There may become a time where someone wants to obtain some media from the popular get_iplayer application to add to their Sonarr library.
Sonarr doesn’t like importing such files by default because the season and episode numbers aren’t in a common format.
I couldn’t find any easily automated method to rename the files into a supported format online, so I’ve pieced together a small script to help achieve this quickly and easily.
Griffin PowerMate for Windows 10 This repository is a simple way to reprogram the Griffin powermate, that works in windows 10. We first override the Griffin powermate driver with WinUSB, which is a generic user-space driver. Then, we use python to interface with the raw powermate's signals, and output whatever keyboard/mouse events we want. Download Griffin PowerMate free. Drivers for the.
I’m not a programmer, but do have enough experience to know roughly what a piece of code is doing so please bear this in mind with my script, it may not be perfect or perform all necessary functions but it should help you enough to get Sonarr to correctly recognise them and it can then rename appropriately upon import if your installation is set to do so.
This is made mostly by code samples found online with some minor modifications, your mileage may vary. This script is designed to run on media files for a single TV show at a time, not one large folder with multiple shows downloaded into it (mostly due to my future hopes/plans for the script).
Open up a new plaintext editor such as Notepad on Windows, then paste the following:
PowerMate is compatible with Mac OS X, and Windows XP and Vista. Simply download the appropriate software for your operating system from the Downloads section on the right side of the PowerMate support page.This software is not fully compatible with Windows 7, 8, or 10. PsychPowerMate - A driver for the Griffin Technology PowerMate USB knob. Note: This driver is currently only for the PowerMate USB edition, not for the bluetooth product. It best supports modern Linux systems, e.g., Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS or later, Debian-8 or later, or other similar modern systems with version 2.9.0 or later of the “evdev” X11.
You should edit line two, to insert the path to your downloaded video files, you’ll need to do this for each new folder of media that you wish to rename, then save it as a vbscript file, for example “rename.vbs”.
Double-click it and accept any security warning to allow it to run and you should then see your media names with the common SxxExx naming format.
This script works by searching for and replacing certain values. It doesn’t account for all types of files downloaded through get_iplayer, for example it doesn’t recognise special episodes because their file name doesn’t include the word “Series”.
I may improve this over time, I would like to add the following:
Griffin Powermate Usb
- Recognise special episodes and move them to a subfolder for manual renaming
- Organise files into subfolders by season for easier copy/paste into your media library
- Scan recursive media folders with multiple shows
For now though, I just wanted to get it working well enough for my needs which it does, and share it with anyone else who may find it useful.
