$ tidyup
Import avutil:
import avutil
Search folder recursively to find videos:
folder = "StudyResource"
videos = avutil.Search_folder(folder)
# videos: map { designatio -> [ slice_paths ] }
Or you can specify the extension type of video
videos = avutil.Search_folder(folder, media_suffix={".mp4", ".wmv", ".avi", ".mkv"})
Pull video info from LIBRARY by default & download cover image
for designatio, file_paths in videos.items():
video = avutil.Video(designatio, file_paths)
# Pull video info
video.pull_info()
# Download cover image (as video.title + .jpg)
video.download_cover()
It's okey using BUS
# Pull video info
video.pull_info(source=avutil.Bus)
Save video info as .nfo file
# Save video info
video.save_info()
Tidy up!
# Tidy up (rename to video.designatio + video.actors)
video.rename()
Proxy is supported in avutil in two ways, you can either pass http-proxy in code
video.pull_info(http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:1087")
video.download_cover(http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:1087")
Or define a global bash variable (eg. http proxy):
$ export HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:1087"
