HI, I have been searching for this but haven't found anything suitable so requesting help here.

I download movies, series and animes in english (mainly) but also french and Spanish.
Once these are downloaded I want to rename them, in the french title if an original french movie, in the Spanish title for a Spanish movie and in English for any others even if the original title isn't English (it could be a Japanese, German etc).
Once all renamed, they should be moved to specific folders according to type and language ("Films" folder for french movies, "Movies" for English movies etc..)

I found most of the French movies are located in IMDB so trying to rename from this DB but with English translated Titles so when I try renaming all these files (as they come / being downloaded in this single folder), the French movies aren't being found/renamed.

I think (tell me if I'm wrong) I would need to localise the movie/serie/anime country of origin in order to identify French or Spanish ones and to rename from the "original title" from the IMDB.

I have tried to adapt quite a few scripts to my needs but getting stuck as I am getting lost in all the scripting so help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

1. Get spoken language
2. Get localized title for spoken language


e.g. EDIT: THIS SNIPPET IS OUTDATED (see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3761)

This approach assume that "Spoken Languages" is defined in the database. You can come up with other rules (e.g. if path contains XYZ then English otherwise French).

e.g.

Code: Select all

{localize[languages.first()].name}

it still doesn't pick up the french titles on my tests.

I have 2 movies on test:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046688/
&
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077563/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

If you want the "original name" then you don't need to localize anything at all:
1.
Use TheMovieDB. Never use IMDb, not even for links. If not using TheMovieDB, then many optional features and bindings won't work.

I guess {languages} is not known for these movies.

Popular movies will work just fine:

If {languages} is not defined, then you can go to TheMovieDB and add the missing information.


4.

i.e.

How do I use the {localize} dynamic localization binding?
