Intelligent Media Manager & Metadata Tool

Automated media library management system that scans local media files, extracts metadata, and enriches content with posters, artwork, and detailed information from third-party APIs like TMDB, TVDB, and MusicBrainz.

Intelligent Media Manager & Metadata Tool

Challenge

Managing large media libraries becomes overwhelming without proper organization, metadata, and artwork. Manually updating thousands of movies, TV shows, and music files with correct information and high-quality posters is time-consuming and error-prone.

Solution

Developed an intelligent media management system that automatically scans local media files, extracts existing metadata, identifies content using multiple third-party APIs, and enriches the library with accurate information, posters, and artwork.

Key Features

Automated media file scanning and detection across multiple formats
Intelligent content identification using filename and metadata analysis
Integration with TMDB, TVDB, and MusicBrainz APIs for comprehensive data
Automatic poster and artwork downloading and organization
Metadata extraction and enhancement using FFmpeg
Duplicate detection and media quality analysis
Batch processing and background scanning capabilities
Web-based dashboard for library management and manual corrections

Technical Implementation

Built with Node.js backend for file processing and API integrations, React frontend for the management dashboard, and TypeScript for type safety. Uses FFmpeg for media analysis, integrates with multiple third-party APIs (TMDB for movies, TVDB for TV shows, MusicBrainz for music), and implements efficient file system scanning with background processing queues.

Key Results

Processes 1000+ media files per hour
95% accuracy in content identification
Automated retrieval of high-quality artwork
Significant time savings in library organization

Impact & Outcomes

Transformed media library management from a manual, time-intensive process into an automated system that maintains organized, well-documented media collections with proper metadata and artwork, significantly improving media browsing and organization experience.
