Medicure

Medicure is a cosmetic treatment for your media files: movies, TV shows and also their subtitles. Medicure provides a command-line tool and also a Python package for you to properly rename, sort tracks and correct tracks info for your files.

Name

The word medicure is combination of media and the Latin word cura which means "care".

Installation

The easiest way to install is from PyPI:

pip install medicure

Alternatively, you can install directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/alirezatheh/medicure.git

Requirements

• TMDB API Key: Medicure uses TMDB's API to get correct info for movies and TV shows. So you need to create a TMDB account and generate an API key in order to use Medicure.
• Mediainfo: Medicure requires Mediainfo to extract track info from video and audio files.
• MKVToolNix: Medicure uses mkvmerge to craete new treated media files. mkvmerge is one of the MKVToolNix's command-line tools.

Simple Example

In this example we want to treat Peaky Blinders's Season 6 video files, downloaded from PSArips.

First we search for the TV show in TMDB to see season names. In this case season name starts with Series. In our TV shows directory we create Peaky Blinders/Series 6 directory and put the files there. Directory structure will look like this:

TV Shows
└── Peaky Blinders
    └── Series 6
        ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E01.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.HEVC.PSA.AM.mkv
        ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E02.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
        ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E03.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
        ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E04.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
        ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E05.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
        └── Peaky.Blinders.S06E06.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv

And each file has the following track infos:

Type	Title	Language	Default	Forced
Video		Undetermined	Yes	No
Audio		English	Yes	No
Subtitle		English	Yes	No

Now we run the following python snippet:

from pathlib import Path

from medicure import Medicure, DubbingSupplier

medicure = Medicure(
    tmdb_api_key='YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY',
    tvshows_directory=Path('path/to/tvshows_directory'),
)
medicure.treat_media(
    # You can find this in url of TV show in IMDb.
    imdb_id='tt2442560',
    file_search_patterns=[
        # We have only one file for each episode that can be found by
        # this pattern.
        'PSA',
    ],
    video_language_code='eng',
    video_source='PSA',
    video_release_format='WEB-DL',
    dubbing_suppliers=[
        # In this example we only have one dubbing supplier and that's
        # which contains original audio and subtitle.
        DubbingSupplier(
            name='original',
            file_id=0,
            correct_language_code='eng',
            audio_language_code='eng',
            subtitle_language_code='eng',
        ),
    ],
    season_number=6,
)

Then directory structure will look like this:

TV Shows
└── Peaky Blinders
    ├── Series 6
    │   ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E01.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.HEVC.PSA.AM.mkv
    │   ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E02.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
    │   ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E03.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
    │   ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E04.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
    │   ├── Peaky.Blinders.S06E05.INTERNAL.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
    │   └── Peaky.Blinders.S06E06.1080p.10bit.WEB-DL.x265.PSA.AM.mkv
    └── Series 6 Edited
        ├── Peaky Blinders - S06E01 - Black Day.mkv
        ├── Peaky Blinders - S06E02 - Black Shirt.mkv
        ├── Peaky Blinders - S06E03 - Gold.mkv
        ├── Peaky Blinders - S06E04 - Sapphire.mkv
        ├── Peaky Blinders - S06E05 - The Road to Hell.mkv
        └── Peaky Blinders - S06E06 - Lock and Key.mkv

And each file track infos:

Type	Title	Language	Default	Forced
Video	PSA WEB-DL	English	Yes	No
Audio		English	Yes	No
Subtitle		English	No	No

Let's treat again, this time using Medicure's command-line interface.

Since we're using CLI for the first time, we need to save our TMDB API key and TV shows directory locally:

medicure save tmdb-info YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY

medicure save collection-info \
--tvshows-directory PATH_TO_YOUR_TVSHOWS_DIRECTORY

Now we can run:

medicure treat media \
tt2442560 \
'["PSA"]' \
eng \
PSA \
WEB-DL \
'[["original", 0, "eng", "eng", "eng"]]' \
6
