kirk is a python application which allows one to quickly and easily rename a collection of tv files with a preferred structure. kirk uses configurable regular expressions to extract the metadata necessary to query a unique episode from a tv database. A simple markup language is defined, similar to picard which allows a user to customize the format of the renamed file.

Example Session

>>$ ls -R Pioneer\ One/
Pioneer One/:

pioneer.one.s01e01.avi  pioneer.one.s01e03.avi  pioneer.one.s01e05.avi
pioneer.one.s01e02.avi  pioneer.one.s01e04.avi  pioneer.one.s01e06.avi
>>$ kirk Pioneer\ One

Features

• User defined perl style regular expressions to parse various file names.

.*\.[sS]([0-9]{2,2})[eE][0-9]{2,2}\..*

• Customizable output format with markup language.

%Name% - S%season%E%episode% - %Title%

• Backup option to create hard links with the existing file names for easy reversion

Some Ideas for Future Development

• GUI to stage renames and make regular expression formatting easier. Modeled after picard.
• Investigate modifying video tags
• Full plugin system so that you can scrape info from more than TV Rage
• Develop automated testing suite
• List of accepted extensions to operate on
• Depreciate showid option. When there are multiple results for a parsed name, show them to the user and let the user decide. When no name can be found, let a user enter one.
