# FFX
FFX is a local CLI and Textual TUI for inspecting TV episode files, storing normalization rules in SQLite, and converting outputs into a predictable stream, metadata, and filename layout.
## Requirements
- Linux-like environment
- `python3`
- `ffmpeg`
- `ffprobe`
- `cpulimit`
## Installation
FFX uses a two-step local setup flow.
### 1. Install The Bundle
This step creates or reuses the persistent bundle virtualenv in `~/.local/share/ffx.venv`, installs FFX into it, and ensures `ffx` is exposed through a shell alias.
```sh
bash tools/setup.sh
```
If you also want the Python packages needed for the modern test suite:
```sh
bash tools/setup.sh --with-tests
```
You can verify the bundle state without changing anything:
```sh
bash tools/setup.sh --check
```
### 2. Prepare System Dependencies And Local User Files
This step installs or verifies workstation dependencies and seeds local config and data directories. It is the step wrapped by the CLI command `ffx configure_workstation`.
Run it directly:
```sh
bash tools/configure_workstation.sh
```
Or through the installed CLI:
```sh
ffx configure_workstation
```
Check-only mode is available in both forms:
```sh
bash tools/configure_workstation.sh --check
ffx configure_workstation --check
```
`tools/configure_workstation.sh` does not manage the bundle virtualenv. Python-side test packages belong to `tools/setup.sh --with-tests`.
## Basic Usage
Examples:
```sh
ffx version
ffx inspect /path/to/episode.mkv
ffx convert /path/to/episode.mkv
ffx shows
```
## Modern Tests
Install Python test packages first:
```sh
bash tools/setup.sh --with-tests
```
Then run the modern automatically discovered test suite:
```sh
./tools/test.sh
```
This runner uses `pytest` and intentionally excludes the legacy harness under `tests/legacy/`.
## Default Local Paths
- Config: `~/.local/etc/ffx.json`
- Database: `~/.local/var/ffx/ffx.db`
- Log file: `~/.local/var/log/ffx.log`
- Bundle venv: `~/.local/share/ffx.venv`
## TMDB
TMDB-backed metadata enrichment requires `TMDB_API_KEY` to be set in the environment.
## Version History
### 0.2.5
- show-level quality and notes fields
- pattern-over-show-over-default season-shift resolution with dynamic DB migration loading
- migration prompt now reports the upgrade path and creates an in-place DB backup before applying schema changes
- `upgrade --branch <name>` now fetches remote-only branches before switching
- `unmux` now applies season shifting to subtitle output filenames
- convert now keeps DB-defined target subtitle dispositions authoritative over sidecar filename disposition flags when a pattern definition exists
- focused modern tests added around migrations, unmux, upgrade, and subtitle-disposition import precedence
### 0.2.4
- lightweight CLI commands now stay import-light via lazy runtime loading
- setup/config templating moved to `assets/ffx.json.j2`
- aligned two-step local setup wrappers: `ffx setup` and `ffx configure_workstation`
- combined `ffprobe` payload reuse in `FileProperties`
- configurable crop-detect sampling plus per-process crop result caching
- single-query controller accessors and conditional DB schema bootstrap
- shared screen bootstrap/controller wiring for large detail screens
- configurable default season/episode digit lengths
- digit-aware `rename` and padded `unmux` filename markers
### 0.2.3
- PyPI packaging
- output filename templating
- season shifting
