A very simple tool to generate Jellyfin folder
names using data from IMDb. By way of example, for the television show
Blackadder, this tool will
generate the folder name Blackadder (1982) [imdbid-tt0084988]:
Designed to be as efficient as possible, you use it hands-free:
- Monitors the clipboard for IMDb IDs, e.g. within a URL.
- Automatically writes generated folder names to the clipboard.
If you prefer, you can enter only the title and year, and attempt to look up the IMDB ID using this tool. However, in practice, it is typically easier to search for the content on the IMDb website using a web browser, and then simply copy the URL to the clipboard.
The program does not create or monitor folders on the file system.
Developed with Python 3.12, PySide 6.6, and Cinemagoer. Tested under Windows 10 and 11.
This project is not affiliated with Jellyfin or IMDb.
To install the program on Windows, click on the Releases link here in GitHub, and download the installer for the latest version.
The installer is only for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. It should work equally well on Linux and macOS, but to use it you need to know how to install Python packages and run a Python script. If somebody would like to volunteer to produce a macOS installer, I would be delighted (I don’t own a Mac myself). If there is demand, I can create a Linux installer.
