NAME

File::TVShow::Info - Perl meta data extractor from file name for TV Show file.

VERSION

Version 0.01.2

SYNOPSIS

This module is intended to identify and extract nformation in the file name of a TV show. These details can then be accessed by calling the relevant methods. It does NOT attempt to read the contents of the file.

Note: This module will be modelled off https://metacpan.org/pod/Video::Filename created by Behan Webster, but will focus on TV Shows only and with additional features.

If the file name is parsed and can not be identified as a TV show then "is_tv_show" will return 0.

use File::TVShow::Info;
my $show = File::TVShow::Info->new('file');

Methods

new

Create a Info object to extract meta information from the file name.

my $show = File::TVShow::Info->new('file');

Object attributes.

Attributes may be accessed through $show->{attribute_name} however methods do exist for all required operations.

  • show_name: Name of the show.

  • original_show_name: This will contain the show name found in the file name without any modifications. This will only be defined if _isolate_name_year has found a year string within the file name such as name.2019, name.(2019), name 2018, name (2018)

  • season: Show season

  • episode: Show episode

  • episode_name

  • country

  • endep: (Naming under consideration) last Episode number found when file name contains SXXEXXEXX

  • year, month, date: Show date e.g 2019.03.03 This can be accessed using the method "ymd" Note: year will be defined in two cases. One: show name contains year. show_name.yyyy or Two: File name contains YYYY.MM.DD that are identified by date. These are mutually exclusive and no conflict is expected.
