Inside Media-Hub
python Shelf.py "Media Directory(Suggested) or leave blank to search the whole hard drive"
python manage.py populate
Shelf.py goes through the given directory or the whole hard drive(depending on choice) looking for potential movie files and then stores the movie object returned by Imdbpy in a file.
This file is then accesed by populate command which then populates the database with relevent entires
Note:
- Once Shelf.py starts indexing do not stop the program or else next time it'll start indexing from the start.The process will take a lot of time depending upon movie files present in the specified directory and the net speed.
(Can run it multiple times on smaller directories before proceeding to next step too)
2.The populate command will take time depending on net speed as it fetches movie Posters.This task need not be done in one go you can stop the program and when you run it again it will not process movies that have already been put in Database.
