Theme-Tune-Remover

Given a folder with video files inside & a wav file of the theme tune this script will find & remove the theme tune and save an audio file of the results.

Why?

I listen to different tv shows when I go to sleep and I'm sick of hearing the same theme song over and over again. Finally I have developed this tool to remove the theme tune and convert to .wav file. Its much more relaxing to listen to.

Installation

• Download Anaconda
• Run the Anaconda Command Prompt, and inside that the following commands:

conda create -n themeTuneRemover python=3.6
conda activate themeTuneRemover
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

• Simply run conda activate from with the anaconda prompt: conda activate themeTuneRemover
• Create (or update) the .env.local file and write the specified directory inside it. (Don't worry about subdirectories, themeTuneRemover will find all files ending in .mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv and work through the list.)
• Create a .wav file of the theme tune only. You'll need an audio editor for this, like Goldwave or Audicity - and place it in the directory that you supplied in the .env.local file.
• Navigate to the directory where you git cloned this repository, and run python ttr.py.

Todo

• Instead of creating .wav files I want it to create .mp3 and have the attributes read from the .env.local file, however when I tested this the sound files doubled themselves up for some reason, so further testing is requried. At the moment I'm just batch processing the .wav's in Goldwave to convert them to .mp3.
