##About Alexandria is tool to organize a digital movie collection in the filesystem. Organization is done with symlinks. Information is obtained dynamically from IMDB.

##Installation Alexandria depends on nodejs and some modules (express, socket.io and others). These modules are included.

• Install nodejs
• execute node app.js
• open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

##Configuration

The configuration is stored in public/javascripts/config.js

##Usage

• Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser
• Select a video file in the file tree
• Enter the matching IMDB url in the IMDB section, e. g. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114814/
• Click search
• Change filename as you please. (Please note that whitespaces and other special chars will automatically be converted to dots. E. g. The Usual Suspects.mkv becomes The.Usual.Suspects.mkv) See lib/makeCleanFilename.js for details.
• Select which symlinks to create
• Ignore the IMDB rating link, this is not functional right now
• Ignore the Trailer section, this is not functional right now
• Click Submit

Your video file will be moved to ${fsRoot}/${videoDirname}/all/${filename}. See the config file for details. Symlinks are created in ${fsRoot}/${videoDirname}/{Actor,Director,Year,IMDB-Rating}.

Please note that there is currently no feedback for the submit action. I recommend you keep a file browser at hand or refresh the file system tree within Alexandria after submitting the form.
