GuessIt - a library for guessing information from video files.

Guessit

GuessIt is a python library that tries to extract as much information as possible from a video file.

It has a very powerful filename matcher that allows to guess a lot of metadata from a video using only its filename. This matcher works with both movies and tv shows episodes.

For example, GuessIt can do the following:

$ python guessit.py "Treme.1x03.Right.Place,.Wrong.Time.HDTV.XviD-NoTV.avi"
For: Treme.1x03.Right.Place,.Wrong.Time.HDTV.XviD-NoTV.avi
GuessIt found: {
    [1.00] "mimetype": "video/x-msvideo",
    [0.80] "episodeNumber": 3,
    [0.80] "videoCodec": "XviD",
    [1.00] "container": "avi",
    [1.00] "format": "HDTV",
    [0.70] "series": "Treme",
    [0.50] "title": "Right Place, Wrong Time",
    [0.80] "releaseGroup": "NoTV",
    [0.80] "season": 1,
    [1.00] "type": "episode"
}

Features

At the moment, the filename matcher is able to recognize the following property types:

[ title,                             # for movies and episodes
  series, season, episodeNumber,     # for episodes only
  date, year,                        # 'date' instance of datetime.date
  language, subtitleLanguage,        # instances of guessit.Language
  container, format,
  videoCodec, audioCodec,
  audioChannels, screenSize,
  releaseGroup, website,
  cdNumber, cdNumberTotal,
  filmNumber, filmSeries,
  bonusNumber, edition, other
  ]

Guessit also allows you to compute a whole lof of hashes from a file, namely all the ones you can find in the hashlib python module (md5, sha1, …), but also the Media Player Classic hash that is used (amongst others) by OpenSubtitles and SMPlayer, as well as the ed2k hash.

Install

Installing GuessIt is simple with pip:

$ pip install guessit

or, with easy_install:

$ easy_install guessit

But, you really shouldn’t do that.
