Metadata Editor

by Andrew "lathama" Latham

Background

I needed to cleanup the metadata name on a large number of MP4 files.

  • Ripping DVDs with makeMKV and processing with Handbrake
  • Serving over DLNA via minidlna
  • Devices displayed incorrect or hard to understand names
  • One DVD that was a double feature had both titles for each feature

Usage

$ ./metadataeditor.py -h
usage: metadataeditor [-h] (-s | -c) (-f FILENAME | -d DIRECTORY) [-v]

Metadata Editor

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s, --show            Show Metadata
  -c, --change          Change Metadata
  -f FILENAME, --filename FILENAME
                        Single Filename
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        Directory
  -v, --version         Show version

Requirements

I found mutagen[1] as an easy tool to use for this. I am doing a local whl import to keep this portable.

Quality

$ pylint metadataeditor.py
