Medicure
Medicure is a cosmetic treatment for your media files: movies, TV shows and also their subtitles. Medicure provides a command-line tool and also a Python package for you to properly rename, sort tracks and correct tracks info for your files.
Name
The word medicure is combination of media and the Latin word cura which means "care".
Installation
The easiest way to install is from PyPI:
pip install medicure
Alternatively, you can install directly from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/alirezatheh/medicure.git
Requirements
- TMDB API Key: Medicure uses TMDB's API to get correct info for movies and TV shows. So you need to create a TMDB account and generate an API key in order to use Medicure.
- Mediainfo: Medicure requires Mediainfo to extract track info from video and audio files.
-
MKVToolNix: Medicure uses
mkvmerge
to craete new treated media files.mkvmerge
is one of the MKVToolNix's command-line tools.
Simple Example
In this example we want to treat Peaky Blinders's Season 6 video files, downloaded from PSArips.
First we search for the TV show in TMDB to see
season names. In this case season name starts with Series
. In our TV shows
directory we create Peaky Blinders/Series 6
directory and put the files
there. Directory structure will look like this:
TV Shows
βββ Peaky Blinders
βββ Series 6
βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E01.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.HEVC.PSA.AM.mkv
βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E02.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E03.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E04.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E05.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E06.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
And each file has the following track infos:
Type | Title | Language | Default | Forced |
---|---|---|---|---|
Video | Undetermined | Yes | No | |
Audio | English | Yes | No | |
Subtitle | English | Yes | No |
Now we run the following python snippet:
from pathlib import Path
from medicure import Medicure, DubbingSupplier
medicure = Medicure(
tmdb_api_key='YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY',
tvshows_directory=Path('path/to/tvshows_directory'),
)
medicure.treat_media(
# You can find this in url of TV show in IMDb.
imdb_id='tt2442560',
file_search_patterns=[
# We have only one file for each episode that can be found by
# this pattern.
'PSA',
],
video_language_code='eng',
video_source='PSA',
video_release_format='WEB-DL',
dubbing_suppliers=[
# In this example we only have one dubbing supplier and that's
# which contains original audio and subtitle.
DubbingSupplier(
name='original',
file_id=0,
correct_language_code='eng',
audio_language_code='eng',
subtitle_language_code='eng',
),
],
season_number=6,
)
Then directory structure will look like this:
TV Shows
βββ Peaky Blinders
βββ Series 6
β βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E01.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.HEVC.PSA.AM.mkv
β βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E02.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
β βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E03.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
β βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E04.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
β βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E05.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
β βββ Peaky.Blinders.S06E06.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
βββ Series 6 Edited
βββ Peaky Blinders - S06E01 - Black Day.mkv
βββ Peaky Blinders - S06E02 - Black Shirt.mkv
βββ Peaky Blinders - S06E03 - Gold.mkv
βββ Peaky Blinders - S06E04 - Sapphire.mkv
βββ Peaky Blinders - S06E05 - The Road to Hell.mkv
βββ Peaky Blinders - S06E06 - Lock and Key.mkv
And each file track infos:
Type | Title | Language | Default | Forced |
---|---|---|---|---|
Video | PSA WEB-DL | English | Yes | No |
Audio | English | Yes | No | |
Subtitle | English | No | No |
Let's treat again, this time using Medicure's command-line interface.
Since we're using CLI for the first time, we need to save our TMDB API key and TV shows directory locally:
medicure save tmdb-info YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY
medicure save collection-info \
--tvshows-directory PATH_TO_YOUR_TVSHOWS_DIRECTORY
Now we can run:
medicure treat media \
tt2442560 \
'["PSA"]' \
eng \
PSA \
WEB-DL \
'[["original", 0, "eng", "eng", "eng"]]' \
