Post-processing videos and related files to provide you with a cleaner end-result
- Flattens the contents
- Sometimes uploaders embed video and other file types in a crazy folder structure, first we flatten this out so we can process everything.
- Removes files smaller than 60MB
- This is of course an arbitrary number I chose based on experience, anything smaller than that is typically NOT something we need.
- Attempts to fix obfuscated video file names
- Only works with downloads that contain a single video file, i.e. it won't work with TV seasons or multi-part movie downloads. In other words, there can only be one primary video file in the folder to be processed for this to work.
- Removes Title and Comments metadata
- This is done to avoid media libraries like Plex reading from the metadata as opposed to file name. I recently ran into a scenario where Plex had read a file's metadata title and used that in the library as opposed to parsing the file name. This has caused some wild names to appear in my library.
- python3
- ffmpeg (for metadata removal)
- Set a scripts folder under: Settings > Folders > Scripts folder
- Drop the script into the folder you set and make sure sabnzbd has rights (Linux: sudo chmod +x process_videos.py)
- Set the script to run for certain categories under: Settings > Categories (i.e. TV or Movies or any other video categories you might have)
