Bulk imports

[jayjay181818]

I have Ganymede running on a couple of instances (A NAS which VOD's don't expire and a pi which acts as a failsafe in case of failed archivals), my friend's NAS was powered off for weeks due to moving, and I wanted to import 10+ videos back into the primary Ganymede instance. I managed to get these all imported once I had all of the required fields populated and moved the folders into the directory in which VODS are stored on the NAS. This was a bit of a pain, but I managed to save a bit of time vibe coding a script to scan the folder containing the vods in which I needed to import (rather than manually inspecting each folder, -info.json and pre-populating the location for all the fields). I did notice that all of the imported videos show as 0 Bytes (I wonder if a task will run and fix these at some point), but apart from that... They seem to have imported successfully.

Would there be any chance an option could be configured to add an "Import-VODS" folder and have an option for Ganymede to scan this folder/import VOD's? It really would be handy (and make migrations easier).

This really could save me and potentially others time in future.

Here's the script I vibe-coded if it's any use! 😁 https://github.com/jayjay181818/ganymede-import-helper

There is #693 for maybe eventually adding this into Ganymede.

Part of the issue is I don't save everything from Ganymede to the info.json file, it's mainly metadata from Twitch + some extras. For this to be really useful it needs to be a Ganymede version of info.json to import. Maybe a first version of this logic would be to natively handle what your Python script does.
