Setup

Compiled binaries can be found in releases.

Features

🎬 Wide Media Support

Rexedia supports all file extensions supported by FFMPEG.

rexedia -i "file.mp4" -c "(.+)" "$1.png" -o "(.+)" "$1.avi"

⭐ Features

Complicated tasks simplified:

• Apply cover art and metadata.
• Customize output with regular expressions and back references.
• Support for preset files instead of command-line flags.
• Logging to track changes.

rexedia -i video.mp4 -p preset.yml

# preset.yml
metadata:
  - meta: 'title'
    regex: '(.+)'
    format: '$1'

✔ Safe Video Formatting

Rexedia preserves the integrity of the video file.

• Verify file integrity using the -v flag.
• Backup files will always be saved on format failure.
• Use the -b flag to keep backup files even on successful formats.

rexedia -i "file.mp4" -c "(.+)" "$1.png" -b -v 3

Arguments

Regular expression will test against the file name without the extension.

At least one input required.

A cover, metadata, or output; or preset must be specified. If a preset is specified then the cover, metadata, and output flags will be ignored.

Example Usage

Assign video a cover art image with the same name

┬ video.mp4
└ video.png

rexedia -i video.mp4 -c "(.+)" "$1.png"

Assign video a cover art image with the same name and save to new file

┬ video.mp4 → video.avi
└ video.png

rexedia -i video.mp4 -c "(.+)" "$1.png" -o "(.+)" "$1.avi"

Assign video metadata based on the name

─ [S01 E02] video.mp4 → ┌ season_number = 1
                        ├ episode_sort = 2
                        └ show = video

rexedia -i video.mp4 -m "season_number" "\[S0*(\d*) E0*\d*\]" "$1" -m "episode_sort" "\[S0*\d* E0*(\d*)\]" "$1" -m "show" "\[S0*\d* E0*\d*\] (.+)" "$1"

Presets

cover:  # cover art
  regex: '(.+)'  # the regex capture string
  format: '$1'  # the final cover art name (regex backreferences supported)
metadata:  # list of metadata tags
  - meta: 'name'  # the metadata tag name
    regex: '(.+)'  # the regex capture string
    format: '$1'  # the final metadata value (regex backreferences supported)
output:  # output file
  regex: '(.+)'  # the regex capture string
  format: '$1'  # the final output name (regex backreferences supported)

Example Usage

Assign video metadata based on the name from preset

┬ [S01 E02] video.mp4 → ┌ season_number = 1
└ preset.yml            ├ episode_sort = 2
                        └ show = video

# preset.yml
metadata:
  - meta: 'season_number'
    regex: '\[S0*(\d*) E0*\d*\\]'
    format: '$1'
  - meta: 'episode_sort'
    regex: '\[S0*\d* E0*(\d*)\]'
    format: '$1'
  - meta: 'show'
    regex: '\[S0*\d* E0*\d*\] (.+)'
    format: '$1'

rexedia -i video.mp4 -p preset.yml
