 ## Overview
 
-This simple Python script for renaming movie files in a Plex database.
-[Plex](http://plex.tv/) is a software suite for organizing videos,

+This is a simple script for renaming movie files based on Plex
+metadata. [Plex](http://plex.tv/) is a software suite for organizing
+videos, music and photos.  It can identify movies based on their file
+names and retrieve corresponding metadata.  In practice, however, not
+all files are named appropriate and thus some movies usually need to
+be manually assigned to the corresponding movie title. Unfortunately,
 Plex is not able to rename these files and thus if the database is
-initialized from the scratch these files need to be manually fixed
-again.
+deleted or re-installed, these files need to be manually fixed again.
 
-The Python script `perplex` solves this problem.  Given an
-installation of Plex and the corresponding database, it lists all
-imported movies and renames them according to the retrieved movie
-metadata.  To avoid breaking the current installation, the renamed
-files are copied to another directory.
+The script `perplex.py` solves this problem.  Given an installation of
+Plex and the corresponding database of metadata, the script extracts
+all movies and renames the corresponding files according to the
+retrieved metadata.  To avoid breaking the current installation, the

-That's it.
+## Usage
+
+First, extract all the metadata from the Plex database and save it.
+
+    $ ./perplex.py --save movies.db --plex /var/plex
+    Analyzing Plex database: Found 335 movies and 365 files
+ 	Saving metadata to movies.db
+
+Now start the renaming process. The renamed movies are written to
+the given directory.
+
+    $ ./perplex.py --load movies.db --dest ./output
+    Loading metadata from movies.db
+    Copying renamed files to ./output
