Personal Movies Database Creator

Contributions

Open-Source

A small utility that scans a given directory, containing Movies, and tries to fetch information about them from online APIs. The fetched information is then stored in a Local Database, for later usages. The created movies' database can also be viewed using the reader utility provided.

Requires Python 3.3+ ( and Internet Connection 😅 )

Python Dependencies :-

• sqlite3 (pip3 install sqlite3)
• terminaltables (pip3 install terminaltables)
• requests (pip3 install requests)

Example Usages :-

To build a movies' database :-

python3 create_db.py <movies_directory_path>

To read a movies' database :-

python3 read_db.py <database_file_path>

Screenshots :-

• Building the Movies Database (create_db.py) ,

• Reading the Movies Database (read_db.py) ,
  

TODO :

• Make it argument driven
• Complete and 'prettify' the Database Reader program
• Add several other APIs for better success rate
• Merge the reader and writer programs into one module
• Replace screenshots with gif
