python-movie-scripts

My python scripts to manage Plex movie server content. Automating tedious tasks like renaming, organizing, and syncing.

Ensure that the script is run in a directory where you have permission to rename files.

rename-to-conventions.py

Batch Renaming Files (to match Plex naming conventions) This script batch renames movie files to match the correct Plex naming conventions, which generally follow a format like: MovieName (Year).ext.

Example input

TheMatrix1999.mkv
Inception2010.mp4
Avatar2009.avi

Example output

Renamed: TheMatrix1999.mkv -> TheMatrix (1999).mkv
Renamed: Inception2010.mp4 -> Inception (2010).mp4
Renamed: Avatar2009.avi -> Avatar (2009).avi

After running the script, your directory /path/to/your/movies will have the following renamed files

TheMatrix (1999).mkv
Inception (2010).mp4
Avatar (2009).avi
