Select 'Edit Source' to add more locations, and 'Change Content' to change the media type and scraper if necessary. If you want to include multiple folder locations within single libraries, you'll need to browse to the Files view, then right-click the library name (or select it and press c on the keyboard) to bring up a context menu. Now repeat for the other types of media you have. This gives you access to your content with filters such as genres, title or year to help navigate larger collections. Once done, you'll find a new entry – Library – has been added to the media menu on the main screen.

Click 'OK' twice and choose 'Yes' when prompted to update the library. The Set Content dialogue box will pop up – use the up and down arrow buttons to select the type of media you're cataloguing and verify the selected scraper is the one you want to use.Ĭheck the content scanning options – the defaults should be fine for most people – and click 'Settings' to review advanced options (you may want to switch certification country to the UK for movies, eg). If you've plugged in a USB device, you'll find it under root/media, while NAS drives are typically found under 'Windows Network (SMB)'. Click 'Browse' and select the top-level folder containing the type of media you're adding – TV, movies or music. Just plug the drive into your Raspberry Pi, browse to Videos or Music and choose the 'Add…' option.
I’ll stick to TMM since it’s what works for me.A simpler option – if you have a spare USB port on your Raspberry Pi – is to store your media on an external thumb or hard drive. It’s a nice setup for the automation of downloads, but it gives far too little customization for solely managing media file metadata. It also stripped my library of any custom tags I had in my nfo files on a library import good thing I had a backup. Unfortunately the *arr stack did not work for me as their metadata generation isn’t as customizable and granular for me, with no way to edit metadata once it has been imported. Checking their documentation, they support both renaming and the creation of sidecar and nfo files for Kodi, and they appear to be both lightweight and customizable/configurable enough for me.Įdit 4: A final update to anyone who might be reading this thread. It's currently the most promising one of the bunch, however I could easily think of ways to integrate it into my setup + Jellyfin if there isn't any other program out there.Įdit 3: The *arr stack of apps is my best bet at this point. There's no nfo generation as well.Įdit 2: I found mnamer and it seems to cover my flexible file renaming needs, but they won't do metadata or nfo generation. It has a plugin that auto-organizes files out of a folder that it monitors, but it's not as flexible or customizable as I'd like. If I did have to choose from any of the three, I'd likely go with Jellyfin for a fully-open source solution. The aforementioned media servers don't seem to be able to do this out of the box (or from what I've seen in the documentation), nor do they have any plugins that fit my use-case.
TMM does have its own internal database, but all the scraped metadata is available outside of TMM as well in the form of external images and nfo files alongside the video.

I know Medusa and other similar TV show managers can do automatic nfo generation that's compatible with Kodi, but I don't need a downloader and would ideally like one that works for movies as well.Įdit: I've looked at Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby, and while they're all reasonably fully-featured, I'd still want a media manager that can manage files and still remain independent of one particular platform, and one that's fairly lightweight (no need for transcoding, streaming over web, automatic downloading, syncing to Trakt all my media viewing will be done on my HTPCs). Subtitle management (not needed but nice to have).

#Kodi file renamer Pc#
Is there any available self-hosted media management program, something akin to TinyMediaManager but accessible over a web interface? I use TMM running on my PC to index, sort, and rename movies and TV shows on my NAS which lets me organize each file just the way I like it, also keeping it sorted independently from my two HTPCs running Kodi (just reading the TMM generated nfo file containing metadata on each library update).
