THIS PROJECT IS NOW ABANDONED / HAS NO ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THE CORE OF THE PROJECT, NAMELY MOVIE METADATA BEING USED IN ANOTHER PROJECT TERMED MOVIE INDEXER. THE TORRENT FILE NAME CLEANER IS TO BE IMPLEMENTED AS A SEPARATE MODULE NAMED TORRENT RENAMER.

hdd-indexer is an utility that indexes the contents of a hard disk, and allows viewing and interacting with it based on metadata. Currently, it supports only video files, specifically movies.

• Identify movies on disk and save them in a database
• Download metadata such as release date, cast, crew, and ratings from online sources
• Filter and sort movies using metadata
• Auto-detect torrent formatted filenames
• Export list of movies. Sort and filter based on metadata.
• Organize movie files by release date or IMDb scores.

• More organization criterias such as director, genre, etc.
• Compare contents of two disks to create a share/lend/borrow list
• Remote storage of disk index so that it can be viewed by others

The project requires python2.7 to be installed. It has not been tested on python3.

• Django==1.8.2
• django-grappelli==2.6.5
• django-solo==1.1.0
• requests==2.5.3
• tmdbsimple==1.3.0
• python-opensubtitles (via python-opensubtitles | coolharsh55) a fork of python-opensubtitles that addresses the issue of svn repo error in pip freeze)
• wheel==0.24.0

Download the library from python-opensubtitles and movie the pythonopensubtitles folder to the project directory,

OR

using git:

git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/agonzalezro/python-opensubtitles && mv python-opensubtitles/pythonopensubtitles ./ && rm -rf python-opensubtitles

1. Download the project
2. Make sure you have downloaded the python-opensubtitles into the project directory.
3. Start the setup using python setup.py
4. It will fail if there is no internet connectivity.
5. It will install dependencies via pip
6. It will create the database and associated tables/schema using django's manage.py migrate
7. It creates an admin user
8. Next, it will start the server, and open a browser page to localhost:8000 to complete the rest of the setup.
9. In the browser, enter the fields specified.
10. The registration key can be any non-empty string for now
11. The HDD Name is a semantic name for the disk
12. The HDD Root is the mount path of the disk on the current system. For *NIX systems, enter the path from root to the mount directory (/root/to/mount/). For Windows, enter the drive letter along with a colon (E:)
13. The Movie Folder is the path to the folder containing all the movie files. The path should be a valid and existing path, which can be verified using python's os.path.exists(...) Spaces in the path are automatically resolved.
14. Enter the keys for using APIs of OpenSubtitles and TMDb. Links to registration are provided on the setup page.
15. Finally, upon successful setup completion, the help page will open showing a Quick Start quide.
16. To quit the server, press ctrl+c in the terminal.

1. start the server using python hdd-indexer.py . This uses a django command that starts a local server at localhost and port 8000, both of which can be changed by passing parameters to the command.
2. Open a browser at localhost:8000

Browse movies, cast, and crew present in database using django's admin interface. Movies can be viewed as lists, that can be filtered or sorted based on metadata such as title, release date, cast, crew, ratings, etc.

Crawls the hard disk looking for movies and adds them to database. The crawler is usually fast to operate since it only looks at file extensions and file size to identify movies.

Downloads and updates metadata for movies in database. The loader requires internet connectivity and will not function without it. It can take a substantial amount of time based on number of movies in database. Since this is not a complete release, some times the loader module can get stuck. You can stop the module safely in such cases.

Exports a list of movies in database to a text file that is served as a download in the browser. The exported list can be ordered by various criterions such as release date, title, IMDb score, etc.

Renames files by their movie titles, and re-organizes them in folder based on selected criterion. All uncategorized files are moved to 'uncategorized' folder, and all non-movie files are movied to 'other files' folder.

This is a django project that uses the local server functionality to serve a movie database. Since both server and client are on the same machine, the interface is fluid and responsive. Using django also allows for all data/info/settings to be stored in database.

The database is stored as a local database file named db.sqlite3 in the hdd_indexer folder. To backup or copy the databae, use this file.

Currently, this build is in early stages and there are bound to be several bugs and issues. Please help its development by filing these in the bug/issue tracker, or email me.

The project maintains verbose logs in the ./logs/ folder. To help me understand performance bottlenecks and fix bugs, email this folder (zipped) to hdd-indexer@harshp.com with an appropriate subject line.

Please open related issues and bugs here using Github Issues so that it is easy for me to keep track and resolve them via commits.
