ReelName scans your media files, matches them against TMDB, and transfers them with perfect naming for Plex and Jellyfin.
Features
ReelName handles the tedious middle step. Point it at your files, review the matches, and let it do the rest.
Automatic identification against The Movie Database. Smart scoring weighs title similarity, year, media type, and popularity to pick the best match.
Formats files exactly how Plex and Jellyfin expect. Movies, episodes, specials, and extras — each gets the right folder structure and filename.
Copy files to a local drive or push them to a remote server via SFTP. Resumable transfers so interruptions don't mean starting over.
Movies, TV episodes, specials (Season 0), and extras like behind-the-scenes, deleted scenes, featurettes, trailers, and more.
Queue up transfers and watch them run. Real-time progress with speed, ETA, and per-file status streamed via server-sent events.
Runs as a native app on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Sits in your system tray, launches instantly, and opens in your browser.
How It Works
No YAML, no templates, no regex. Just point, review, and transfer.
Point ReelName at a folder. It parses filenames to extract titles, years, seasons, episodes, quality, and codec information automatically.
Each group is matched against TMDB. High-confidence matches are auto-confirmed. Ambiguous results are flagged for your review — pick the right one and move on.
Choose a destination — local path or remote server via SSH — and ReelName handles the rest. Files land in the right folders with the right names, ready for your media server.
