Python script to rename SportTorrents files to TSDB naming convention to appease SportScanner Plex agent for proper metadata parsing

                                    **D i s c l a i m e r :**
- This script is not perfect. Im still working on the logic to get the matching more presice. But overall, it does a good job.
- Please double check your results and report back specific files that do not get named.

Requirments:

Python 3.0+

SETUP ENV:

  pip install csv

  pip install os

  pip install re

HOW TO:

1. Download: https://github.com/AcidAlchamy/Acids-SportTorrent-Renamer/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
2. Extract somewhere
3. Update Renamer.py with your actual Paths
4. Open Command Prompt (or equal..)
5. Type: "cd {Location of Acids-SportTorrent-Renamer}"
6. Type: "python Renamer.py"

--Script should now be trying to match & rename your files in video_dir to the data in csv_dir

TheSportDB offers 3 styles of naming conventions to work along Plex and Kodi.

The script can extract either of the 3 naming conventions. Simply edit the Renamer.py code and select your desired column to pull the new name from.

Request Data: To request .csv data for your specific desired league, please visit "https://thesportsdb.com/" and find your League, and send me a Pull Request with the League ID associated with the League. (i.e, https://thesportsdb.com/league/4380 - "4380" is the League ID for the NHL)

I will refresh the Data folder every few days.

Tools:

Organizer.py - I made this script with the aim of automatically moving/Organizing files that were freshly renamed. currently this script creates a folder for every league that TSDB covers...which...is 989 leagues or something... Please be prepared for that! OR edit the code in Organizer.py to only handle the Leagues you like.

Instructions:

1. Edit the code in Organizer.py and highlight 'J:

2. Toggle Ctrl + H to "Replace"

3. Write new desired Drive letter/location.

4. Toggle Ctrl + Alt + Enter to Confirm replacement.

5. Your Code should be updated:

For Sport Torrents, the most consistent naming convention to follow was provided by this twitter account @SportTorrents; this made the job of making a Renamer much "easier".
