** WTF ? **

lm list media files (only movies so far), getting information on IMDb, allowing you to display sexy titles (instead of often unreadable filename), sort by rating, display plot, etc.



** How to use it ? **

lm --help

each time you launch lm, it gets metadata for files it doesn't know, which is really slow. So, be sure to try on a directory with a few movies to test it.

** Filters **

you can filter your query using the --filter argument (or the short -f)
Currently, you can filter on genre, director or actor.
The syntax is --filter @keyword:filter,filter,filter@keyword2:filter,filter
e.g.:
lm --filter "@director:tim burton@genre:drama,fantasy"

filters are case insensitive

filter user logical OR (it means that lm --filter "@genre:sci-fi,comedy" will return all science-fiction movies and all comedies ("Starship Troopers" and "Le dîner de cons" are accepted by this filter).
If you want to use a logical AND, you can use two time the filter: lm --f@genre:sci-fi@genre:comedy will return all science-fiction movies which are also comedies (like "Galaxy Quest").


** Credit **

Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is one of the oldest site on Internet, and, as its name says, give a lot of informations on movies
