tinyMediaManager
Scrapes and organizes metadata for a movie library
Description
A few hundred films on a drive, named like `Movie.2019.1080p.BluRay.x264-GROUP.mkv`, dropped into Kodi or Jellyfin — and the posters are blank, the plots are blank, and categorization comes down to guessing from folder names. tinyMediaManager fills that gap: it matches files against TMDb, IMDb and other sources and pulls back posters, stills, plots, cast, ratings and genres, writing them as NFO files and images beside the media so Kodi, Jellyfin, Emby or Plex pick everything up on the next scan.
It covers TV as well, matching series by season and episode, and groups films into movie sets for a series. After scraping it can rename files and folders, replacing the release-group string with a tidy "Title (Year)" structure. The interface lists the library on the left with completion status and shows details on the right across poster, plot, cast and media-info tabs.
Java-based, running on Windows, macOS and Linux. The free version covers everyday scraping, with a paid Pro version for advanced features.
Automatic metadata scraping: matches titles against TMDb, IMDb and others and retrieves title, year, plot, cast, genre, rating and release details without manual entry.
Artwork download: fetches posters, fanart, clearart and thumbnails, so the media center stops showing grey placeholders.
NFO generation: metadata is written beside the media in the NFO format Kodi, Jellyfin and Emby understand, so they read it without scraping again.
TV series handling: shows are matched by series, season and episode, with episode titles and summaries filled in across a whole season folder at once.
Movie sets: films in a series can be grouped into sets and presented that way in the media center.
Bulk renaming: files and folders rename from customizable templates, turning release-tagged names into a consistent structure.
Media info: reads resolution, codec, audio tracks and subtitles from the files themselves and records them in the metadata for filtering and sorting.
Completion at a glance: the list marks whether metadata, posters and artwork are complete per title, so gaps are visible without opening each entry.
Cross-platform: Java-based with Windows, macOS and Linux builds; the free version handles normal use and Pro adds advanced capabilities.
