Miscellaneous scripts

This is a collection of various scripts that I've created for my own specific purposes. I decided to share them with the community as examples of various tasks.

locate_dolbyvision.sh

Used to find media where Dolby Vision is the only HDR format. Useful when you are unable to play media encoded with Dolby Vision and there is no fallback format. It's somewhat common for DV encoded media to not be playable on various devices.

Required applications:

• mediainfo

• pv

Installation:

Download find_dolby_vision.sh and make the script executable with

chmod +x find_dolby_vision.sh

Run the script with optional switches:

-d /path/to/media to specify the directory to search in.

-l /path/to/logfile.log to specify the log file where results should be saved. If not specified, it defaults to the current directory.

-p to enable the progress bar.

Example usage:

./find_dolby_vision.sh -d /path/to/movies -l /path/to/logfile.log -p

    Displays the counts of .rar files grouped by the number of .bin files and creates a CSV file named "bins-in-rar.csv" in the "C:\Temp" directory.

    Extracts all .rar files to the "C:\Temp\Working" directory and then moves the extracted files to the "C:\Temp\Final" directory.
