MythTV XBMC renamer.

This development thread is obsolete please see this thread:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=453344

This is something I've been working on tonight. I hope to have it operational soon. It will eventually rename episodes to Showname-SxxExx-(show title).XXX with only the showname and episode name from MythTv.

Usage: /user/home/Desktop/tv.sh "showname"
currently it will generate a file called "show name".txt which is the entire TVDB on the show and "show name".reduced.txt which contains only the pertinant information

Code:

#/bin/sh

#usage is as follows-  tv.sh "show name" "episode name"  eg. tv.sh "family guy"

apikey="3B81A89C73E4EE95"

#make series name friendly for URL usage

showname=`echo $1|replace " " "%20"`

#note the show for the log

echo "checking for show named" $1 "on TVDB.com" > output.log

echo "the episode name is" $2 >> output.log

#get seriesid from showname from TVDB

seriesid=`curl www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=$showname|grep "<seriesid>"`

#I was parsing the XML, i realized I didn't need to save the file.

#seriesid=`echo $seriesid|replace "> <" ">Ḃ<"`

#seriesid=`echo $seriesid|tr -s "Ḃ" "\n"|grep "<seriesid>"`

#remove XML tags

seriesid=`echo $seriesid|tr -d "<seriesid>"|tr -d "</seriesid>"`

echo "got series ID for $1 it is $seriesid" >>output.log

echo "now downloading show information for $1" >>output.log

#download series info for show

curl http://www.thetvdb.com/api/$apikey/series/$seriesid/all/en.xml > $showname.txt

cat $showname.txt|egrep "<EpisodeName>|<SeasonNumber>|<EpisodeNumber>">>$showname.reduced.txt

would anyone like to give me input? I'm learning bash

outleradam · 2009-12-01 07:01

This version will output a file with showname Ex Sx

Code:

#/bin/sh

#usage is as follows-  tv.sh "show name" "episode name"  eg. tv.sh "family guy"

apikey="3B81A89C73E4EE95"

#make series name friendly for URL usage

showname=`echo $1|replace " " "%20"`

#note the show for the log

echo "checking for show named" $1 "on TVDB.com" > output.log

echo "the episode name is" $2 >> output.log

#get seriesid from showname from TVDB

seriesid=`curl www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=$showname|grep "<seriesid>"`

#I was parsing the XML, i realized I didn't need to save the file.

#seriesid=`echo $seriesid|replace "> <" ">Ḃ<"`

#seriesid=`echo $seriesid|tr -s "Ḃ" "\n"|grep "<seriesid>"`

#remove XML tags

seriesid=`echo $seriesid|tr -d "<seriesid>"|tr -d "</seriesid>"`

echo "got series ID for $1 it is $seriesid" >>output.log

echo "now downloading show information for $1" >>output.log

#download series info for show

#curl http://www.thetvdb.com/api/$apikey/series/$seriesid/all/en.xml > $showname.txt

#grab just the info we need

reduced=`cat $showname.txt|egrep "<EpisodeName>|<SeasonNumber>|<EpisodeNumber>"`

#remove HTML Tags

reduced=`echo $reduced|replace "</EpisodeNumber>" "" |replace "</SeasonNumber>" ""|replace "</EpisodeName>" ""`

reduced=`echo $reduced|replace "<EpisodeNumber>" "E"|replace "<SeasonNumber>" "S"|replace "<EpisodeName>" "Ḃ"`

echo $reduced

echo $reduced|tr -s " Ḃ" " \r" >$showname.reduced.txt

#tr Ḃ to enter

I could really use some help to rearrange the output from my program. It is currently generating a file like this:

Code:

tv.sh "family guy"

snippet from output file family%20guy.reduced.txt

Code:

Season 4 DVD Extra - Outtakes E24 S0 

Family Guy Presents: Seth and Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show E25 S0 

Death has a Shadow E1 S1 

I Never Met the Dead Man E2 S1 

Chitty Chitty Death Bang E3 S1 

Mind Over Murder E4 S1 

A Hero Sits Next Door E5 S1

I need it to output 2 digits like: Sxx and Exx instead of Sx Ex

outleradam · 2009-12-01 07:49

got double digits up and am now working on matching the showname to the Exx Sxx I don't know what I'm doing wrong on that..

Code:

#/bin/sh

#usage is as follows-  tv.sh "show name" "episode name"  eg. tv.sh "family guy"

#echo $namefile

to do:
make it thetvdb friendly
get output from file
write XBMC regex ohgod i hope xexe will help me.
... future: add alternate lookup by date and other search engines.

I've put together a script that takes as its argument the show name and episode name, then it queries the MythTV database for the stored file name, runs a custom command on that file (usually commercial cutting and transcoding), then places the output file in my XBMC TV shows directory and a supdirectory based on the show name, and names the output file "Show.SxxExx.Episode.mkv". It queries TVDB based on the episode's original airdate to determine the season and episode numbers.

MWhy didn't you post that with better directions earlier? I went looking for instructions all over and I could not figure out how to use that. I programmed my own because your instructions are so vauge. What package are those dependencies in? I still can't figure out how to use that program.

Here's my script. It does not have handling yet. It works though. Just need to bypass things on errors.

Code:

#/bin/sh

#usage is as follows-  tv.sh "show name" "episode name"  eg. tv.sh "South Park" "Here Comes the Neighborhood"

#This file depends on Curl  install curl with "apt-get install curl"  

apikey="3B81A89C73E4EE95"

#make series name friendly for URL usage

showname=`echo $1|replace " " "%20"`

#note the show for the log

echo "checking for show named" $1 "on TVDB.com" >> output.log

echo "the episode name is" $2 >> output.log

#get seriesid from showname from TVDB

seriesid=`curl -s www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=$showname|grep "<seriesid>"`

#remove XML tags

seriesid=`echo $seriesid|tr -d "<seriesid>"|tr -d "</seriesid>"`

#####TODO  if $seriesid = "" then exit 0 fi

echo "got series ID for $1 it is $seriesid">>output.log

echo "now downloading show information for $seriesid">>output.log

###TODO this section will be skipped if our db is up to date

#download series info for show

echo creating $showname/$showname.txt>>output.log

curl -s http://www.thetvdb.com/api/$apikey/series/$seriesid/all/en.xml > $showname/$showname.txt

#make a episode name file

cat $showname/$showname.txt | grep "<EpisodeName>"|replace "<EpisodeName>" ""|replace "</EpisodeName>" "">$showname/$showname.Ename.txt

#make a season number file 

cat $showname/$showname.txt | grep "<SeasonNumber>"|replace "<SeasonNumber>" ""|replace "</SeasonNumber>" "">|replace " " "">$showname/$showname.S.txt

#make a episode number file

cat $showname/$showname.txt | grep "<EpisodeNumber>"|replace "<EpisodeNumber>" ""|replace "</EpisodeNumber>" ""|replace " " "">$showname/$showname.E.txt

#find the $2 userinput in the episode name file, output only the line number

linenumber=`grep -nm 1 "$2" $showname/$showname.Ename.txt| sed 's/:.*//'`

#add a p for use with sed

linenumber=$linenumber"p"

#gather series and episode names from files created earlier and define epn/shn while we're at it.

exx=`sed -n $linenumber $showname/$showname.E.txt`

sxx=`sed -n $linenumber $showname/$showname.S.txt`

epn=$2

shn=$1

# make names Exx and Sxx not just Ex Sx

if [ "$exx" -lt 10 ]

   then exx=`echo E0$exx`

elif [ $exx > 9 ]

    then exx=`echo E$exx`

fi

if [ "$sxx" -lt 10 ]

   then sxx=`echo S0$sxx`

elif [ $sxx > 9 ]

    then exx=`echo S$sxx`

fi

#output format  shn=showname sxx=seasonnumber exx=episodenumber epn=episodename

echo got episode information: $shn - $sxx$exx "($epn)" >> output.log

echo $shn - $sxx$exx "($epn)"

It works with curl. All that's left is error handling and making it a plugin for the official tvrenamer script included with myth.

I provided much more detailed instructions than 9 out of 10 bash/perl/pythin scripts on the net. As for packages, I don't know what distro you are using and chances are that if you don't know how to find and install software on your own distro, you're probably not going to be able to use it anyway. So all that to say, you're welcome and best of luck.

No, most scripts list dependencies as you can install them. You should just put in full directions for a person to use your software. You should also list information about the OS required to install it otherwise people like me, last week, come along and look at it like WTF? Me after 4 hours screwing with it: "This guy admitted not knowing how to program.. why did I waste my time working with this script if I knew it was not going to work in the first place." Your program did do something. I just can't tell what it was. I gave it the information, and it rearranged my files. Your program moved my files around, but did not get the information.

Quote:As for packages, I don't know what distro you are using

Ubuntu 9.11

Quote:and chances are that if you don't know how to find and install software on your own distro

Sure I do... full installation instructions are to follow...
Bash installation $>
1. type sudo apt-get install curl (run through the installation)
2. copy the program to any folder of your choosing and which your myth user name has rights to read and write to files, this is because BashSxxExx will maintain it's own text-file database for quick reference.
3. ****Implementation into mythrename is not complete yet.***

Quote: you're probably not going to be able to use it anyway. So all that to say, you're welcome and best of luck.

Why am I not going to be able to use it? Thank you.

For those of you watching or waiting for this project, The above will output a name, but only if it is absolutely correct. My latest work now has that corrected, however if you type 'the' as the showname it will recognize all shows that come up with 'the'. so my todo list before this is "ready" is the following.

I'm going to have it go through and download every XML for the returned SID returned by theTvDb until it obtains an exact match.

I'm currently working on a database maintenance routine which will avoid excessive downloading unless theTvDb has updated that particular show

Also in the works soon to come: a separate text file which will look for specific names from your tvguide and rename them for theTvDb: IE. Aqua Teen Hungerforce = Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

The official name for this project is BashSExx

sigh, i've been troubleshooting my program because it was not working and then I realized that theTvDb.com is down right now. That is note worthy as a log note on a failure.

got some work done in the right direction, however, thetvdb is down right now so there's alot of errors

Your program did do something. I just can't tell what it was. I gave it the information, and it rearranged my files. Your program moved my files around, but did not get the information.

It's a perl script. There are two ways to tell. The first is that it has a .pl extension. The second is that the first line of the script tells you as much. It's OS-agnostic as long as you have a perl interpreter on your system. Since MythTV is a Linux project, I felt it was unnecessary to specify that it was written on Linux. I specified what the dependencies are. Short of giving you the apt-get lines, I don't see what more you could want. You should be able to figure out how to install mythtv, avidemux, and a perl module.

As for what it does, my intial post in this thread explained what the script does. The first paragraph on the wiki explains what it does. Moreover, you can see the entire script. Again, what do you want? This script has been posted on this forum before and has been posted on the MythTV mailing list for 6 months and no one has ever complained before.

I don't know what your problem is, but try to be a little less of a douchebag when someone offers you something.
