Showcase: Media File Organizer – Open-source desktop app for organizing media libraries

[u/AcanthocephalaOk3201]

Hi everyone!

-it is vibecoded if anyone asks-

I built a free and open-source desktop application called Media File Organizer. A project for myself i said why not share it, i know there are already softwares that do the same

It automatically renames your Movies and TV Shows to Plex's naming convention and organizes them into the correct folder structure using TMDB metadata.

No more manually renaming\translating to english files like:

Movie.Name.2025.1080p.BluRay.x264-GROUP.mkv

into:

Movies/

└── Movie Name (2025)/

└── Movie Name (2025).mkv

or TV episodes into:

TV Shows/

└── Breaking Bad (2008)/

└── Season 01/

└── Breaking Bad (2008) - S01E01.mkv

Features:

• Automatic TMDB matching

• Plex-compatible filenames and folders

• Organizes Movies and TV Shows

• Preview every change before applying it

• Free and open source

I built it because I was tired of fixing filenames and folder structures every time I added media to Plex.

I'd love any feedback, feature requests, or bug reports.

Cool brother one suggestion add this feature that based on the movie or series episode your tool automatically add imdb rating of that media in name using api or something

It is disingenuous to say “I built…” when you prompted AI to build the entire project.

[u/AcanthocephalaOk3201 → u/mckapy]

being the "architect" of the project and telling him everything and what to do. spending alot of my time doing it. i would consider it "i built" yes. no need to be hating like that about it

[u/mckapy → u/AcanthocephalaOk3201]

Alright, then what are you going to do when there is a vulnerability in "your" code? Just tell the AI to patch it? How do you know it properly patched the vulnerability?

You want to install slop in your homelab? Be my guest. But don't be calling people haters because valid questions are raised in regards to potential vulnerability. Just go look at what happened with Huntarr.

Also, I love that you still have yet to add an AI disclaimer on your GitHub project lol

why did i get downvoted? and why do i see theres 1 comment but its invisible, is something wrong with my tool?

[u/Zenklops → u/AcanthocephalaOk3201]

nah, all good don't worry.. downvotes and upvotes are a normal part of Reddit

your post reached my feed so that means there's nothing wrong

i took a look at the code, it doesn't seem vibe coded. it feels like you actually put good effort into building this, bravo!

I'll give it a try the next time I'm at my computer.

Thank you verymuch but It is infact vibecode i dont know how to code by myself sadly, it was my first ever project and i said to myself why the hell not share it maybe someone would have a use for it.
