Setup

Run npm install under the base directory and the client/ directory
Create a config.yml file in the base directory, if it does not exist
In ./config.yml, set the media paths, and set a working API key for TMDb API and Spotify Web API

config.yml

# Server-side configs
movies:
  path  : '/path/to/movies/directory'
  api   : 'api.themoviedb.org/3'
  key   : '<api_key>'
music:
  path  : '/path/to/music/directory'
  api   : 'api.spotify.com/v1'
  key   : '<access_token>'
tv:
  path  : '/path/to/tv/directory'
  api   : 'api.themoviedb.org/3'
  key   : '<api_key>'

If you dont have keys, you can request API authorization from Spotify at https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/, and TMDb at https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/introduction

Naming conventions

Your media must appear in the path set by config.yml
🎥 Movies

<movies_path>  
 - (subdirectory)?  
   - (movie_file_name <TMDb-movie-ID>) (.mp4|.mkv)  

🎵 Music

<music_path>  
 - (album_directory_name <Spotify-album-ID>)  
   - ((<disc_number>-)?<track_number> track_file_name) (.mp3|.flac)  

Tracks not found on Spotify can be put in a directory titled Unknown Album sans disc/ track number

<music_path>  
 - Unknown Album  
   - (track_file_name) (.mp3|.flac)

Generating metadata

Run yarn start-dev in the base directory to start the debugger

On the server, call /api/generate once. Wait for the async call to finish and save
There is no 'watch' or 'hot reload' for server media. Adding or removing media files requires a server reset and recalling /api/generate

Run

Run yarn start in the base directory to start the application
The default application port is 5000
