About sickbeardmp4automator

sickbeard_mp4_automator is an open-source Python automation script for organizing downloaded video files. It converts media files to a standardized format and adds metadata tags from TMDB when the container supports tagging. Despite its name, it handles more than MP4 files and works with tools beyond Sickbeard.

You can connect it to media managers including Sonarr, Radarr, Sickbeard, and SickRage, and to download clients including NZBGet, SABnzbd, Deluge, uTorrent, and qBittorrent. The default output is MP4 container with H264 video, AAC 2.0 audio with an additional AC3 track for multi-channel sources, and mov_text subtitles. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and official Docker images are available for Sonarr and Radarr setups. Setup requires Python 3, FFmpeg, and editing an autoProcess.ini configuration file.

It suits people who maintain a local TV and movie library and want consistent files and metadata across downloads.
