Rename movie to parent folder name (Now with a windows version too!)

[oluminion]

hi there,

even if the topic is quite old, i am really interested in the first unix script. i tried to get it to work on osx which should work so far, but i can't find any mencoder version for terminal use. any one got a suggestion or maybe a osx compatible script which does the same as the above one?

thx in advance

Here's another script for renaming movie files to match the folder (well, job) name. This time, in Python.

I made this one partially because I wanted to learn some python, partially because I wanted to integrate this script into the one that updates xbmc and sends a prowl notification, and partially because I wanted something more readable/configurable than a batch file.

I've never actually used python before, so it's probably not the prettiest script you'll see, code-wise, and there may be much simpler ways of doing things, but in the handful of tests I ran, it works great.

It works perfectly (thus far) on Python 2.6.4

I *think* it should work on any platform you can run python on, but I have no way of testing this. The only thing I can think of that might cause problems is the direction of the slashes in the last line. They're windows-style, since that's what I use, but I don't know how much other OS'es care. Everything else should be OS-independent.

As I haven't done extensive testing, use at your own risk. I can't imagine it would cause any damage to anything, but I'm always nervous about stuff like that.

The whole thing is heavily commented (pretty much every line, lol). This is mostly for my sake, so I know what the heck is going on if I ever have to look at the code again, but if you look through it and find something I could have done better, please let me know, and feel free to post corrections/changes (an explanation of why would be great for those of us that aren't great with python yet).

Either way, feedback is definitely appreciated.

                is_video = 1
                # Stop checking (theoretically, it shouldn't have more than one extension)
                break
        # If we determined that the file was relevant...
        if is_video == 1:

                # If so, add " - CD" to the end
                new_filename = new_filename + ' - CD'
                # Check to see if we've already renamed one file with this extension
                if ext_tally.has_key(file_extension):
                    # If so, add one to the count
                    ext_tally[file_extension] = ext_tally[file_extension] + 1
                else:
                    # If not, create a counter and set it to 1
                    ext_tally[file_extension] = 1
                # Then append that number to the end of the filename
                new_filename = new_filename + str(ext_tally[file_extension])
            # Finally, add the extension
            new_filename = new_filename + '.' + file_extension
            # See if the new filename and the old filename match
            if filename == new_filename:
                # If so, end this iteration without renaming, and say so:
                print "Filenames are the same. Not renaming"
                continue
            # Uncomment this line to print the original filename and new filename
            print 'Renaming ' + filename + ' to ' + new_filename
            # Last, but not least, rename the file
            os.rename(ugly_folder + '\\' + filename, ugly_folder + '\\' + new_filename)

/edit: Added a couple of lines to keep it from trying to rename a file if the current filename and new filename are the same. Haven't tested this yet, but the code is pretty simple.

that's the output i get when using your script under macos :/ maybe it helps you.

oluminion,

Make sure you are running Python 2.6.4.

Python versions lower than 2.6 and 3.0 and above will not work.

rudyb,

Love it - you just saved me writing my own version. Only tested with 2 movies so far, but has handled both as expected - one movie had 2 avi's and it renamed then to CD1 & CD2.

Great work.

Can i use the python version in Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard? If so what do i need to do? Thanks
