SortTV - Sorting Movies

A application that can automatically sorts TV show episodes into an organised
directory structure. Can optionally move non-episodes into a separate directory. Also optional integration with xbmc (notification and library update).

Project located at : http://sourceforge.net/projects/sorttv/ at the time of writing the latest version was SortTV1.37

Download and extract the files and edit the configuration file (sorttv.conf)

most important values to set:

• directory-to-sort=
• tv-directory=
• music-directory=
• movie-directory=

and execute with perl;

perl sorttv.pl  or ./sorttv.pl

If you experience some errors it will be most likely perl libraries that are missing these can be installed with:

sudo apt-get install libwww-perl  
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install TVDB::API'  
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install WWW::TheMovieDB::Search'  
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install WWW::TheMovieDB'  
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install JSON::Parse'  

Titles can be substituted in the configuration file (sorttv.conf)

# Substitute the titles of these shows
show-name-substitute=CSI-->CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
show-name-substitute=CSI Crime Scene Investigation-->CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
show-name-substitute=Sanctuary US-->Sanctuary
show-name-substitute=Shit My Dad Says-->$#*! My Dad Says

To make this task easier in ubuntu a Nautilus script can be created to add the sorttv command to the context menu (Right click > scripts)

Paste the following code into

~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts

or
right click > scripts > open scripts folder

then add the following code to a file and name it something that make sense e.g. Sorttv-Organiser

#!/bin/bash
notify-send "SortTV" "Script started to sort  " -i ~/Pictures/sorttv.png -t 500
/opt/applications/sorttv/sorttv.pl
notify-send "SortTV" "Script completed " -i ~/Pictures/sorttv.png -t 5000

in this example
notify-send is used to send a notification to the desktop and
/opt/applications/sorttv/ the location of sorttv application

Whenever you want to sort just right click in Nautilus and run the script
