Directory DurationStamp

Directory DurationStamp is a Python script using FFMPEG,to add file duration-stamps for video/audio files inside the folders, and sub-folders in a given directory. This script can be useful for keeping track of the total duration(run time) of files in each directory and subdirectories.

Features

• Pattern and mark removal: The script can remove patterns and marks from file and folder names, allowing for cleaner duration-stamps.

• Zero padding: Directory DurationStamp can add zero padding to the names of files and folders, creating a more uniform naming convention.

• Duration-stamp removal: If duration-stamps have already been applied, the script can remove them to prevent duplication.

• Multi-directory support: The script can process multiple directories and generate logs for each one, allowing for easy tracking of across multiple directories.

Usage

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the required packages: ffmpeg
3. Run the script: python directory_durationstamp.py
4. Enter the <paths_to_the_directories>
5. exit to stop
6. The script will output a log file with the timestamps for each file, folder, and subdirectory in the given directory.
