media_work_queue

let's you build a queue of tasks to perform various operations

Usage

1. You will build your work queue as a series of commands in media_work_queue.py.
2. There are various helper methods defined in the Helpers section for common scenarios.
3. Script out your work queue in the Start Here section. There is already an example queue scripted there which you can use as a guide but should delete when you make your own queue.
4. By default (if enabled) the script will send a Pushbullet notification upon queue completion however you can add or remove as many Pushbullet notifications as you like by simply using the push_bullet helper method wherever you would like a notification sent.
5. Save the file and exit.
6. From the command line python media_work_queue.py
7. Your queue should now run to completetion. INFO level messages will appear in the command prompt and DEBUG level info is available in the log file. At the end of a run the script will log out any jobs that failed.

Customize

config.ini

• LogFile - Customize the name of the log file
• Handbrake ExePath - Set the path to your Handbrake.exe
• Handbrake Preset - Change the Handbrake Preset Profile used
• 7zip ExePath - Set the path to your 7zip.exe
• 7zip ArchivePassword - Set password to encrypt/decrypt 7zip files
• Media Output Paths - Set the output paths to your different media libraries
• FeatturetteFolderName - If you name your Featurette folder something else set it here
• Pushbullet Notifications - You can enable or disable (true/false) Pushbullet notifications here as well as set your ApiKey.

media_work_queue.py

• Logging - You can customize the logging level and handlers in the Logging section.

convertMKV.py

• Output Directory - When you convert a movie or tv show it is expected that you are converting from location A (the path you pass in) to location B (hardcoded property). If you would like to change this behaviour then you will need to modify convertMKV.py.

zip_files.py

• Commands - The individual commands that are used can be modified in the Commands section. For instance, if you do not use a password to encrypt/decrypt archive files then you could remove the -p{} flag from the zip_command and unzip_command. Note, you would also need to modify where these commands are used in their respective methods and remove the password parameter from being passed in the string.format().
