NAME tvmv - Moves/Copies TV episode files into the correct destination TV folder based on the show name, season number and episode number parsed from the input files. SYNOPSIS tvmv FILE...|DIR... [-chnrs] DESCRIPTION "tvmv" allows you to move/copy TV episode files into the correct TV folder based on the show name, season number and episode number parsed from the input file names. "tvmv" also allows you to replace existing episodes (via the -r flag). This may be useful if you need to upgrade SD episodes to HD for example. "tvmv" is multi-episode aware when replacing episodes to avoid replacing a multi episode with a single episode for example. If the season folder for an input episode does not exist, it will be created automatically. The TV folder destinations that episodes will be moved/copied to, are set via the tvmv.conf file. You can set multiple TV destinations for the case when your TV collection is not located in the same directory/filesystem. Windows Libraries can also be used as the destination if Windows 7+. Some TV shows may be released with aliases (e.g. CSI NY = CSI New York). To ensure aliased episodes are moved/copied to the right place, aliases can be added to aliases.txt to map an alias to your TV show folder. See the FILES section for more information. OPTIONS FILE... The FILE argument(s) are the file paths for the episode files to be moved DIR... The DIR argument(s) are the file paths for directories that contain episode files to be moved or copied. Can be used with FILE. --config FILE Read the tvmv.conf config file from the path FILE -c, --copy This flag makes tvmv copy the input episode FILEs instead of moving them. -h, --help The help message will be output and the program will exit. -n, --native Use Java's NIO API's instead of using Java's IO Streams. Native IO will not display a progress bar, but will avoid performing a copy and delete when the source and destination are on the same filesystem if moving. -r, --replace This flag makes tvmv remove the existing episode file (under the season directory in one of the TV source folders) and moves/copies the input episode file to the season directory. -s, --skip-not-matched This flag makes tvmv skip any input files that cannot be matched. The default action is to exit when unable to match the episode. EPISODE IO By default, tvmv uses Java IO Streams to copy/move the episode files and display file transfer progress. When moving, a copy and delete is performed. Moving files this way is inefficient when the source and destination are on the same filesystem because a simple rename would suffice. To avoid this drawback, you can specify the -n, --native flag to use Java's NIO API's. Native IO will no longer display file transfer progress. Episodes files can contains multiple episode numbers so this is taken into account when replacing. Episodes are replaced in sets e.g. [1,2] => [1],[2]. If any episode in the set fails to be copied/moved, the previous transfers are rolled back to the original state of the episode set. When replacing episode files, the existing TV destination file to be replaced is moved to a temorary file in the same directory. If the copy or move operation succeeds, the temporary file will be deleted. If the operation fails, the the temporary file will restored and any other episodes in the set will be rolled back. FILES The TV destination directories should use the following structure: TV destination/Show Name/Season x/ TV destination/Show Name/Series x/ The following files are used by tvmv: tvmv.conf (REQUIRED) This file stores the configuration data for tvmv. This is where you define the TV destination files, and an optional episodes source directory. Windows 7+ users can also define a destination library. See sample.tvmv.conf for more information. aliases.txt This file stores TV show aliases that are mapped to a TV show directory. Multiple aliases can point to one show. The line format is: <SHOW_ALIAS>=<SHOW_DIRECTORY> There is no need to escape or quote characters. The file should be encoded as UTF-8 without the BOM. For example show alias "CSI NY" would map to show directory "CSI New York": CSI NY=CSI New York Default Configuration Directories The current directory is first checked for tvmv.conf, and if not found, the following directories are checked: Windows %USERPROFILE%\tvmv\ Linux ~/.config/tvmv/ Mac /Users/.config/tvmv/ EXAMPLES Lets define an example directory structure: tvmv.conf contains the lines: DESTINATION=D:\TV DESTINATION=\\archive\TV D:\TV | \\archive\TV Scrubs\ | CSI New York\ Season 1 | Season 1\ Modern Family\ | Season 2\ Season 1\ | Friends\ Season 2\ | Season 1\ tvmv /path/to/scrubs.s01e01e02.avi "Friends - 1x01 - Pilot.mkv" modern_family_301_blah.mp4 The example above will move: /path/to/scrubs.s01e01e02.avi to D:\TV\Scrubs\Season 1\scrubs.s01e01e02.avi Friends - 1x01 - Pilot.mkv to \\archive\\TV\Friends\Season 1\Friends - 1x01 - Pilot.mkv modern_family_301_blah.mp4 to D:\TV\Modern Family\Season 3\modern_family_301_blah.mp4 "D:\TV\Modern Family\Season 3" did not exist before running tvmv. Season directories are created as needed. Now that "D:\TV\Scrubs\Season 1\scrubs.s01e01e02.avi" exists, the following example shows how to replace this episode: tvmv -r /some/path/to/Scrubs_101_720p.mkv "/some/path/to/Scrubs - s01.e02.mkv" The episodes named Scrubs_101_720p.mkv and "Scrubs - s01.e02.mkv" are moved to "D:\TV\Scrubs\Season 1" and "D:\TV\Scrubs\Season 1\scrubs.s01e01e02.avi" will be deleted. If instead of passing Scrubs episodes 1 and 2 as arguments, only episode 1 was given, then the replacement would not succeed because episode 2 would lost in the replacement. If there is an alias defined in aliases.txt with the line: CSI NY=CSI New York Then the following example will move the file csi.ny.s02e01.name.avi to "\\archive\TV\CSI New York\Season 2\csi.ny.s02e01.name.avi". tvmv csi.ny.s02e01.name.avi COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2013, Sam Malone.
