batch-analyze movies for specific properties

[remo]

Hello Pros

I’d like to build a script to batch-analyze a folder containing all my movie files (eintirely mkv).

My goal is it to finally have a text file listing up all file names where one of the following properties are true:

- bitrate < 3000
- x-resolution < 1920 (better != full-hd)
- at least 1 audio track < 5.1 (6 channels)
- frame rate < 24p

The text file should contain then the appropriate file names with its “true” property or its “true” properties, eg:

“Matrix (1999).mkv 2999kbs 1880x1080 2channels 22fps”

OR

“8 Mile (2002).mkv 1918x860”

...is FileBot capable of doing this?

I have a huge movie collection and want to tidy up a little bit

Thank you so far.

The filebot -mediainfo command can do that.

e.g. use --filter to select only files that match your criteria:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "bitrate > 3000 && width >= 1920" --format "{fn} {resolution}"
Avatar 1920x1080

e.g. print the results for your conditions for all files:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -mediainfo -r . --format "{fn} {bitrate > 3000} {width >= 1920}"
Avatar true true

EDIT:

You can then combine that with -exec to batch-delete these files:
viewtopic.php?t=11078

Thank you. I‘ll give it a try.

Is there also any binding to determine wether the movie‘s source is bluray or hdtv or web?

Is there also any binding to determine wether the movie‘s source is bluray or hdtv or web?

e.g.

Code: Select all

{source}

Great. Got it so far.
One more thing:
Is there any possibility to check if the current filename matches a specific format?

Kind of:
—filter „fn != {plex.name}“

??

[rednoah]

I suppose this could work:

Code: Select all

f.path.contains(plex.path)

Note that {plex} only works for files that are already xattr tagged. Please read Metadata and Extended Attributes for details.

[remo]

Ok, no way.

Another idea:
does f or fn have any attribute which contains the "

Code: Select all

Filename

" property (Mediainfo-App, "

Code: Select all

Filename

" Property)

-remo

[remo]

I’ll try to describe it in another way:

When opening a movie file in Mediainfo on my Mac, there is a field labeled „Filename“. This field contains a string written into the movie file‘s metadata by MKVtoolNix - usually I do this manually.

Can FileBot CLI read out that field/property?
The FileBot GUI can!
But I didn‘t find any way via CLI.

You can directly access any MediaInfo property:
viewtopic.php?t=4285

{media.FileName} is the same as {fn} though, the current file name without extension.

{mediaTitle} is the media title that's embedded in the file content.

[remo]

Thank you very much!
This works great!

But, now I ran into another issue:
How can I catch the case when a movie file does not have set {mediaTitle}?

Let's say when it's null or empty.

My --filter statement only works when {mediaTitle} is already embedded in the file content (!= null).

Short: I want to filter files where no {mediaTitle} is set or where {mediaTitle} differs from {fn} ...
(part behind or is already working)

[rednoah]

Read this:
viewtopic.php?t=1895

[remo]

Got everything working so far.

But I am not able to filter for files which have null or empty mediaTitle tag.
Even after reading viewtopic.php?t=1895 multiple times and trying a lot.

Something like this would be nice:

Code: Select all

filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "mediaTitle.size() < 1 || !mediaTitle" --format "{fn}"

I need some further assistance please.

-remo

[rednoah]

You'll want to catch mediaTitle errors and return true for those, as uncaught errors default to false as far as --filter expressions are concerned:

Code: Select all

--filter "any{!mediaTitle}{true}"

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1895

[remo]

Thank you!

Code: Select all

--filter 'any{!mediaTitle}{true}'

with single ' ... ' instead of double " ... " did the Job!

Here's my entire code.
I want to share my snippets for everyone who is interested in:

Code: Select all

// general file info
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "hd != 'HD' || vf != '1080p' || ext != 'mkv' || vc != 'x264' || af != '6ch'" --format "{fn} === {hd} - {vf} - {ext} - {vc} - {af}"

// audio stream name
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "audio[0].title != 'Titel 1'" --format "{fn} === {audio[0].title}"
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "audio[1].title != 'Titel 2'" --format "{fn} === {audio[1].title}"

// audio stream language
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "audioLanguages[0].name != 'German'" --format "{fn} === {audioLanguages[0].name}"
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "audioLanguages[1].name != 'English'" --format "{fn} === {audioLanguages[1].name}"

// is first audio stream default
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "audio[0].default != 'Yes'" --format "{fn} === {audio[0].default}"

// first subtitle name
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "text[0].title != 'erzwungen'" --format "{fn} === {text[0].title}"

// first subtitle language
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "text[0].language != 'de'" --format "{fn} === {text[0].language}"

// is first subtitle default and forced
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "text[0].default != 'Yes' || text[0].forced != 'Yes'" --format "{fn} === {text[0].default} - {text[0].forced}"

// count embedded video, audio and subtitle streams
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "video.size() > 1 || audio.size() > 2 || text.size() > 1" --format "{fn} === {video.size()} - {audio.size()} - {text.size()}"

// find files smaller than 3gb and larger than 15gb
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "bytes < 3000000000 || bytes > 15000000000" --format "{fn} === {gigabytes}"

// find files where embedded media title differs from actual file name
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "mediaTitle != fn.substring(0,fn.size()-7)" --format "{fn} === {mediaTitle}"
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "mediaTitle != fn" --format "{fn} === {mediaTitle}"

// find files where embedded media title is null or empty
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter 'any{!mediaTitle}{true}' --format "{fn} === {mediaTitle}"

One more thing to make my analyze scripts as useful as possible:

is the also a way for filebot/mediainfo to detect embedded text-based subtitles?

I suppose you could check the subtitle format via MediaInfo properties:
viewtopic.php?t=4285

[remo]

Done.

Code: Select all

// is first subtitle stream not a picture-based subtitle
filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "text[0].format != 'VobSub'" --format "{fn} === {text[0].format}"

Thank you very much for your incredible support!!!

[remo]

Is there also a way to count the results?

[remo]

Got it.

[rednoah]

wc -l is your friend:

Code: Select all

<any commands that prints lines> | wc -l
