I've been learning bash and working on scripts to automate stuff in my homelab. It's been a lot of fun. I'm currently working on a script that will rename the movies and TV shows I rip from my DVD collection.
The script queries the tmdb api, presents me with a mwnu of matches if there's multiple matches, renames the media files according to jellyfin spec, and then places them in the proper folders to be indexed by Jellyfin and Kodi.
Bash variable manipulation is really, really fun.
Would you mind sharing the code?
Love me some homelab automation. It puts a smile on my face when I get a little ding from telegram giving me a summary of this morning's email, what the weather will be for the day along with a summary of established connections to my servers 'cause I'm paranoid like that. LOL fun stuff
