 filenames[1]: Nice-Name.txt
 mv ugly_m0VieNam3.avi Nice-Name.avi

$ ls -1
3v3n_uglier.meta
Nice-Name.avi
Nice-Name.txt
ugly_m0VieNam3.URL
ugly_m0VieNam3.iso

Remember: It does not search in your folder. You must not supply more or less than one filename with the supplied extension. Captain Obvious.
