# Curator

Curator is a PySide6 desktop app for managing a **Jellyfin-first movie and series
library**. You import video files into a managed **pool**; Curator identifies them
through **TMDb**, names and lays them out the way Jellyfin expects, and can
generate a genre-split **miniDLNA / Filmotéka** tree of hardlinks for dumb DLNA
players — without ever duplicating the video data on disk.

Metadata (posters, plots, `.nfo` files) is Jellyfin's job; Curator owns the files,
their names and the library structure.

## Concepts

- **Pool** — the managed folder and the **single source of truth**. Curator
  imports, renames and removes files itself, so nothing moves behind its back.
  Each top-level folder is a **library** with a kind:

  | Kind | Holds | Layout |
  |------|-------|--------|
  | `movie` | movies | `Title (rok) [tmdbid].ext`, or a folder once a film has several versions |
  | `series` | series | `Series (rok) [tmdbid]/Season NN/SxxEyy - Series.ext` |
  | `mixed` | movies and series together | as above, side by side |
  | `homevideo` | files without a TMDb id | mirrored as-is |

- **Pool index** — Curator's own metadata (TMDb id, ČSFD link, versions, tags,
  library settings) lives in one `.Curator.!index` JSON file at the pool root.
- **miniDLNA output** — a generated tree of **hardlinks** into the pool, built
  from the genres/years/ratings in Jellyfin's NFO files. It is disposable: delete
  it and regenerate it at any time.

## Features

- Import movies and episodes with a mandatory **TMDb id**; Czech titles come from
  TMDb, with **ČSFD** as a fallback and as a bridge for finding the right TMDb id.
- **Multiple versions** of one film (2D/3D, 4K, director's cut) and **multi-part**
  films and episodes, named so Jellyfin groups them.
- Subtitle sidecars follow their video through renames.
- Duplicate check, video integrity check (FFmpeg), library statistics.
- Jellyfin integration: trigger a library scan, read what Jellyfin has.
- miniDLNA tree scoped per library, with "Tipy dne" and "Nově přidané" folders.

## Requirements

- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) — manages Python 3.14 and all dependencies
- `ffmpeg` / `ffprobe` on `PATH` — optional, for the integrity check

## Configuration

Secrets and settings are read from a `.env` file in the project root (never
committed):

| Variable | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `TMDB_API_KEY` | TMDb API key — required for identifying movies and series |
| `TMDB_LANGUAGE` | TMDb language, default `cs-CZ` |
| `JELLYFIN_URL` | Jellyfin server URL — optional, for the Jellyfin menu |
| `JELLYFIN_API_KEY` | Jellyfin API key — optional |
| `ENV_DEBUG` | `true` enables debug mode |

The pool and output folders are chosen in the app (*Pool* menu).

## Running

```bash
uv sync
uv run python Curator.py
```

## Development

```bash
uv run pytest          # tests
uv run ruff check      # lint
uv run ruff format     # format
uv run mypy            # type checking
```

Detailed documentation — architecture and a per-module reference — is in
[`docs/`](docs/README.md).

## Building a standalone executable

```bash
uv run python prebuild.py
uv run pyinstaller Curator.spec --noconfirm
```

The result is a single self-contained `dist/Curator` executable.
