Overview

Organizes videos and their assosciated files into a single folder matching the name of the video file. Primarily written as a way to create folders for each movie from a flat directory in preparation for bulk import to Radarr. Basically an enhanced version of this, which I had trouble getting to work. https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/wiki/How-to-Create-a-Folder-for-Each-Movie

Written in a hasty and exhausted state so the code is by no means pretty or efficient, but it seems to work well in my limited tests.

Example:

Turns this...

.
├── a.mkv
├── a.txt
├── b.mkv
├── c.mkv
├── c.srt
├── d.mkv
├── e.mkv
├── f.mp4
├── g.mp4
├── h.mp4
└── pizza.is.good.mov

... into this ...

.
├── a
│   ├── a.mkv
│   └── a.txt
├── b
│   └── b.mkv
├── c
│   ├── c.mkv
│   └── c.srt
├── d
│   └── d.mkv
├── e
│   └── e.mkv
├── f
│   └── f.mp4
├── g
│   └── g.mp4
├── h
│   └── h.mp4
└── pizza.is.good
    └── pizza.is.good.mov

Limitations

• Only runs against individual files in root of specified directory, doesn't look at / touch existing directories, no recursion.
• Only handles one directory at a time.
• Only creates folders based on specific video file extensions such as mp4, mkv, m4v, avi, mov (though more can be added by editing the with those types. future version might contain a more easy to edit list)
• Currently only available as Linux shell script
• **Test first using dry parameter. Use at your own risk. **

Usage

folderize.sh [dry|live] /absolute/path/to/folder

dry [Recommended the first time] will makes empty, dummy copies of all files in the path parameter in /tmp/folderize_dry_run and executes the re-organization against them so you can see what the results will be like before running it against your actual files.

live will run it for real on files in path parameter

Examples

Command output from run against test structure from above.

$ folderize.sh live /tmp/folderizer_tests/
Running against folder: /tmp/folderizer_tests
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/a.mkv' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/a/a.mkv'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/a.txt' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/a/a.txt'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/b.mkv' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/b/b.mkv'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/c.mkv' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/c/c.mkv'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/c.srt' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/c/c.srt'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/d.mkv' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/d/d.mkv'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/e.mkv' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/e/e.mkv'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/f.mp4' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/f/f.mp4'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/g.mp4' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/g/g.mp4'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/h.mp4' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/h/h.mp4'
renamed '/tmp/folderizer_tests/pizza.is.good.mov' -> '/tmp/folderizer_tests/pizza.is.good/pizza.is.good.mov'
Done

Result of run on "dirty" folder of videos

Forgot to do a before / after so this is just after folderize was run. Most individual files were in the root folder, but some were already in their own individual folders (probably all the ones with subfolders and a few others). Some filenames do not match the parent foldername because Radarr renaming was done afterwards but it gives an examples of getting all the right files into a folder for that movie.
