## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

tvnamer is a Python command-line utility for renaming TV episode files by parsing filenames and looking up episode metadata through tvdb_api and TheTVDB data.

### Projektgeschichte

The official GitHub repository was created in July 2009, placing tvnamer in the older generation of home-media-library command-line tools. Its README describes the core transformation from scene-style names such as `some.show.s01e03...avi` to cleaner names such as `Some Show - [01x03] - The Episode Name.avi`.

The README documents a v2-era shift toward extensive JSON configuration, saying custom configuration was one of the largest improvements in tvnamer v2. It later records Python 3.5+ support and notes that tvnamer 3 was the last version to support Python 2.7.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

tvnamer's adoption came from media-library automation rather than from a single platform ecosystem. The official README says pip is the official install method and also lists community packaging for Homebrew, Debian, FreeBSD/DragonFlyBSD/MacPorts, and Nix; the supplied package metadata records Homebrew, Nix, and Ubuntu entries.

Its package-manager relevance comes from the old but durable need to normalize downloaded or ripped TV episode files before media centers, NAS folders, and archive scripts consume them.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The basic workflow is `tvnamer file_or_directory`: tvnamer parses episode-like filenames, searches TVDB data, prompts the user to confirm a match, and renames files. It can run on individual files, multiple paths, directories, or recursively with `--recursive`.

For automation, the README highlights `--selectfirst`, `--always`, and `--batch`, plus `--series-id` for disambiguation. Users can save or place a JSON config at `~/.config/tvnamer/tvnamer.json` to customize language, filename formats, replacements, and safety behavior.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

tvnamer is a classic package-nerd utility: small, scriptable, long-lived, and very specific. It sits at the intersection of Python packaging, Homebrew/Debian/Nix distribution, and personal media curation workflows.

### Zeitleiste

- 2009: Official GitHub repository created.
- 2010s: v2 series introduced JSON configuration according to the README.
- 2020: README notes tvnamer 3 as the final Python 2.7-compatible release.
- 2021: GitHub metadata shows the last push in May 2021 while package metadata still records active package-manager entries.
