Anyone know/recommend something like beets for movies/movie series?

Anyone know/recommend something like beets for movies/serials/anime?

Mainly I just want to organize and rename files with some smarts like understanding seasons or related files with subtitles. CLI preferred.

Most people just use Sonarr/Radarr for this, though it can be tricky with anime specifically because you are pretty much locked into TMDB metadata, which might not be what you want for some series (alternate orders, absolute or series numbering, season 2/3 being different shows entirely, side series being specials not a season etc. etc. etc).

I've used TinyMediaManager before, not open source (other than a very old version that is still out there last time I checked), but the free version is reasonably powerful, especially if you want to customise the details of your naming/folder structures or do custom metadata or ordering. has some CLI functions but is mostly intended as a gui app.

Thanks, I will check out TinyMediaManager.

Sonarr/radarr + bazaar? Not cli though

Yeh, it seems the only good way. But will bring so much not needed function to the mix.

I think FileBot would fit all your criteria.

FileBot Thanks, looks promising. Only problem closed source. I do not mind to pay for license, but do not like running unknown code on my server.

Take a look at this comment thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/17di1vc/comment/k5xkfqd/

It may or may not work for your purposes, seems like mixed results being reported by others. Haven't tried it myself but could be worth a look.

Fileflows can probably be configured to do this. I only use it to convert everything to HEVC but it’s a node based workflow and you could roll in renaming and tagging.
