NAME
imdb-get -- Looks up IMDB data for a film. SYNOPSIS
imdb-get [options] [--imdb-id id] [-l id] [--search search string] [-s search string] [--filename filename] [-f filename] [-h ] [--help] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the imdb-get command. imdb-get has three modes. It can be called with imdb ID and a set of details to print, in which case it will retrieve those details either from the cache or IMDB. Secondly, it can be called with a filename in which case it will look the file up in the cache (resolving symlinks as appropriate and checking for multiple disks from the same film) and if that fails it will use the filename to search IMDB. Alterna- tively it may be used with just a search string, which will always search IMDB. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -h --help Print syntax and options. -l --imdb-id Specify IMDBID to use in queries. -s --search Specify search string to use in queries. -f --filename Specify filename. Will be used to form search queries if no ID or search string is specified. -i --id Print IMDB ID (default if nothing else is selected). -t --title Print film title. -g --genre Print film genres. --tag Print film tag line. -y --year Print film year. -c --cover Print cover art URI. -m --print-filename Print film genres. -a --all Print all film details. -e --cachedir Set cache directory. -d --download-cover Download cover art locally. -r --refresh Force an update from IMDB not the cache. -n --rename Rename file based on IMDB title. -u --update-filename Update the filename in a stored record --prune-duplicates Removes cache files with duplicate filename entries. (Removes all but the most recently modified cache file) --refresh-cache Refresh all the details in the cache from IMDB (may be slow). FILES
Config options are read from /etc/imdbgetrc or $HOME/.imdbgetrc SEE ALSO
