I've just tried it and I've got this error:

Analyzing Plex database:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./perplex.py", line 125, in
movies = build_db(args.plex)
File "./perplex.py", line 34, in build_db
db = sqlite3.connect(dbfile)
ValueError: database parameter must be string or APSW Connection object

So I guess if is this project still in place or not working with latest Plex DBs.

Thanks

hey.
this tool is really awesome. just what i looked for.
but my problem is, i plan to only rename a "unsorted"-directory, not matched by filebot. so this can be matched/reviewed inside plex and then let it move by perplex.
is this possible?

thank you

./perplex.py --save movies.db --plex /var/plex

File "/scripts/./perplex.py", line 32
print "Analyzing Plex database:",

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Analyzing Plex database:", end=" ")?

Unfortunately it seems that this script cannot handle non-ascii characters in filenames - in original name as well as in the new name.

Alway get similar messages to: "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u010d' in position 22: ordinal not in range(128)"

Hi,

Any chance in the rename you could add the imbd to the folder name as noted in the plex naming documentation? I try to leave the actual movie file name alone so I know the source and quality.

https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/

Example:
/Movies
/Batman Begins (2005) {imdb-tt0372784}
Batman.Begins.2005.REMASTERED.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC-RARBG.mp4

Thanks

Sample of dry run from "python3 perplex.py --load plex.db --justRename /movies/ --dry"
Start Renaming the files in their original path
/movies/Unsorted/12 Years A Slave/12 Years A Slave 1080p AC3.mkv
/movies/Unsorted/12 Years A Slave/12 Years a Slave (2013)/12 Years a Slave (2013).mkv
/movies/Unsorted/1917 (2019)/1917 (2019) 1080p AC3.mkv
/movies/Unsorted/12 Years A Slave/1917 (2020)/1917 (2020).mkv

/movies/Unsorted/12 Years A Slave/2040 (2019)/2040 (2019).mkv

12 Years A Slave is part of root folder after.

Does this script work on databases in the Windows version of Plex? It took me a bit of troubleshooting/getting the progressbar and running everything with python2, but I am getting the below error running the script

Analyzing Plex database: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./perplex.py", line 125, in <module> movies = build_db(args.plex) File "./perplex.py", line 43, in build_db year = row[2].split('-')[0]
I copied the database onto a Raspberry pi and re-ran it, but I'm getting the same errors.

hi
grat work with the movies
Is it possible do it this with tvshows?
thanks

Is there a way to just rename the files where they are instead of putting them a separate output directory? I have several TBs of files split between hard drives and no single output folder is going to hold everything.

Thanks
